New York native and actress Julia Stiles was just 20-years-old when she was cast as Kat Stratford — the smart, non-conforming high school student — in the 1999 romantic comedy film “10 Things I hate About You.”
Stiles shared the big screen with Heath Ledger as the handsome weirdo, Patrick Verona, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the sweet and selfless new student, Cameron James, Gabrielle Union as the rude pot-stirrer, Chastity, and Allison Janney as the comedic yet disciplinary high school principal, Ms. Perky.
Julia also played Sara in the 2001 film “Save The Last Dance.”
