I. INTRODUCTION
Born on November 23, 1992, in Franklin, Tennessee,
famed actress/singer Miley Cyrus is the daughter of country star
Billy Ray Cyrus. She began acting at a young age, appearing on
her father's television series, Doc, and in Tim Burton's Big Fish. In
2004, Cyrus landed the starring role on Disney's hit show Hannah
Montana. Since then, she's starred in films like The Last Song
(2010); released several successful albums, including Breakout
(2008), Can't Be Tamed (2010) and Bangerz (2013); and become
known for hits like "Party in the U.S.A." and "We Can't Stop."
II. LIVE STORY
In 2008, Cyrus released her second album Breakout,
which featured the successful track "7 Things", and launched her
film career as the voice actress in the animated film Bolt. In 2009,
Cyrus starred in the feature film Hannah Montana: The Movie; its
soundtrack produced the hit single "The Climb". Cyrus developed
a maturing image with the EP The Time of Our Lives (2009),
which featured the successful track "Party in the U.S.A.". The
transition continued with her third album Can't Be Tamed (2010);
however, it made little commercial impact and became the lowest-
selling record of her career. Later that year, Cyrus starred in the
coming-of-age film The Last Song. During its production, she was
involved in an on-again, off-again relationship with her co-star
Liam Hemsworth; the couple ultimately separated after ending
their year-long engagement in 2013. Cyrus focused on her acting
career with several television and film appearances throughout
2011 and 2012. Cyrus later signed a recording contract with RCA
Records, and generated controversy by cultivating a sexually
explicit public image while promoting her fourth studio album
Bangerz (2013). Its singles "We Can't Stop" and "Wrecking Ball"
were promoted with controversial music videos; the latter became
her first number-one hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Cyrus has
had five non-consecutive number-one albums on the U.S.
Billboard 200, two of which are soundtracks credited to her titular
character Hannah Montana, and has earned numerous awards and
nominations. In 2010, Cyrus ranked number thirteen on Forbes'
Celebrity 100, and was named the "Most Charted Teenager" in the
2011 Guinness World Records with twenty-nine Billboard Hot 100
entries as of November 2009.[1][2] In 2013, she was declared
"Artist of the Year" by MTV
A. Life and Carrier
1992–2005: Destiny Hope Cyrus was born on
November 23, 1992, in Franklin, Tennessee, a suburb of Nashville,
to Letitia Jean "Tish" Finley Cyrus and country singer Billy Ray
Cyrus. She grew up on a 500-acre (2.0 km2) farm in Franklin. Her
name was derived from her parents' belief that she would
accomplish great things, and she was given the nickname
"Smiley", later shortened to "Miley", because she often smiled as
an infant. She officially changed her name to Miley Ray Cyrus in
2008; her middle name honors her paternal grandfather,
Democratic politician Ronald Ray Cyrus, to whom she remained
close until his death in 2006. Against the advice of her father's
record company, Cyrus's parents secretly married a year after her
birth on December 28, 1993. They had two more children together,
son Braison and daughter Noah. Cyrus has two elder maternal half-
siblings, Trace and Brandi, and an elder paternal half-brother
named Christopher. Christopher grew up with his mother Kristin
Luckey in South Carolina. Three of her siblings also eventually
entered the entertainment business; Trace as a vocalist and guitarist
for the electronic pop band Metro Station, Noah as an actress, and
Brandi as a guitarist. Cyrus's godmother is entertainer Dolly
Parton. Cyrus attended Heritage Elementary School. She was
raised Christian and was baptized in a Southern Baptist church
prior to moving to Hollywood in 2005. She attended church
regularly while growing up and wore a purity ring. In 2001, when
Cyrus was eight, she and her family moved to Toronto, Canada
while her father filmed the television series Doc. After Billy Ray
took her to see a 2001 Mirvish production of Mamma Mia! at the
Royal Alexandra Theatre, Cyrus grabbed his arm and told him,
"This is what I want to do, daddy. I want to be an actress." She
began taking singing and acting classes at the Armstrong Acting
 studio in Toronto. In her first role, Cyrus played a girl
named Kylie on Doc. In 2003, Cyrus was credited under her birth
name for her role as "Young Ruthie" in Tim Burton's Big Fish
During this time, she also auditioned with Taylor Lautner for the
feature film The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D and
it came down to her and another actress, but Cyrus started doing
Hannah Montana instead.

2006: Breakthrough with Hannah Montana. At age 11,
Cyrus learned of the casting for what became Hannah Montana, a
Disney Channel children's television series about a schoolgirl with
a secret double life as a teen pop star. Cyrus sent in a tape
auditioning for its best friend role, but received a call asking her to
audition for the lead, Chloe Stewart. After sending in a new tape
and flying to Hollywood for further auditions, Cyrus was told that
she was too young and too small for the part. However, the series'
producers invited her for further auditions in light of her
persistence and her singing and acting abilities. The following
year, Cyrus received the lead position, renamed Miley Stewart
after herself. Hannah Montana premiered on March 24, 2006, to
the largest audience for a Disney Channel program, and quickly
ranked among the highest-rated series on basic cable, elevating
Cyrus' wealth and fame. Its instant success helped propel Cyrus to
teen idol status. Time magazine reports that Cyrus's
"phenom[enal]" success is due partially to her talent and partially
to "Disney learning to use its vast, multimedia holdings" and
market Cyrus and Hannah Montana appropriately. Cyrus
eventually became the first artist to have deals in television, film,
consumer products, and music within The Walt Disney Company.
As Cyrus' career flourished, Cyrus's mother made several
important decisions regarding her daughter's representation. She
signed Cyrus with Mitchell Gossett, director of the youth division
at Cunningham Escott Slevin Doherty. He is credited with
"discovering" her after arranging her auditions for Hannah
Montana On the recommendation of Cyrus' godmother, country
singer Dolly Parton, Cyrus's mother signed Cyrus with Jason
Morey of Morey Management Group for her music career because
of their "good morals" that are "not always the case in this
business". Franke Swertlow of The Hollywood Reporter described
Parton's advice as "the best advice [Tish] could [have gotten] on
who should rep her daughter." Cyrus's mother also recruited
Cyrus's father's business manager to manage her daughter's
finances. Cyrus's mother continued to co-manage and produce
many of Cyrus's career decisions. For her education, Cyrus
enrolled at Options for Youth Charter Schools and studied with a
private tutor on the set of her television show. The theme song for
Hannah Montana, "The Best of Both Worlds", was released on
March 28, 2006. The track is credited to "Hannah Montana", the
titular pop star that Cyrus portrays. As with other songs credited to
Montana, Cyrus typically dressed as the character when
performing the song live. It became Cyrus' first charting song,
debuting at number 92 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song also
had success in countries such as the United Kingdom and Ireland,
where it peaked at number 43 and 17, respectively. Dressed as
Hannah Montana, Cyrus opened for The Cheetah Girls on twenty
dates of their The Party's Just Begun Tour, beginning on
September 15, 2006. On October 24, Walt Disney Records
released the first Hannah Montana soundtrack. Of the nine tracks
on the soundtrack performed by Cyrus, eight were credited to
"Hannah Montana" and one, a duet with her father titled "I Learned
from You", was credited to Cyrus as herself. Cyrus's first release
under her own name had been a cover of James Baskett's "Zip-a-
Dee-Doo-Dah", released on April 4, 2006, on the fourth edition of
DisneyMania. The soundtrack debuted at number one on the U.S.
Billboard 200 with first week sales of 281,000 copies. The album
continued to top the chart during its second week, and has sold
over 3.7 million copies worldwide. During this time period, Cyrus
also released the song "Ready, Set, Don't Go", a collaboration with
her father. It became her first Top 40 hit credited as herself,
peaking at number 37 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also became her
first Top 10 hit on the Hot Country Songs chart, peaking at number
4.
Following the release of Can't Be Tamed, Cyrus
confirmed she would be taking a break from her music career,
opting rather to focus on acting. She commented, "I've not taken,
like, acting lessons or anything, but it doesn't mean I don't need to
because I'm sure I do ... I'm probably going to go book an acting
coach." She later confirmed she would not be going to college for
the time being, stating that "[she is] a firm believer that you can go
back at any age you want" and "[had] worked hard to get to where
[she is] now, and [wants] to enjoy it while it lasts."Cyrus hosted
Saturday Night Live on March 5, 2011, where she performed in
several sketches. She later made an appearance on the MTV series

decided to call off their engagement; ending their four-year
relationship. In September, she was ranked no. 18 in Billboard's
