What Movies and TV Shows Has Hilary Duff Been In?

26 Movies (and TV Shows) Every True Hilary Duff Fan Should See Before the Lizzie McGuire Reboot

Sep 18 2019

If news of the Lizzie McGuire reboot hasn't given you a whole new level of appreciation for Hilary Duff, we don't know what will. In her 20 year career, she's played everything from our childhood hero Lizzie McGuire (in both the TV series and movie) to a real-life Cinderella in A Cinderella Story, as well as an ambitious book editor in Younger. And we haven't even mentioned her many music albums yet ("Metamorphosis" is the ultimate throwback!).

Over the years, Duff has made cameos and guest appearances in almost every TV show imaginable, such as Gossip Girl, The Chase, Chicago Hope, American Dreams, Frasier and Joan of Arcadia. She's even starred on Ghost Whisperer, Law & Order (in the US), Community, Dora The Explorer and Two and a Half Men But it's the roles that see her take the lead (like Lizzie McGuire), where she really shines. With a knack for choosing productions that are just the right amount of light-hearted and feel good, in our books, Duff can do no wrong.

Though filming for the Lizzie McGuire is yet to begin, the reboot will revolve around Lizzie as a 30-year-old millennial navigating life in New York City. While we wait for the UK release date, we're ticking every other Duff movie and TV show off our list (and listening to all her biggest musical hits). Scroll through to find her full filmography ahead.
