Teenage superstar Miley Cyrus is the daughter of country musician Billy Ray Cyrus and his wife Leticia. She was born on 23rd November 1992 with the name Destiny Cyrus, but was given the nickname Miley by her friends because she was always smiling. Since then it's stuck, and Miley prefers it to her real name!
Miley began acting from an early age, starring in her dad's show "Doc" from the age of nine and in "Big Fish" starring Ewan McGregor and directed by legendary director Tim Burton.
At the age of 12 Miley auditioned for two roles on Disney's new show Hannah Montana - both for the lead role of Hannah Montana and also as the lead character's best friend. But Disney casting directors thought she was too young and too small for the role.
But Miley was detirmined that she wanted to star in the show and managed to get the Disney executives to give her another shot. In the end, the executives decided that with a bit of help Miley would be up to it, and cast her in the lead role! Later, they also cast Miley's real dad Billy Ray as her on-screen father in the show!
In the show, Miley stars as Miley Stewart, who has a secret life as international pop princess Hannah Montana. Only her family and two best friends know about Miley's secret double life!
Because of the Hannah Montana show, Miley Cyrus has risen from almost nobody to international stardom in just three years. Since starring in the Disney TV show, Miley has also starred in Disney Channel's TV movie "The Emporer's New School" and provided the voice of Penny in Disney's major new animated movie "Bolt." She also had a brief appearance in "High School Musical 2."
Miley Cyrus also starred in the recent Hannah Montana concert-movie "The Best Of Both Worlds" with the Jonas Brothers and she also performs as Hannah Montana at live events all around the world.
For the future, Miley has lots of acting projects under development. Some include a movie-length Hannah Montana film (based on the show's characters not the music) and a sequel to the 70s movie "Adventures in Babysitting" which is due out in 2010 starring another teen star Raven-Symone!
Now that Miley is growing up, she is keen to shake off her "family" image that she gained from "Hannah Montana" and take on more serious acting and music projects. Only time will tell whether Miley will make it as a long-term success! - 20761
