HILARY DUFF JOINS

DARREN STAR'S 'YOUNGER' SHOW

Lots of television news for you today, people! Starting with actress and adorable pop star  Hilary Duff who has taken a role in TV Land pilot comedy series YOUNGER coming from legendary Darren Star. Based on the novel by Pamela Redmond Satran, YOUNGER centers on Liza (Sutton Foster), a 40-something woman who reinvents herself and starts living a double life - one as a suburban mom and another as a 29-year old working girl in the city, after her husband leaves her and her child goes to college. Hilary Duff will play Kelsey, a smart ambitious 20-something who welcomes Liza to the publishing firm, treats her as a contemporary and makes a concerted effort to integrate her into her social life, having no idea that Liza is a decade older. Hilary has also announced her work on new music after scoring huge hits with STRANGER and WITH LOVE almost 5 years ago.
