Ashley Michelle Tisdale (born July 2, 1985) is an American actress, singer, and producer. During her childhood, she appeared in more than 100 TV advertisements and had roles in theatre and television shows. In 2004, she was cast as Maddie Fitzpatrick in Disney Channel's The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, and she rose to prominence in 2006 as Sharpay Evans in the television film High School Musical. The High School Musical series included three films and the spin-off Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure (2011). Tisdale's resultant popularity led her to sign a solo record deal with Warner Bros. Records in 2006. Her debut album Headstrong (2007) was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and includes the single "He Said She Said". Two years later, Tisdale released her second studio album, Guilty Pleasure. In 2013, she announced her intention to make music again and confirmed that she has been recording her third studio album.

Tisdale has a main voice role in the Disney Channel's three-time Emmy Award-winning animated series Phineas and Ferb (2007–present) as Candace Flynn. The cartoon quickly became television's most-watched animated series among kids and tweens and has received critical acclaim. Her other roles have included Savannah Monroe in The CW's television drama series Hellcats (2010–11), Jody Sanders in Scary Movie 5 (2013) and the title character of Hub Network's animated series Sabrina: Secrets of a Teenage Witch (2013–present), for which she received a Daytime Emmy Award nomination in 2014.

Besides acting and singing, Tisdale has ventured into producing. After forming a production company in 2008, she began working as the executive producer on films and television series including the ABC Family television film Picture This (2008), the unscripted series Miss Advised (2013), and the comedy series Young & Hungry (2014).

Life and career

1985–2003: Early life and career beginnings

Ashley Michelle Tisdale was born in Monmouth County, New Jersey, on July 2, 1985,[1][2] to Lisa Morris and contractor Michael Tisdale.[3] Her father is Christian and her mother is Jewish; she was raised with "a little bit of both" religions.[4] Tisdale's elder sister Jennifer is an actress and producer.[5] She is also related to businessman Ron Popeil through her maternal grandfather.[3] At the age of three, Tisdale met her manager, Bill Perlman, at a New Jersey mall. He sent her to various auditions for commercials, and she was placed in more than 100 national network TV advertisements as a child.[6] She began her theatrical career by appearing in Gypsy: A Musical Fable and The Sound of Music at Monmouth County's Jewish Community Center.[7]

Tisdale was eight years old when she was cast to play the part of Cosette in a national touring production of the musical Les Misérables, and only recalled taking a single singing lesson before landing the role. In 2007, Tisdale told Newsday, "When I was little, I saw the play Les Misérables on Broadway. I thought it was the most amazing thing I have ever seen, so I went to my manager and told him I wanted to be in it".[8] Tisdale toured for two years with Les Misérables[9] before landing a role in a touring production of Annie in Korea.[10] At the age of 12, Tisdale sang for President Bill Clinton during an event at the White House.[2] In the late 1990s and early 2000s, after moving to Los Angeles, California with her family,[3] Tisdale had minor roles in television shows including The Hughleys, Smart Guy, 7th Heaven, Boston Public, and Bette, appeared in the feature films A Bug's Life and Donnie Darko, and worked as a model for Ford Models.[11][6] For her role as Carol Prader in Boston Public, she received a 2000 Young Artist Award nomination for "Best Guest Performance In a TV drama".[12]

2004–06: High School Musical and rise to prominence

In 2004, Tisdale auditioned for the role of London Tipton in the Disney Channel television series The Suite Life of Zack & Cody.[11] Although she lost the role to Brenda Song, the producers of the series cast her in the recurring role of Maddie Fitzpatrick, a teenage candy-counter girl who works in a fancy hotel.[13] The series premiered in March 2005 and ended in September 2008.[13][14] For this role, she won her first award at the UK Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards for "Best TV Actress" in 2008.[15]

Although the producers of the Disney Channel Original Movie High School Musical did not initially consider her for the role of the popular, narcissistic high school student Sharpay Evans because of her "good-girl image" on The Suite Life, Tisdale was eventually cast in the 2006 film.[8] High School Musical became Disney Channel's most-watched movie that year, viewed by 7.7 million in its US premiere broadcast.[16] The soundtrack, on which Tisdale contributed vocals for several songs, sold more than 3.7 million copies in the US and became the top-selling album that year.[17] All of the songs featured on the soundtrack appeared on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[6] Tisdale subsequently became the first female artist to debut with two songs simultaneously on the Hot 100 chart, with "What I've Been Looking For" and "Bop to the Top".[6] High School Musical was nominated for six Primetime Emmy Awards, winning two.[18] To promote the film, Tisdale and the cast embarked on High School Musical: The Concert, a 40-city world tour, during 2006 and 2007.[8] On the set of High School Musical in 2006, Tisdale met dancer Jared Murillo and they were romantically involved from 2007 until March 2009.[19]

2007–09: Studio albums and film career

Soon after the release of High School Musical, Warner Bros. Records signed Tisdale for a recording contract in July 2006, and she began work on her debut album Headstrong.[20] In December 2006, producer J.R. Rotem confirmed he was producing and writing with her for the album.[21] In contrast to her songs in High School Musical, Tisdale opted to pursue a more mature sound with R&B, dance-pop, and hip hop influences while working on her debut.[22] To promote Headstrong, the song "Be Good to Me" was released to mainstream radio stations in the month preceding the album's release as its lead single.[23] Headstrong was released in February 2007 and debuted at number five on the Billboard 200, selling 64,000 copies in the first week.[24] The second single "He Said She Said" became Tisdale's most successful single in the US.[25][26] A documentary about the album's creation, along with a three-song music video trilogy, was featured on a music DVD titled There's Something About Ashley, released in November 2007.[27] Headstrong was eventually certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales exceeding 500,000 copies in the US.[28]

Work on High School Musical 2 began in 2007, and Tisdale was confirmed to return for the sequel as Sharpay Evans.[29] The film premiered on the Disney Channel in August 2007 to 17 million viewers and became the most-watched movie on cable television.[30] She received critical acclaim for her performance in the film,[31][32] which received two Primetime Emmy Awards nominations.[18] The soundtrack, featuring Tisdale, debuted at number one on the Billboard chart with sales of 615,000 copies, thus making it the fourth biggest week's sales for a soundtrack album.[33]

Disney Channel picked up the animated series Phineas and Ferb in 2006, and its producers began the process of casting.[30] Tisdale was given the voice role of Candace Flynn, a main character whose primary motivation is getting her brothers in trouble. The series' first episode premiered right after High School Musical 2 to 10 million viewers[30] and became the most-watched animated series among kids and tweens in 2010.[34] Phineas and Ferb has also received acclaim by critics[35][33] and has won three Primetime Emmy Awards.[36]

In 2008, Tisdale formed her own production company, naming it Blondie Girl Productions.[37][38] The television film Picture This marked Tisdale's debut as an executive producer and as an actress in a leading role; she played Mandy Gilbert, an unpopular and bullied teenager.[39] The film premiered on ABC Family in 2008 to 4.3 million viewers.[40]

Production of High School Musical 3: Senior Year began in late 2007 and Tisdale and the rest of the main cast were all confirmed to reprise their roles.[41] Walt Disney Pictures confirmed its intention to release the third and final film in theaters, instead of airing it on Disney Channel like the two previous movies.[41] Senior Year premiered in October 2008 and earned $42 million in its domestic opening weekend, the biggest opening for a musical film as of 2014,[42][43] and grossed a total of $255 million worldwide.[44] Her performance in the film earned her an MTV Movie Award for "Breakthrough Performance Female" in 2009.[45] She received acclaim from critics; Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly labeled her one of film's breakout stars,[46] and Mark Kermode said Tisdale was 2008's "best supporting actress".[47]

Tisdale began work on her second studio album Guilty Pleasure soon after she finished promoting High School Musical 3: Senior Year.[48] She said she had been involved in every aspect of the production of the album, from its "guitar-driven" sound to much of the writing process.[48] "It's Alright, It's OK" was the song chosen to precede the album as its lead single; it was released to mainstream radio and digital retailers in April 2009.[49] Guilty Pleasure was eventually released in June 2009.[50] Described by Tisdale as a "rocker and edgier" album,[49] it generated mixed reviews, with a 48% rating on Metacritic.[51] It debuted at number 12 on the Billboard 200, selling 25,000 copies in the first week; this was significantly lower than the first-week sales for her previous album.[52]

Tisdale starred in the 2009 20th Century Fox family film Aliens in the Attic as teenager Bethany Pearson.[53]. Although she is credited as one of the main characters, The New York Times said Tisdale "spends much of the film off screen".[54] The film was a minor success in box offices, grossing $60 million worldwide.[55]

From 2009 to 2011, she was in a relationship with director Scott Speer, who directed most of her music videos.[19] The two reconciled in 2012 but later ended their relationship.[56]

2010–12: Return to broadcast television and producing

Tisdale's return to broadcast television was announced in 2010. She starred in The CW drama series Hellcats as Savannah Monroe, the captain of a cheerleading team.[57] The series based its script on the book Cheer: Inside the Secret World of College Cheerleaders by journalist Kate Torgovnick; it was described by critics as "Election meets Bring It On".[58][59] TV Guide reported Tisdale was the best-paid cast member of the series, earning $30,000 per episode.[60] Hellcats ran for one season before being cancelled by The CW in 2011.[61]

She performed voice roles in animated series during 2010, including The Cleveland Show, Family Guy, and Glenn Martin, DDS.[62] In 2012, she made a guest appearance on an episode of Raising Hope and had a starring role in a CBS pilot produced by Louis C.K., which was not picked up by the channel.[62][63] Tisdale also portrayed a desirable and high-priced escort in a two-episode arc in the fifth season of FX's Sons of Anarchy.[64] In 2010, Disney Channel announced its intention to produce a High School Musical spin-off focusing on the life of Sharpay Evans in New York after she concluded high school.[65] Tisdale was confirmed to return as Evans for the spin-off, as well as serve as the executive producer of the project.[65] Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure premiered on Disney Channel to 5 million viewers in August 2011.[66]

Tisdale and her production company Blondie Girl Productions signed a multiyear production deal with Relativity Media in 2010 to create, develop, and produce films and television series.[37] Miss Advised was the first project on which Tisdale served as the executive producer without also performing in a starring role. A reality show that followed three single relationship experts, it debuted on Bravo in the United States and aired for one season in 2012.[67]

2013–present: Established career and marriage

Tisdale continued to work simultaneously as a producer, actress, and recording artist during 2013 and 2014. E! aired a television special produced by Tisdale named Inner Circle that focused on her friendship with actress Vanessa Hudgens in 2013.[68] The next year, Tisdale teamed again with Disney Channel on the film Cloud 9, on which she worked as an executive producer.[69] ABC Family's comedy series Young & Hungry is also produced by Tisdale; it stars Emily Osment and premiered in June 2014.[70] Future projects Tisdale and her production company have been working on include three digital series.[71]

In June 2012, The Weinstein Company announced that Tisdale was given the leading role in Dimension Films' Scary Movie 5.[72] Starring alongside Lindsay Lohan and Charlie Sheen, she portrayed Jody, a dancer in her late-20s. The film was released in April 2013,[73] and grossed $15 million on its first weekend, making it the lowest-grossing weekend for a Scary Movie film;[74] it was also panned by critics.[75][76] Tisdale had a recurring role in ABC's sitcom Super Fun Night as Jazmine, an engaged young woman,[77] and guest starred on CBS's The Crazy Ones in 2013.[78] That same year, Tisdale was cast to voice the title character of Hub Network's animated series Sabrina: Secrets of a Teenage Witch.[79] For her performance as Sabrina, Tisdale was nominated for "Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program" in the 41st Daytime Emmy Awards.[80] In 2014, Tisdale auditioned for TBS's workplace comedy series Buzzy's, on which she was eventually cast in a main role as Danny. The series is scheduled to premiere in 2015.[81]

Four years after the release of her second studio album Guilty Pleasure in 2009, Tisdale told MTV in April 2013 that she has been recording her third studio album since 2012.[82] She said she is inspired to make music again and that she hopes to "surprise people a little bit, [with] something different from what [she has] done before".[82][83] Tisdale announced to MTV that she opted to pursue a dance-pop sound on the album, which is expected to be released in 2014.[82] In December 2013, Tisdale teased on her Twitter account about a "special project" related to music.[84] She confirmed that the project was a single titled "You're Always Here", which was written about her late grandfather.[84] The song was eventually released independently to digital stores that same month.[85]

Tisdale began dating Christopher French, the lead singer of the band Annie Automatic, in December 2012.[86] They became engaged in August 2013[87] and married on September 8, 2014 in a small and private ceremony held in Santa Barbara, California.[86][88]

Artistry

Acting

Tisdale said that "with every character, [she] just [brings] something that [she] can make [her] own".[89] She is commonly offered young roles and she believes that is because of how young she looks.[90] At age 21, Tisdale portrayed the high school student Sharpay Evans in the television film High School Musical (2006);[8] she was 23 by the time the character was graduating in High School Musical 3: Senior Year (2008).[41] She began to accept more mature roles in 2012.[91] Her first adult roles were Emma Jean, a high-priced scort in the drama series Sons of Anarchy (2012), and Jody Sanders, a mother of three children in the feature film Scary Movie V (2013).[89] Tisdale claimed those two performances were important for her to "challenge herself" as an actress, because she finally began to leave her "comfort zone".[89] While discussing her portrayal of Logan Rawlings, a lesbian, on Young & Hungry (2014), she said she likes "to play different characters and push the envelope out of [her] own comfort level", but confessed she was nervous about the idea of playing a lesbian.[92][93]

Her acting performances have been met with praise by critics and film producers. Named as a "scene stealer" by many critics, she is often considered the "breakout star" in the productions in which she appears.[46][94] Jennifer Frey of The Washington Post says that Tisdale dominated High School Musical 2 (2007) despite not being the lead character,[32] while Andy Webster of The New York Times praised her acting style, mainly because of her "elastic face [that] lends itself to numerous reaction shots".[95] John Schultz, who directed the film Aliens in the Attic (2009) in which Tisdale starred, says she is a "big comedic actress" and has a "gift" for comedy.[96] The creator of the television series Hellcats (2010), Kevin Murphy, praised her acting skills and said Tisdale "can hold multiple colors in the same palette."[57]

Musical style

Tisdale's music, which is predominantly considered pop, has included ballads, dance pop, contemporary R&B, and rock influences.[48][97] Love and heartbreak are major themes in Tisdale's songs.[22] Her output makes use of electronic instruments such as drum machines, guitars, and pianos.[48] She defined her music career as a way to connect herself with the fans and to inspire them. [98][99] She claimed that, while Headstrong (2007) allowed her to "learn [herself] as an artist", with second album Guilty Pleasure (2009), she knew exactly what she wanted to do as an artist.[100]

She often co-writes the songs she records; for her debut album Headstrong, she had writing credits in four songs,[101] while she co-wrote five tracks for her album Guilty Pleasure.[102] The songs in which she has songwritting credits are often personal.[103][104] While discussing the songs she co-wrote for her second studio album, Tisdale said that "a lot of the songs on the album [were] about survival and staying strong" and that she wanted those songs to be "a statement and a reflection of what [she went] through over [2008] and how [she has] grown up."[103] She named the song "What If" as the most personal song she co-wrote for Guilty Pleasure and added writing it made her vulnerable.[99] In 2013, she discussed the death of her grandfather in the song "You're Always Here", which she wrote together with husband French.[104]

Both of her studio albums Headstrong and Guilty Pleasure received mixed reactions by critics. Heather Phares of AllMusic defined Tisdale's voice as "pleasant", but criticized her lack of "character" on her debut album Headstrong.[22] Phares later praised Tisdale's voice by saying her "chirpy, slightly saccharine voice is perfect".[105] Stephen Thomas Erlewine, also of AllMusic, said she is not "convincing" on her 2009 album Guilty Pleasure, but praised the overall quality of the songs on the album.[106] Keri Masson of Billboard stated that Tisdale "can deliver the radio-ready goods" with Guilty Pleasure, but criticized the album as a whole; he believed the album "doesn't give the singer room to comfortably let loose".[107] John Caramania of The New York Times praised the sound of the album and her voice; however, he believed the songs were not "radical" enough to attest to Tisdale's purpose of proving herself as an adult.[108]

During her career, Tisdale has taken influence from numerous musicians and actors. In her recording career, Tisdale names pop stars Michael Jackson,[109] Britney Spears,[22] Gwen Stefani,[22] Fergie,[2] Lady Gaga,[99] Pat Benatar,[100] Ashlee Simpson,[106] Pink,[100] Katy Perry,[2] and Kelly Clarkson,[97] as well as rock bands Led Zeppelin, The Used, AC/DC, My Chemical Romance, and Boys Like Girls as her influences.[96][97] Tisdale said that "almost anything" inspires her, but she is especially inspired by female pop singers overall.[100]

Her main acting influences are actors Shia LaBeouf,[90] Kate Hudson,[90] Jake Gyllenhaal[110] Johnny Depp,[110] Robin Williams<ref name="robin rebel">{{cite web|url=http://www.elpasotimes.com/ci_24292196/ashley-tisdale-switches-gears-voice-
