Julia Stiles

The NYPR Archive Collections | Jan 1, 2000

Julia Stiles has probably not spent very much time alone in her life. She grew up in a Soho loft with not only her parents, brother and sister, but also her parents' busy pottery business. At the age of 11, she joined the LaMama experimental theater troupe. Recently a dorm at Columbia University has been her home, at least when she's not on a movie set, starring in films like Save the Last Dance, Hamlet, O, 10 Things I Hate About You, The Business of Strangers, State and Main and The Bourne Identity. Her idea of a retreat has been to go to Costa Rica with Habitat for Humanity to build houses for people there. Let's see what she's put in her Survival Kit for a period of enforced isolation.
