Behind the Scenes: Julia Stiles and the Making of '10 Things I Hate About You'
The 1999 teen film '10 Things I Hate About You' has become a defining piece of late-1990s pop culture, largely thanks to Julia Stiles’ portrayal of the independent and intellectual Kat Stratford. Filmed at Tacoma’s Stadium High School, whose architecture resembles a French Renaissance castle, the setting reinforced the movie's modern Shakespearean theme. One memorable scene, where Kat recites the '10 Things' poem, featured genuine tears from Stiles captured in a single take. Another iconic moment, her table dance to Notorious B.I.G.'s 'Hypnotize,' involved Stiles practicing her unpolished 'drunk dancing' to ensure authenticity. The cast, including Heath Ledger, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Larisa Oleynik, built a close-knit camaraderie by staying together in a local hotel, which translated into onscreen chemistry. Stiles’ wardrobe and style, including mid-rise khakis, platform sandals, and minimal makeup, reflected the era’s alternative teen fashion. Kat Stratford’s character challenged traditional gender norms by reading 'The Bell Jar' and listening to riot grrrl music, standing out from typical teen film stereotypes. Released on March 31, 1999, the film earned $53.5 million, received positive critical reviews, and helped launch the careers of its young cast. Its lasting impact has solidified its status as a cult classic and one of the greatest romantic comedies of its time.
