IMDb file: Julia Stiles on her path from teenage stardom to ‘Bourne’
“It’s really funny to me when people tell me which movies they respond to, and it’s usually movies I didn’t expect would resonate with people so many years later,” Julia Stiles says. “I don’t take that for granted.”
This comes up frequently for Stiles, who broke into the big time with the popular 1999 teen flick “10 Things I Hate About You” with Heath Ledger. The actress, now 36, quickly became a well-known face in the teen genre, including roles in “Save the Last Dance” and “Down to You.”
Her career has shifted a lot in recent years, especially with TV shows like “Blue” and the Bourne movie franchise. Now Stiles is starring in “Riviera,” a thriller series that again reinvents her image, which premieres Thursday, Sept. 14 on Sundance Now.
“I was open to the idea because I feel like the right TV show can be really satisfying for actors,” Stiles notes of the project, on which she plays a billionaire’s wife who has to deal with the fallout of his untimely death. “You get to explore a character and a story for much more screen time. It was also a nice surprise to think that I could live in the French Riviera for seven months.”
Here Stiles revisits some of her most familiar roles, from “10 Things” to “Dexter.
