HILARY DUFF - DUFF HAPPY TO HAVE SACRIFICED CHILDHOOD FOR CAREER

Former teen star HILARY DUFF doesn't regret missing out on her childhood, because she has gained the career that she has always wanted. The teenager has been working non-stop since she shot to fame at 13. Duff's big break came when she was offered the lead role in hit Disney kids show Lizzie Maguire and she went on to star in a string of successful movies and sold over 13 million records worldwide when she turned her hand to singing. The 19-year-old told British Cosmopolitan, "I do feel like I've missed out on some of that typical growing-up stuff, but then I can do a lot of things that most people my age never could. "And right now my friends are worrying about what to do in the future, while I've already got the career of my dreams."
