Hilary Duff Talks Reinventing Her Brand
Quote:
“Lizzie McGuire” is long gone. Her last concert tour was four years ago. Gone are her signature perfumes, though at least one fashion line lives on at DKNY.
Hilary Duff, Disney’s girl-next-door, is all grown up, newly married and carefully plotting her next career move. A showbiz savvy 23, she knows better than most that she needs to reinvent what Hilary Duff means to people.
“People aren’t just actors, singers or whatever these days,” she says. “I like being a brand.”
Brand Duff from 2001 until very recently was that of a squeaky-clean starlet, fashion conscious, living a generally tabloid-free life in a business in which such peers as Lindsay Lohan and Miley Cyrus can’t make the same claim.
“I worked really hard for my brand and have gotten to do amazing things, go to amazing places because of it.”
But the days when she could flit from “Lizzie McGuire” to “A Cinderella Story” to “Material Girls” have passed. As she pores over scripts and decides what to play, there’s more at stake with every single role.
“For a long time, I worried about my reputation and how people perceived me,” Duff says. “One thing I did when I was younger was not concern myself with the project I was picking. I was just having fun. The characters seem all the same because they kind of were — a very relatable girl. That worked for me at that time.
“But now that I’m older, and if not exactly struggling, at least trying to prove myself by taking on different roles, I have to pay much more attention to that and do things that are a departure from each other. I worry about getting stuck doing one thing again.”
It’s why she took on “War, Inc.” (2008), playing floozy pop star Yonica Babyyeah, and “According to Greta” (2009), where she was a troubled substance abuser. But “Greta” and not wanting to repeat herself kept Duff from “Renee,” the film about Renee Yohe, the Central Florida woman who inspired the To Write Love on Her Arms charity. Duff was offered the lead in that, a role that eventually went to Kat Dennings. The movie filmed in Orlando this past winter.
“I liked that ‘Renee’ project very much,” Duff says. “But I had done ‘Greta’ a couple of years ago, a very similar story of a girl with a drug problem, a girl who doesn’t fit in anywhere. Similar enough that I had to say I don’t want to go back to repeating myself.”
One thing the native Texan had never done was a seriously Southern role. That drew her to the film “Bloodworth,” a Southern Gothic tale adapted from a William Gay novel. “Bloodworth,” which also stars Kris Kristofferson, Val Kilmer and Reece Thompson, opens in a handful of cities this month.
“I don’t know much about Southern Gothic, but I read this script and the book, ‘Provinces of the Night’ that it’s based on and knew I wanted to try it, to be a part of this amazing cast. It’s about trust and betrayal and growing up in the worst circumstances. My character basically grew up in a brothel. I just put on those cowboy boots and those clothes and became Raven.”
Best of all, the role of sweet, rough-hewn and sexually frank Raven Halfacre might help Duff in her effort to remake her brand.
“One thing I knew this would do is help people view me in a different way.”
But what she’s trying to do would make her the exception to the rule, says longtime Hollywood producer (“Blaze,” “The Mighty Quinn”) turned film professor Dale Pollock. Jackie Cooper, who recently died, “reinvented himself as a director” after being a child star. Jodie Foster and Anna Paquin both made the leap as actors. But “the rule of thumb in the movie business is once a child star, always a child star.”
The Hilary Duff of 2011 is married to Pittsburgh Penguins hockey player Mike Comrie. The personalized line of fragrances are gone, but she’s become a writer of young adult fiction. Her second novel in the supernatural multiple-lives romance “Elixir” series comes out in this October.
There are movies to be made — she’s got an indie film she’s doing this fall and she’s attached to co-star in a planned new take on the lives of outlaws Bonnie and Clyde. And maybe there will be an album in her future.
“When I finished the last tour, I won’t say I fired everyone, but I took a step back from music. I wanted to focus more on my personal life, which I hadn’t done since I was a little kid — 10 ten years or more. But now I’ve got the itch again. So we’re just starting to get a new team together.
“With all of it, I’m taking my time more, these days, trying to make the best decisions possible.”

Hilary Duff looks springy and sweet as she helps kick off Sobe’s “Try Everything” challenge at Madison Square Park on Wednesday (May 25) in New York City.
The 23-year-old actress challenged fans to bowling matches in the park - but instead of a bowling ball, passersby had to use a melon!
“join me in madison square park and try out a few of Sobe’s 31 flavors, i’ll be there from 10am til 4pm. Dont miss out, it’s free! big day!!” Hil wrote on her Twitter account earlier in the day.
FYI: Hilary is wearing a pair of J Brand “811” mid-rise skinny jeans.

No, the bitch just looks good as hell. She has a nutrionist who is one of the best in Hollywood, she takes good care of her skin and workouts weekly (even though she really needs to get her ass back to the Dignity body for the new movie and album) She is going to be one of those ladies that gets sexier as she gets older, unlike some of her peers.

It is so hard to believe that her and Lolhan are almost the same age, Hilary is effortlessly stunning.
