Ashley Tisdale showed her talent to the world
by portraying the snobby, spoiled,
slightly evil Sharpay Evans in the High School Musical franchise,
a character that couldn’t be more different from
her kind and warm-hearted personality.
This wasn’t her first time working for the
Disney Channel. Previously, Ashley had
starred in three seasons of The Suite Life
as Maddie Fitzpatrick.
Further, Ashley has starred in the
made-for-abc movie Picture This! and
reappeared on the big screen in Aliens In The Attic.
Ashley has agreed on doing a HSM spin-off,
focusing on her character, Sharpay Evans,
which is planned to be released in the summer of 2011.
Other future projects contain the cheerleading
series Hellcats, and there are rumours of Ashley
starring in the comedy My first last time and
Holly, Jingles and Clyde.
Besides from being a gifted actress,
Ashley voices the Phineas and Ferb character Candace,
and has released two albums, Headstrong and Guilty Pleasure.

Vanessa Hudgens gives shape to brainiac Gabriella Montez
in the High School Musical franchise.

After High School Musical, she starred alongside Aly Michalka in Bandslam,
and portrays Lindy in Beastly, a movie that will be released in 2011.
She is bound to star in the movie Sucker Punch,
and will take on the role of Mimi in Rent on Broadway in August 2010.
Vanessa had also released two albums, V and Identified.
