‘A Cinderella Story’ was released on July 16, 2004, and became an instant teen classic. This modern-day spin on ‘Cinderella’ featured teen queen Hilary Duff as Sam Montgomery. Sam falls for high school hotshot Austin Ames, and they get their happily ever after — in the pouring rain. Even after 17 years, ‘A Cinderella Story’ is still a beloved film amongst millennials.

When ‘A Cinderella Story’ came out, Hilary was one of the biggest teen stars in the world. She had just finished her run on Disney Channel as ‘Lizzie McGuire.’ She has appeared in a number of films and TV shows over the years and has released 3 albums since 2004. She notably starred as Kelsey on ‘Younger’ for 7 seasons. Hilary is set to star in the upcoming ‘How I Met Your Father’ after the ‘Lizzie McGuire’ revival fell through.

Hilary is married to Matthew Koma. They have two children together. She was previously married to Mike Comrie, and they share a son together.
