Fictional Pop Star
- Born: 2006
- Birthplace: Television
- Best Known As: Double-life-leading pop star teen
Hannah Montana is the title character of a popular TV show which
debuted on the Disney Channel in March of 2006. Hannah is a famous pop
music star who secretly leads a "normal" life as a mildly nerdy Malibu
teenager named Miley Stewart, who suffers all the usual complications
that come with hiding a famous alter ego. The show created a popular
confusion of Hannah Montana with Miley
Cyrus, the actress who plays her. (Hannah's father and manager, a
former country music star, was played by Cyrus's real-life father and
manager, and former country music star, Billy Ray Cyrus.) The show was
an immediate hit and led to a nationwide "Hannah Montana" music tour in
2007, with Miley Cyrus performing as Hannah. The album Hannah Montana
was released in 2006, with Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus
following in 2007.
Hannah Montana is sometimes compared to another Disney show
for teens, Lizzie McGuire, which made a star of teen actress Hilary
Duff... Country star Dolly
Parton has appeared on the show as Hannah's Aunt Dolly... Hannah
Montana is no relation to NFL quarterback Joe
Montana.
