LOS ANGELES — Julia Stiles is one of the most-searched names around Dancing With the Stars Season 35 as fans look up her age, film credits, and premiere-night performance.
The actress, known for early-2000s hits including 10 Things I Hate About You and Save the Last Dance, is competing with pro Ezra Sosa and opened the season with a high-energy tribute to Dolly Parton.
Age and career snapshot
Stiles was born on March 28, 1981, making her 45. She built a mainstream profile with teen and young-adult dramas before shifting into prestige television and selective film roles. Her DWTS debut has pulled a new generation back to those catalog titles in search trends.
DWTS Season 35
On premiere night Stiles performed a quickstep to Parton’s “9 to 5,” a choice she has said received approval connected to the late icon’s camp. Judges scored the routine in the upper tier of Night 2, and voting apps and text lines listed her among the active contestants.
For viewers still catching up: she is a film actress turned DWTS competitor—not a full-time reality personality—which helps explain the surge in “Julia Stiles movies” and “Julia Stiles age” searches alongside the live show.
