When Julia Stiles was a teen, she lost out on the highly coveted role of Claudia in Interview with the Vampire because director Neil Jordan deemed her to be " too old " for the part. Coincidentally, the actress went on t o work with Jordan in the Sundance crime drama Riviera in The show became a hit for the network.
In the series, Stiles plays Georgia Clios, an art curator attempting to uncover the truth behind her husband's death. The character commits some immoral acts throughout the series, and Stiles has enjoyed playing the anti-hero. In an interview with Deadline in February , Stiles said, "The thing I think about an anti-hero that I think is interesting is that, I like watching the process of how does this person slide into immorality.
In fact, the crime behind the success is the element of the story that drew Stiles to the part. She told Paper Mag in September , "The original nexus of the idea behind Riviera that sold me was this idea that behind every fortune is a great crime, and Hustlers kind of deals with the same thing. Julia Stiles rose to fame during a much simpler time. Without social media, the actress didn't have to endure hateful comments from trolls or need to endlessly self-promote herself online, which is something she is thankful for.
In an interview with InStyle in September , Stiles said, "When I was starting out, becoming more successful and having to promote what I was in, doing an interview like this for instance, I'd still be careful about what I was saying, but I didn't have to worry about something being pulled out of context for clickbait and the Twittersphere.
The actress previously shared the same sentiments in an interview with Harper's Bazaar in May , saying, "You have to be a lot more cautious, so much more is recorded now but then at the same time, with Instagram and Twitter, you have an opportunity to have a more direct platform and I am trying to navigate that, just like everyone else is.
Julia Stiles is probably relieved not to have come of age with social media capturing everything she was doing and saying wrong, but that doesn't mean she escaped completely unscathed. As the actress admitted in an interview with NME , if she had it her way, nobody would be "quoted in print before the age of For the most part, though, she's grateful for that time in her life, and she looks back on it fondly.
However, Stiles wishes she'd chosen her words more carefully, admitting to a lack of experience speaking to the press. She recalled, "I learned through trial and error what it means to be quoted," explaining if she could do it all over again, "I wouldn't have said things for effect and for popularity over things that I actually thought.
Although Hollywood is, unfortunately, very well known for putting actresses out to pasture once they've hit the age of 31 — sometimes even before — Julia Stiles isn't concerned about finding work as she gets older.
In fact, Stiles is relishing the parts she's getting in her 30s and 40s. She admitted to Glamour that, in her 20s, the idea of trying to find work ten or 20 years later would've been terrifying. Now that she's actually there, however, she said, "I feel like the opportunities for me and my peers are better and better as we get older. Stiles acknowledged that she started out being offered the girlfriend role, which slowly transitioned to the mother, but the older she gets, the meatier the material the actress is being offered.
The Riviera star reiterated in an interview with InStyle , "I think the roles that we're playing have gotten so much more interesting than what we were doing in our 20s. The movie 10 Things I Hate About You was such a major, career-defining moment for Julia Stiles, one that will likely continue to dominate interviews even in her golden years.
Thankfully, the actress is more than happy to continue discussing her character, Kat, and everything she loved about playing her. None of the actors felt jaded or shut down [on the set]," she gushed to NME. Stiles credits the role with getting her more interesting parts down the line, too. When it comes to the matter of a reunion sequel, however many years later, she's not against the idea, although Stiles admitted to having no idea how it would work logically.
On where her most beloved character would be a decade or two on, she opined, "I would hope that Kat would be a lot happier outside of high school. A Guy Thing bombed at the box office, earning less than its production budget. Stiles had more success with the Jason Bourne films in , but her role as Nicky was not enough to bring her back into the Hollywood spotlight.
As a result, Stiles continued to take on many non-mainstream projects from onward. The show became so successful that it premiered on the U. Though Riviera is not extremely well known in the U.
According to The Hollywood Reporter , Stiles asked director Lorene Scafaria for an opportunity in any capacity to be a part of the film. This resulted in an opportunity to play the journalist Elizabeth, something Stiles did not take for granted.
Stiles then gave birth to her son Strummer Newcomb in October I would hope that Kat would be a lot happier outside of high school. I would watch it, for sure! I have no problem at all [with it being made]. My heart really goes out to Michelle Williams and his daughter. I think that started with Kat. Immediately afterward, there were a lot of romantic comedies, teen comedies. But then as I got a little bit older and that trend shifted, it all started to change for me as well.

Catching up with the New York Times in , Keegan concurred, "Quite frankly, I did not know how to draw a dick on someone's face, and I believe David was the one that helped creatively with that.
The actor turned founder of Full Circle , a spiritual and wellness center in Venice, Calif. It's haunted me for the rest of my life. It's wonderful. I was upset about the music, because I had envisioned way more of a hardline, riot grrrl soundtrack," Smith told Broadly. Part of it is just growing up as an artist and a writer.
You can cling to the idea of what something should be, but the beauty of collaboration is that a new take on it could turn it into the best version it could become.
Another big tweak: Kat and Bianca's mom was originally present, but she was made into an absent parent who up and left to give some more relatable context to Kat's perpetual state of defensiveness. Stiles' drunken dancing atop a table to Notorious B. Junger told the Times that he was thinking of bringing his pal Paula Abdul on to choreograph the scene, but Stiles volunteered to just figure it out. I mean I love dancing, but sort of provocatively on the table?
I was pretty guileless at that point. I also have heard that that is what got me the part in Save the Last Dance. The director said to me that he had seen that scene, then realized that I could do hip-hop, not just ballet. Stiles famously nailed her emotional reading of her poem in one take, the unplanned tears coming naturally. In the moment, "I never expected that I was going to start crying. I don't know why I did, whether it connected to something going on at the time, or if I was just overwhelmed by the whole experience of making my first big movie.
There is a bit of a discrepancy when it comes to the moment that ties the film and the title together, but, to be fair, "14 Things I Hate About You" doesn't have the same ring to it. Meanwhile, without further explanation, Stiles told the Times that her reaction was probably a combination of joy and sadness that the shoot was about over, but she also acknowledged being "just in a very raw place. I thought that was really cool. They split up in , but later reunited for a reunion tour and the EP Back to Nebraska in We hear the whir of a chopper right above us, and then it dive-bombs us.
We did two takes, and it was pretty much assumed that this shot wasn't going to work, and Gil would never work in Hollywood again because he had just blown through half a million dollars doing this shot he was forbidden to do.
And it ended up being a pretty iconic scene. It's just that the movie was so good. It's just not very inventive," wrote the New York Times ' Alessandra Stanley in her review at the time. But comparisons were inevitable and an audience more nostalgic for the original than anything else wasn't all that interested.
