Hilary Duff Pays Tribute To 'Lizzie McGuire' Producer
This announcement comes just a few days after Duff found out about the passing of Stan Rogow, who was the writer and Emmy-nominated producer of “Lizzie McGuire.”
“Writing this right now is bringing back so many distant memories of what feels like a completely different time..,” she began, adding, “One where I had absolutely no clue where I was heading or how I was getting there, but where I had that eagerness and blind optimism that accompanies youth and your first opportunities to step up.”
Duff continued, “You heavily cherish the people who first believe and see something in you, and for me, there was a very special person who fought for me to land a role that would change the entire course of my life… and I’m so very sad to hear of his passing today.”
He passed away at UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles at the age of 75.

Thanks for being ours and for being weird and princessy all in one glorious package!!!"
"Gosh I love you so much!" she continued. "To the best big and little sister there ever was! Happy 5 my little cherry bomb ! I sure hope the next 5 go by a little slower, all the cuddles, tickles, Taylor Swift, brainteasers, treats and trampoline bounces 4life my queen."
