Biography: Hewitt seamlessly transitioned from cute kid to precocious teen to sexy leading lady, all in front of the camera. After a promising start on Kids Incorporated, where she showed off her singing chops, Hewitt appeared in a few small-screen duds before leaping to stardom on Party of Five. Although film parts followed (notably the horror hits I Know What You Did Last Summer, from 1997, and I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, from 1998) her Party spin-off, Time of Your Life, quickly fizzled. Hewitt shifted her focus to music in 2002 by releasing the pop album BareNaked, which peaked at No. 37 on the Billboard 200; it was her fourth U.S. release.
