Julia Stiles has done a Clare Danes, or, if you prefer, a Kevin Spacey. Moving on from huge Hollywood blockbusters, Julia is turning to TV roles and bringing the silver screen to our tellys. She’s bringing the drama tonight in new series, Blue, where she’ll play a mother and accountant living a secret double life as a prostitute. But who is she? Our first memories of Julia are when she burst onto our screens when we were teenagers, so we’ve taken an indulgent stroll down memory lane to look back at her career highlights...
1. 10 Things I Hate About You
Julia played mean older sister and indie rock fan Bianca alongside dreamy Heath Ledger and Joseph Gordon-Levitt in this teen adaption of The Taming Of The Shrew that made Shakespeare cool.
3. The Bourne Films
Julia’s character Nicky Parsons appeared in action films The Bourne Ultimatum, The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Identity alongside Mr Bourne himself, Matt Damon.
4. Silver Linings Playbook
In a touching film exploring mental illness, Silver Linings Playbook saw Julia Stiles play a controlling wife and the sister of grieving widow Tiffany, played by Jennifer Lawrence.
Don't forget, you can catch the premier of Blue tonight at 10pm, exclusively on Lifetime.
