Duff went on to make guest appearances on Chicago Hope in February 2000,
and Boston Public, in 2001. In 2002 & 2003 Duff was cast in a recurring

Duff's big break came when she was cast as popular girl Summer Wheatley in

"Naturally, everyone thinks
siblings would be jealous over each other and fighting, but my dad
always said, 'If you ever fight over a part or cry over a part, you
guys have to come home!'" |
