HIlary became famous for her starring role on the television show Lizzie McGuire, Duff went on to have a film career, and her most commercially successful pictures include Cheaper by the Dozen and The Lizzie McGuire Movie. She reportedly earned $15 million in 2005. Her first major part was as the star of the 1998 film Casper Meets Wendy, playing the young witch Wendy, who encounters the animated character Casper.
After a fair amount of success in films, Duff got a record label. Her second album and first studio album, Metamorphosis, was released in 2003 and reached number one on the U.S. and Canadian charts. It became one of the biggest selling albums of the year in the U.S.
Duff began dating singer Aaron Carter in 2002. They met on the set of Lizzie McGuire, when Carter had a cameo role on a Christmas episode. The relationship lasted a year and a half. It was reported that Carter left actress Hilary Duff for Lindsay Lohan, then broke up with Lohan and resumed dating Duff. Carter said he also cheated on Duff with her best friend, that Duff "got her heart broken" and that he is "sorry" for his actions. Lohan and Duff resolved their feud, allegedly over both of their relationships with Aaron Carter, in 2007. A new feud Hilary became involved with shortly was with Avril Lavigne, however this was resolved with little incident.
In late 2006, Duff took legal action against an alleged stalker. On November 3, 2006, Duff's stalker, Maksim Miakovsky, was arrested for threatening to kill her that weekend. He was booked on charges of making criminal threats and stalking.
Luckily for us, Hillary's 2005 veneers didn't impair her singing voice. Listen to her greatest hits here!
