Tweens first embraced Ashley Tisdale as sweet babysitter Maddie on Disney Channel's The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. But it wasn't until she went snooty as super-snob, super-spoiled Sharpay Evans in High School Musical that Tisdale became a household name.

Discovered at a New Jersey mall at age 3, Tisdale got her start in commercials before starring in productions of Les Misérables and Annie. Then came Disney stardom with The Suite Life and High School Musical, which took Tisdale and her HSM costars Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens to the big screen with High School Musical 3.

After making a splash with her debut album Headstrong, Tisdale kissed goodbye to Sharpay and took on the world of cheerleading in the CW series Hellcats.
