Early life and education

Stiles was born in New York City [1] to Judith Newcomb Stiles, a Greenwich Village artist, and John O'Hara, a businessman. She is the oldest of three children; her siblings are John Junior and Jane (also an actress). [3] Stiles is of English, Irish, and Italian descent. [4] She started acting at age 11, performing with New York's La MaMa Theatre Company. [5]

Career

Film and television

Stiles made her acting debut in 1993 on the mystery show Ghostwriter as Erica Dansby. [6]

Stiles's first film role was in I Love You, I Love You Not (1996), with Claire Danes and Jude Law. [7] She also had small roles as Harrison Ford's character's daughter in Alan J. Pakula's The Devil's Own (1997) and in M. Night Shyamalan's Wide Awake (1998). Her first lead was in Wicked (1998), playing a teenage girl who might have murdered her mother so she could have her father all to herself. Critic Joe Baltake wrote she was "the darling of the 1998 Sundance Film Festival." [8] She next starred in the TV miniseries The '60s in 1999. [8]

Later that year, she portrayed Kat Stratford, opposite Heath Ledger in Gil Junger's 10 Things I Hate About You , an adaptation of The Taming of the Shrew set in a high school in Seattle. She won an MTV Movie Award for Breakthrough Female Performance for the role. The Chicago Film Critics voted her the most promising new actress of the year. Her next starring role was in Down to You (2000), which was panned by critics, but earned both her and her co-star Freddie Prinze, Jr. a Teen Choice Award nomination for their on-screen chemistry. She subsequently appeared in two more Shakespearean adaptations. The first was as Ophelia in Michael Almereyda's Hamlet (2000), with Ethan Hawke in the lead. The second was in the Desdemona role, opposite Mekhi Phifer, in Tim Blake Nelson's O (2001), a version of Othello set at a boarding school. Neither film was a great success; O was subject to many delays and a change of distributors, and Hamlet was an art house film shot on a minimal budget.

Stiles's next commercial success was in Save the Last Dance (2001) as an aspiring ballerina forced to leave her small town in downstate Illinois to live with her struggling musician father in Chicago after her mother dies in a car accident. At her new, nearly all-black school, she falls in love with the character played by Sean Patrick Thomas who teaches her hip-hop dance steps that help get her into the Juilliard School. The role won her two more MTV awards for Best Kiss and Best Female Performance and a Teen Choice Award for best fight scene for her battle with Bianca Lawson. Rolling Stone named her "the coolest co-ed" and put her on the cover of its April 12, 2001, issue. [9] She told Rolling Stone that she performed all her own dancing in the film, except for some closeups of the feet. [9]

In David Mamet's State and Main (2000), about a film shooting on location in a small town in Vermont, she played a teenage girl who seduces a film actor (Alec Baldwin) with a weakness for teen girls. Stiles also appeared opposite Stockard Channing in the dark art house film The Business of Strangers (2001) as a conniving, amoral secretary who exacts revenge on her boss. Channing was impressed by her co-star: "In addition to her talent, she has a quality that is almost feral, something that can make people uneasy. She has an effect on people." [10] Stiles also had a small role as Treadstone operative Nicolette "Nicky" Parsons in The Bourne Identity (2002), a role that was enlarged in The Bourne Supremacy (2004), then greatly expanded in The Bourne Ultimatum (2007).

Between the Bourne films, she appeared in Mona Lisa Smile (2003) as Joan, a student at Wellesley College in 1953, whose art professor (Julia Roberts) encourages her to pursue a career in law rather than become a wife and mother. Critic Stephen Holden called her one of cinema's "brightest young stars", [11] but the film met with generally unfavorable reviews. Stiles played a Wisconsin college student who is swept off her feet by a Danish prince, played by Luke Mably, in The Prince and Me (2004), directed by Martha Coolidge. Stiles told an interviewer that she was very similar to her character Paige Morgan. Critic Scott Foundas said she was "irrepressibly engaging" and the film was a "strange career choice for Stiles". [12] This echoed criticism in reviews of A Guy Thing (2003), a romantic comedy with Jason Lee and Selma Blair. Critic Dennis Harvey wrote that Stiles was "wasted" [13] and Holden called her "a serious actress from whom comedy does not seem to flow naturally". [14] In 2006, Stiles starred opposite her Hamlet co-star Liev Schreiber in The Omen, a remake of the 1976 horror film. [15] She returned to the Bourne series with a much larger role in The Bourne Ultimatum (2007), her highest-grossing film to date.

Stiles acted in Between Us (2012) with Taye Diggs, David Harbour, and Melissa George. Between Us is the screen adaptation of the off-Broadway play of the same name by Joe Hortua. [16] Stiles starred alongside David Cross and America Ferrera in the dark comedy It's a Disaster . [17] The film premiered at the 2012 Los Angeles Film Festival and was picked up by Oscilloscope Laboratories and received a limited release the next year. Stiles had a small but pivotal role as a reporter in the 2013 British-American film Closed Circuit . Stiles starred in the indie supernatural thriller Out of the Dark (2014) alongside Scott Speedman and Stephen Rea. [18]

In 2015, Stiles signed on to reprise her role as Nicky Parsons in Jason Bourne , the fifth installment of the Bourne franchise. [19] She also featured as Courtney, the wayward mother of Sophie Nélisse, in The Great Gilly Hopkins (2016). [20] In 2019, Stiles appeared in the movie Hustlers as the journalist, Elizabeth. The film was a box office success. [21]

Stiles's first theatrical roles were in works by author/composer John Moran with the group Ridge Theater in Manhattan's Lower East Side from 1993 to 1998. In the summer of 2002, she performed on stage in Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues , [22] and appeared as Viola, the lead role in Shakespeare in the Park's production of Twelfth Night with Jimmy Smits. [23]

In 2004, she made her West End stage debut opposite Aaron Eckhart in a revival of David Mamet's play Oleanna at the Garrick Theatre. [24] [25] She reprised the role of Carol in a 2009 production of Oleanna, directed by Doug Hughes and co-starring Bill Pullman at the Mark Taper Forum. [26] The production moved to Broadway's John Golden Theatre. [27]

Stiles was to play Jeannie in a production of Neil LaBute's Fat Pig directed by the playwright beginning in spring 2011, [28] but the show was postponed indefinitely. [29]

MTV profiled her in its Diary series in 2003, [31] and she was Punk'd by Ashton Kutcher at a Washington, D.C., museum in 2004. [32]

Stiles made her writing and directorial debut with Elle magazine's short Raving starring Zooey Deschanel. [33] It premiered at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival. [34]

In 2010, Stiles played a major role in 10 episodes of the Showtime series Dexter [35] [36] [37] [38] For this role, she received a nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress – Series, Miniseries or Television Film, [39] as well as a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series.

In 2012, the web series Blue premiered. It stars Stiles as a single mother with a 13-year-old son. She works at an office and also as a call girl to make ends meet on an otherwise meager income fighting to protect her son from the collision between her complicated past and tenuous present. [40] For her work on Blue, Stiles won two IAWTV Awards, in 2013 and 2014. [41] The actress during the recordings shared set with artists like Michelle Forbes, JC Gonzalez, and Uriah Shelton.

Stiles played Maisy-May in the Canadian Amazon Prime series The Lake . Maisy-May is the "picture-perfect" stepdaughter/stepsister who was given the family cottage by her stepfather, to the dismay of her stepbrother Justin. [42] [43] Season 1 premiered in summer 2022. [43]

[46] In 2010, she received a John Jay Award, an honorary award given annually to five alumni by the Columbia College Alumni Association for professional achievements. [47]

Stiles has also worked for Habitat for Humanity, building housing in Costa Rica, [48] and has worked with Amnesty International to raise awareness of the harsh conditions of immigration detention of unaccompanied juveniles. In January 2004, Marie Claire featured Stiles's trip to see conditions at the Berks County Youth Center in Leesport, Pennsylvania. [49] [50]

Stiles is a former vegan, occasionally eating red meat. [51] She says she gave up veganism after she developed anemia and found it difficult to get proper nutrition while traveling. [51]

She has described herself as a feminist and wrote about the subject in The Guardian . [25]

She is a fan of baseball and the New York Mets. [52] She threw the ceremonial first pitch before their May 29, 2006 game. [53]
