Julia Stiles | Philanthropist

Have you seen the romantic comedy film 10 Things I Hate About You? If you have, then you’ve probably cried along with Katarina “Kat” Stratford’s poem. Well, the credit for the iconic role that many still love today goes to none other than Julia Stiles. The actress started her career at the early age of 11 and has racked up roles and recognition ever since. The star’s early start, to some degree, might have been one of the reasons why she took back a step from acting into philanthropy.

Ultimately, we could say that the actress just has a big heart. Stiles has worked for Habitat for Humanity, where she built housings with other workers in Costa Rica. She has also worked with Amnesty International to raise awareness of the harsh conditions of immigration detention of unaccompanied juveniles. Overall, on- or off-screen, the actress just keeps on wowing us!
