"A Cinderella Story" is a modern take on a classic fairy-tale.

Sam (Hilary Duff) and Austin (Chad Michael Murray) form a relationship over instant messaging, but though the two attend the same Los Angeles school, they don't know each other's identities. And like the "Cinderella" fairy-tale, there are evil stepsisters, an evil stepmom, and even a ball.

In honor of the movie's 15th anniversary this July, here's what the cast of "A Cinderella Story" has been up to since 2004.
