Vanessa Hudgens

Vanessa Ann Hudgens was born in California on December 14, 1988. Her parents were Gina and Greg Hudgens, who immigrated to the United States several years before the birth of their daughter. The girl's roots are quite diverse: her father is of Indian and American descent (although he lived in Ireland before moving to the United States), and her mother is Chinese, Spanish and Filipino. Perhaps it was just such a bizarre combination of different nationalities in her genes that contributed to Vanessa's artistry and endowed her with such a peculiar beauty.

From an early age, the girl loved to try on various roles: she enthusiastically arranged theatrical performances for her parents, and after a while she began to perform in the local musical theater. It soon became clear that Vanessa is not only a born actress, but also an excellent vocalist. The girl was almost always given the leading roles, and she was so busy in the theater that she could not even go to school.

Therefore, her parents were engaged in the education of the girl in the “at home” format. Subsequently, Hudgens repeatedly thanked her mom and dad for the fact that they always supported her, helped her on the way to her goal, and did not impose their point of view on her. Partly due to this, from the age of eight she shone in musical productions of The King and I, Carousel, The Musician, Cinderella, The Wizards of Oz and many others.

When Vanessa matured a little and finally decided that she wanted to become a famous actress, her parents sold the house and moved with their daughter to Los Angeles. At first, the pretty girl managed to get several small roles in advertising videos, but soon the charming beauty was noticed and began to be invited to television shows. So Hudgens appeared in the projects "Hold on to the End", "Five Twins", "Slaughter Department".

Shooting in commercials and TV shows, of course, was not quite what the young actress dreamed of, but they gave her a lot of experience. To further enhance her professionalism, Vanessa began her acting classes. In parallel with this, she continued to stubbornly go to auditions, and in 2003 she finally made her debut in big cinema. The girl was given the role of Noel in a film called Thirteen. The picture told about the difficult life of adolescents, including about alcoholism, drug addiction and sex of minors. Such films are usually perceived ambiguously by the public, but become widely known.

Thanks to the hype surrounding Thirteen, Hudgens was noticed by other directors. All in the same year, when the girl was only 16 years old, she also starred in the films Harbinger of the Storm and The Garcia Brothers.

Vanessa got the next major role in 2006: a girl with a charming appearance and a wonderful voice played the main female character in the TV movie High School Musical. The main male role in the film was played by Zac Efron. The film proved popular with teenagers and young people, and in 2007 and 2008 the second and third parts of High School Musical were filmed, respectively.

The picture was a real breakthrough for the previously little-known Vanessa. Played by her, Gabriella Montez became one of the most popular characters in pop culture of the time. Journalists never stopped writing about the young actress, and fans of the film went crazy over her. Moreover, thanks to this picture, the girl received several nominations and awards: at the Teen Choice Awards, Kid's Choice Awards, ShoWest Convention.

Vanessa enjoyed singing and dancing so much that after the resounding success of High School Musical, she decided to pursue her solo music career. In 2006, the actress released her first full-length album called "V", and in 2008 - the disc "Identified". For these works, the girl was also awarded at the Teen Choice Awards (she was recognized as the winner in the category "Best Newcomer Singer").

In the second half of the 2000s, Hudgens decided to return to her acting career. At first, she starred in several films similar to her previous works: intended primarily for teenagers and young people. These are the projects "Terribly handsome", "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island", "Otvyaznye Vacation".

Obviously, the girl could not remain in such a role: otherwise, the status of an actress in films for teenagers would have been forever entrenched in her. Therefore, in 2013, she agreed to shoot in the drama thriller Frozen Land, where her stage partners were John Cusack and Nicolas Cage. In the same year, the action movie Machete Kills was released with Michelle Rodriguez and Danny Trejo in the lead roles, where Vanessa played a minor character.

In 2017, the TV series Powerless with Hudgens in the title role premiered. This series is set to be the first comedy sitcom set in the DC universe. Vanessa plays Emily Locke, the head of research and development at one of the subsidiaries of Batman's well-known company, Wayne Enterprises. This branch develops various products to improve the safety of ordinary people who find themselves victims of clashes between supervillains and superheroes.

Vanessa's height is only 155 cm. Smiling and petite, she always captivates those around her with her charisma, as can be seen from her numerous photos. One of her closest friends is Ashley Tisdale. The girls even got tattoos in honor of their strong friendship: Ashley - on the foot, with the inscription "jamais seule" (translated from French - "never alone"), and Hudgens - on the back of his hand, with the sacred sign "Om".

Like many modern celebrities, the girl maintains her own accounts on social networks. In particular, her official account is on Instagram and Twitter - as of the beginning of 2017, Vanessa made the title photo for this account on the poster of the Powerless series. Now it is on the shooting in this series that the girl spends most of her time.

In the late 2000s, hackers twice posted on the Internet intimate photos of the girl, intended for private viewing. Because of this, a big scandal erupted, but Vanessa had the strength to apologize to the fans and survive this unpleasant time.

During the filming of High School Musical, Hudgens dated her screen partner, Zac Efron. However, soon after the release of the third part of the film, Vanessa and Zak broke up. On the set of Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, the actress found her new lover: actor Josh Henderson. With this guy, Hudgens, alas, also did not reach the crown, and as of 2016 she was already dating another handsome star: Austin Butler became her chosen one.
