As talented as she is appealing, the bubbly blonde actress Hilary Duff became a showbiz veteran at an early age, making her professional debut in the Columbus Ballet production of "The Nutcracker" at the tender age of six. She starred in a number of feature projects including "Casper Meets Wendy" (1998) and "Soul Collector" (1999) before gaining wide exposure as the title character in the teen sitcom "Lizzie McGuire" (2001). The popular Disney show chronicled the life of a teenage junior high student and her friends. The show uses a cartoon version of Lizzie (her alter ego) as a commentator, which added originality to the highly rated show.
