Miley Cyrus Detailed Biography
American actress Miley Cyrus, real name Destiny Hope Cyrus, was born on November
23, 1992, in Nashville, Tenn. Miley Cyrus is the daughter of country singer/actor
Billy Ray Cyrus, and her name comes from the shortened nickname for "Smiley".
In 2006, she landed the role of a regular girl and rock star on the Disney channel
original series "Hannah Montana." Also, her favorite sport is cheerleading.
The daughter of country-music superstar Billy Ray Cyrus, Miley Cyrus got her
start in the entertainment industry on an episode of her father's PAX TV medical
series Doc before appearing in Tim Burton's fantastical 2003 adventure Big Fish.
A fateful appearance as the character Hannah Montana in the Disney Channel
series The Suite Life of Zack and Cody followed in 2006, and her character proved
so popular that a spin-off series called Hannah Montana was launched shortly
thereafter. In the series, Miley Cyrus portrayed a fun-loving California teen
who just happens to be moonlighting as a world-famous pop star. Only Hannah's
family (which includes her real-life father on the series) and her two closest
friends, Lilly (Emily Osment) and Oliver (Mitchel Musso), know the truth about
Hannah's remarkable secret life.
