Hillary Duff

Actress, model, and singer, Hillary Duff is an American pop culture icon. She has appeared in movies, commercials and television shows, and has released three music albums that have all topped charts in North America.



Hillary Duff was born on September 28th, in Houston, Texas. She is the second child to parents Robert Duff, an owner of a chain of mini-markets, and Susan Cobb, a homemaker. Hillary's acting career would begin with a series of local theatre productions, alongside her sister, Haylie Duff. At age six, Hillary and Haylie performed in a San Antonio production of the ballet 'The Nutcracker Suite'.



Susan and her two daughters then moved to Los Angeles so that the sisters could pursue a performance career more seriously. Robert Duff remained in Texas to stay in control of the family's store chain. In the coming years, Hillary and her sister would appear in a number of television commercials.



Hillary landed a couple of uncredited movie roles in the late 1990's, but her first significant movie experience was the 1998 production 'Casper Meets Wendy'. The movie went directly to videos and did not get a lot of attention.
