Good face time is whenyou're ready for your close-up in a big scene that's well lit withan ace cinematographer. But the lens is never going to love you ina mug-shot taken at dawn - when a girl never looks her best - by abored police photographer under police station fluorescent lights.Some girls just don't get it.</p><p>Like those starlets and heiresses in tabloid free fall in theHollywood Hills, Stiles is a child of the 1980s. But, in Tinseltownterms, she thinks of herself as more commuter than resident: a NewYork visitor, passing by the mayhem.</p><p>The rest of us could probably think of her in terms of what sheisn't. She's the law-abiding anti-Lindsay with the valid driver'slicence; the Paris without the police pursuits, the punctualityproblems or the potpourri of sad, little dogs.</p><p>"There are actresses of my age who stay away from all that anddo good work," she says. "But I think the 'bad' girls are beingsent mixed messages. They get so much attention that the badbehaviour is reinforced.</p><p>"I don't think you can ever play the odds and hope to win withthe tabloid media. The tabloids can fall in love with you, and thenthey fall out of love. It can only backfire on you and make it thatmuch harder for you to do your job. I've always tried to fly underthe media radar, not to get into any sort of bargaining situation,because it affects the way you can do your job.</p><p>"The more you know about an actor's personal life, and have asense of where they go clubbing, who they are dating and where theygo shopping, it's harder to believe them on the screen. I mean I doit, so I know it's true."</p><p>We're at Los Angeles's Four Seasons Hotel - with itsbreathtaking view of those troubled Hollywood Hills off to thenorth - and Stiles is in a good mood. She's chatty, animated andrelaxed and she has reason to be.</p><p>She's wearing jeans and a white blouse; her hair is pulled backstraight and she's not wearing a lot of make-up. She's tall,athletic and toned, her height and her weight wholesomelyproportionate. What's striking for a girl in her 20s, in this townin particular, is that she doesn't seem uncomfortable in her skinor in denial about the need to diet or exercise.</p></div><div class="pageprint" id="contentSwap2"><a name="contentSwap2"></a><p>"Listen, I'll never be a size zero," she says. "And all thedieting in the world wouldn't get me down to a size zero. But Icrave healthy food, I like to cook and I'm very interested in wherefood comes from. I come from a dance background so I need to beactive. But it's not an obsessive thing. It's more about what makesme feel healthy.</p><p>"I was a vegan for a while and I didn't do it because I wasdesperate to lose weight. It just sounded like good sense but itbecame a bit boring. Fortunately, I have a pretty good metabolismand I get a lot of exercise."</p><p>Her new film, <i>The Bourne Ultimatum</i>, marks a winningtrifecta for her: the part she's played in all three Bourne movieshas grown bigger and more textured in each film - <i>The BourneIdentity</i> in 2001 and <i>The Bourne Supremacy</i> in 2004.</p><p>And each film has done better at the box office and among thecritics than the previous one. As movie franchises go it's behavedlike a perfectly executed rocket launch: each part peeling off oncue. And, finally, this Bourne also marks, in lavish blockbusterstyle, Stiles's successful return to Hollywood after going back toNew York's Columbia University full-time to get her degree.</p><p>"It wasn't a complete break," Stiles says. "The academic year ispretty leisurely and I worked during vacation time. But in the backof my mind I feared that I might do my career some serious damageby being away, that I might lose what they call 'momentum'. As ayoung actor you're supposed to keep your name out there at allcosts. That's the way Hollywood thinks.</p><p>"But having <i>Bourne</i> two in the middle of it was so great.It was something familiar that paid well. After it did well,<i>Bourne</i> three got the go-ahead. It was nice to know I had oneproject to come back to. Jason Bourne got me my degree."</p><p><i>Bourne</i>'s success is particularly sweet. In salary termsshe's way ahead of where she left off. She was getting $US4million($5million) a film in 2002 and her rate now would be double that.Quite a nice "welcome back, Julia" from Hollywood.</p><p>When she took the role in 2001 - for the franchise's troubledfirst instalment that came out a year late - it hardly seemed likea big prize. The films' source material, a page-turning trilogy bythe late Robert Ludlum set in the Cold War, seemed dated. And therole of Nicky Parsons seemed a bit like a Bond girl settling for adesk job. And Matt Damon wasn't anyone's idea of an actionhero.</p></div><div class="pageprint" id="contentSwap3"><a name="contentSwap3"></a><p>"I totally lucked out with Bourne," she says. "It simply bearsout the idea that, if in doubt, go with the project that has thepeople you would most like to work with. That's pretty much what Idid with <i>Bourne</i>. But even with the first episode, when mypart was pretty small compared to how it grew, what I liked aboutit was that it was a different take on the whole spy thing."</p><p>If you look over Stiles's resume, at least from her first bigrole as a teenager who kills her mother in <i>Wicked</i> (1998),what's apparent is the quality of many of the genre films she hashad to do to pay her dues. Her teen flicks, such as <i>10 Things IHate About You</i>, had Shakespearean pedigrees and her big budget,popcorn movies had what one might call premium casts.</p><p>Her most unabashedly commercial film was a remake of the 1976child-from-hell horror classic, <i>The Omen</i>, last year. Stilesand revered young actor Liev Schreiber played the parents.</p><p>It might be one of the few times that the lead actors in abreathless romp about Satan and his son had worked together beforeon a well-intentioned Shakespeare update, a <i>Hamlet</i> (2000)set on Wall Street.</p><p>The same could probably be said of the way she has astutelyridden the <i>Bourne</i> franchise through three films. Initially,her role as CIA agent Nicky Parsons was a small one. But it endedup being crucial to the plot. Temperamentally, it's a perfect partfor Stiles. Parsons is written as athletic, analytical, thoughtfuland way more comfortable dressed casually than in couture.</p><p>Stiles, who gets a bad rap from fashionistas for being"style-challenged", was on the cover of a recent issue of<i>Cosmopolitan</i>. She looked fetching in a pink chiffonspaghetti-strap dress by Brazilian fashion house Maria Bonita Extraafter a bevy of "professionals" had their way.</p><p>"That's one reason why being at college was such a joy," shesays. "If you overdressed or wore too much make-up you just seem abit frivolous. And I was always being asked to justify my job,which was great. The rest of the country puts movie stars onpedestals and projects our dress-up fantasies onto them. Incollege, it's the flip side which was very cool."</p><p>In the <i>Cosmopolitan</i> article she's asked to complete amultiple-choice quiz, mainly harmless queries about wearing clogsand purse contents. It was also a bit of a fishing expedition.</p><p>One question asked her to complete the statement: "The one thingI wish I knew about relationships five years ago that I know now is. . . " Stiles was onto it: "Not to talk about them ininterviews."</p></div><div class="pageprint" id="contentSwap4"><a name="contentSwap4"></a><p>She was also asked to name her favourite co-star from hermovies. They included Matt Damon, Heath Ledger, Sean PatrickThomas, Mekhi Phifer, Josh Hartnett. She ignored those names andwrote in Forest Whitaker. She worked with Whitaker, best actor atthe Oscars this year for <i>The Last King Of Scotland</i>, on alittle-seen 2005 film called <i>A Little Trip To Heaven</i>.</p><p>Then there was Stiles's answer to the question, "The actress Iwould most like to work with is . . . " Stiles chose MichelleWilliams, who played Heath Ledger's wife in <i>BrokebackMountain</i>, and later married him. The Ledgers now have adaughter and live in Brooklyn, a short distance from Stiles in theMurray Hill section of Manhattan. But Stiles told S that she didn'tsee much of her co-star from 1999's <i>10 Things I Hate AboutYou</i>.</p><p>Based on <i>The Taming Of The Shrew</i>, she and Ledger playedlovers and, it seems, she did go out with a cast member. It wasanother of the leads, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who was about to takehis own sabbatical from acting and go to Columbia University. Hewasn't quite as diligent about his studies as Stiles and droppedout to concentrate on acting in 2004.</p><p>So who is she going out with now? She pretty much took thedating/clubbing/shopping questions off the table at the start ofthe interview. What we do know is this: there is a boyfriend, he'san artist in New York, they've been going out for two years.</p><p><i>Cosmo</i> couldn't glean any more, either. A question abouther wedding plans gave choices like "soon" and "in my 30s", but theconsumate private starlet wasn't buying into specifics.</p><p>"When the time is right," she wrote.</p><p><strong><i>The Bourne Ultimatum</i> opens on August30.</strong></p><cite>Source: The Sun-Herald</cite></div></BOD><div class="articleTools bottom"><script language="JavaScript1.1"></script><script language="JavaScript1.1"></script><script language="JavaScript1.1"></script></div><div class="adSpot-textBox"><h5>SPONSORED LINKS</h5> <div id="adSpot-textBox"></div></div></div><div id="wookie" style="display:none"><Asset><FFXNewsStory></FFXNewsStory><FTID>1187462065113-brisbanetimes.com.au</FTID><ArticleURL>http://brisbanetimes.com.au/news/film/julias-crafted-a-style-of-her-own/2007/08/19/1187462065113.html</ArticleURL><Destination>brisbanetimes.com.au</Destination><Source>The Sun-Herald</Source><PublicationDate>2007-08-20</PublicationDate><Headline>Julia's crafted a style of her own</Headline><Byline></Byline><WriteOff>She takes time off making blockbusters to finish her universitydegree.
