#16: Hilary Duff
Hilary Duff was the queen of teenage entertainment back in the day, even though she’s still well-known as an adult. When she was 6 years old, Hilary moved to California from Texas with her mom and sister so the girls could pursue a career in acting, and that sure was a good call. After years of commercials and minor roles, Hilary landed the title role in Lizzie McGuire on the Disney Channel.
Lizzie McGuire was a smash hit for Disney and launched Hilary into superstardom. She’s had starring roles in dozens of films, done many TV shows, and even had a brief but successful singing career. Hilary has been married twice; she has a son from her first marriage and two daughters with her current husband, musical artist Matthew Koma.
