Starfest 2006 Julia Styles

Julia Styles
Ms. Styles will be appearing at Starfest as part of the 20th Century Fox presentation for The Omen.

Already well known for an impressive number of roles as a young woman, Julia is well on her way to stardom as an adult actress. She's one of those rare child stars that has been able to grow successfully into adult starring roles.

Born in New York City in 1981, she made her off-Broadway debut at the age of 11. Shortly after, she was in the running and almost got the role of Claudia in Interview with the Vampire. Luckily for us, she didn't quit looking for work after that disappointment, but kept trying and landed her first cinematic feature I Love You, I Love You Not with Claire Danes. Julia next appeared with Harrison Ford in The Devil's Own and in 1998 she played Ellie Christianson in Wicked. Her next three roles were taken from Shakespeare: A modern update to Taming of The Shrew titled 10 Things I Hate About You, Ophelia in Hamlet with Ethan Hawke, and another modern update - that of Othello titled O. She then enrolled at Columbia University and graduated with a degree in English, she moved-on to star with Matt Damon in The Bourne Identity and its sequel, The Bourne Supremacy. In between those two features, she played opposite Julia Roberts in Mona Lisa Smile. Last year she starred in A Little Trip to Heaven and Edmond. It doesn't look like she'll be using her English degree to teach school anytime soon.

Julia Styles will be appearing on the Starfest Main Events Stage on Saturday, April 22nd. Her availability for autographs and photos is not known at this time. Consult the Starfest Schedule for times and more information as it becomes available.
