True to character

Actor-director grateful ‘10 Things I Hate About You’ still holds meaning for many 25 years after film’s release

“I was a 17-year-old girl, auditioning for romantic comedies and commercials and TV shows and always being told, ‘You’re too serious.’ It was the first time that I had read a character in a teenage romantic comedy that spoke to me.” — Julia Stiles on “10 Things I Hate About You”
