Julia Stiles - actress; biography; photo wallpapers: Julia O'Hara Stiles (born
March 28, 1981) is an American stage and screen actress. After
beginning her theatre career in small parts in a New York City theatre
troupe, she has moved on to leading roles in plays by writers as
diverse as William Shakespeare and David Mamet. Her film career has
included both commercial and critical successes, ranging from teen
romantic comedies such as 10 Things I Hate About You (1999) to dark art
house pictures such as The Business of Strangers (2001). Stiles also
actively supports a variety of progressive causes. Stiles was born in
New York City to John O'Hara, an Irish American teacher and
businessman, and Judith Stiles, a potter of English ancestry. She has
two younger siblings, Jane and Johnny. Stiles was raised in SoHo by
liberal, lapsed Catholic parents. She started acting at age eleven,
performing with New York's La MaMa Theatre Company and securing work by
submitting photographs of herself in costume to the company and asking
that she be kept in mind for juvenile roles. Stiles began her acting
career in television roles. After two appearances as the computer punk
"Erica Dansby" on the PBS series Ghostwriter in 1993 and 1994, she
appeared as a guest star on the medical drama Chicago Hope. She has
been seen in two made-for-TV movies: in Before Women Had Wings (1997)
on CBS, she played opposite Ellen Burstyn and Oprah Winfrey in an
adaptation of the novel by Connie May Fowler; and she played a teenage
girl who finds herself pregnant and runs away from her unforgiving
father (Bill Smitrovich) in NBC's miniseries The '60's (1999), a film
Caryn James of The New York Times dismissed as "conspicuously idiotic."
Stiles was the public face of the film, with NBC using her face,
painted with a peace sign and the American flag, both in its
advertising and on the cover of the soundtrack album.
