Hilary Duff, one of the more famous entertainers to the younger audience in recent memory, has taken a “common” approach to success. Just like Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, and Christina Aguilera before her, Duff landed a part in a Disney production and saw her stock shoot through the roof. Duff, best known as Lizzie McGuire, took the show to heights few other Disney shows have reached and followed the television success with roles in numerous movies. The Lizzie McGwire Movie was successful and landed her a part in “Agent Cody Banks” where she co-starred with Frankie Muniz, best known for his role in the television show “Malcolm In The Middle.” She also has prominent parts in the movies “Cheaper By The Dozen” and “A Cinderella Story.” The fame from her television and movie roles convinced Duff to try her act at singing, another activity she enjoyed in her spare time. Her 2003 debut “Metamorphosis” had numerous hits and she followed that up with a concert DVD and a second album that was self-titled. Duff, still only 17 years, is doing her best to make sure she’s not looked at as a teen pop star and with so many avenues for success, it’s hard to think she won’t be around for many years.
