She began her foray into film by providing the voice of "Penny" in the animated filmBolt(2008). Cyrus earned a nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song for her performance ofBolt's theme song, "I Thought I Lost You". She also reprised her role as Miley Stewart/Hannah Montana inHannah Montana: The Movie (2009). TheHannah Montana: The Movie' soundtrack introduced her to new audiences within country and adult contemporary markets. She began to cultivate an adult image in 2009 with the release ofThe Time of Our Lives(2009), an extended play which presented a more mainstream pop sound, and by filmingThe Last Song(2010), a coming-of-age drama film. The former included Cyrus's best-selling single, "Party in the U.S.A." (2009). A studio album titledCan't Be Tamed was released in 2010 and presents a new dance-pop sound. The music video and lyrics of the album's lead single, "Can't Be Tamed", portrays a more sexualized image for the entertainer. Cyrus ranked number thirteen onForbes' [4] [5] 2010 Celebrity 100. In April 2011, Cyrus was named the 64th hottest woman in the world onMaxim's Hot 100. In May 2011, Cyrus was also named the 89th sexiest woman in the world on FHM's 100 Sexiest Women in the [6] world. For the 2011 Guinness book of world records, she was named the“Most Charted Teenager”following her [7] 29th USBillboardHot 100 chart entry on November 7, 2009 with“Party in the USA.”

Early life [8] Cyrus was born on November 23, 1992 in Nashville, Tennessee to Letitia Jean "Tish" (n e Finley) and country [9] [10] singer Billy Ray Cyrus. Her parents named her Destiny Hope because they believed that she would accomplish great things with her life. They gave her the nickname "Smiley", which was later shortened to "Miley", because she [11] smiled so often as a baby. Cyrus suffers from a mild heart condition causing tachycardia which, though not [12] dangerous, is often bothersome. [13] Against the wishes of her father's record company, Cyrus's parents secretly married a year after Cyrus's birth on [10] [14] December 28, 1993. Tish had two children from a previous relationship: Trace and Brandi. Billy Ray adopted [15] Trace and Brandi when they were young. She has a half-brother, Christopher Cody, Billy Ray's son from a brief [13] relationship, born the same year as Miley; he grew up with his mother in South Carolina. Tish and Billy Ray had [16] two more children, Braison and Noah. Cyrus's godmother is entertainer Dolly Parton. Cyrus was very close to her [17] paternal grandfather, Democratic politician Ronald Ray Cyrus. Cyrus has paid her grandfather several tributes [18] since his death in 2006, including eventually changing her middle name to "Ray". According to Cyrus's father, "A lot of people say Miley changed her name to Miley Ray because of Billy Ray, but that's not true. She did that in [12] honor of my dad, because the two of them just loved each other to pieces." 2 Cyrus grew up on a 500-acre (2.0akm ) farm in Franklin, Tennessee, approximately an [19] hour away from Nashville, and attended [20] 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 [21] purity ring. Several of Cyrus's siblings also eventually entered the entertainment business: Trace became a vocalist and guitarist for the electronic pop band Metro [22] Station, Noah became an actress, and [23] Brandi became a guitarist.

Career

2001–05: Career beginnings In 2001, when Cyrus was eight, she and her family moved to Toronto, Canada while her father filmed the television [24] seriesDoc. Cyrus said watching her father film the show inspired her to pursue acting. After Billy Ray took her to see a 2001 Mirvish production ofMamma Mia!at the Royal Alexandra Theatre, Cyrus grabbed his arm and told him, [25] "This is what I want to do, daddy. I want to be an actress." She began taking singing and acting classes at the [26] [11] Armstrong Acting Studio in Toronto. In her first role, Cyrus played a girl named Kylie onDoc. In 2003, Cyrus [27] was credited under her birth name for her role as "Young Ruthie" in Tim Burton'sBig Fish. At age 11, Cyrus learned about the casting for what becameHannah Montana, a Disney Channel children's television series about a school girl with a secret double life as a teen pop star. Cyrus sent in a tape auditioning for [1] the show's best friend role, but received a call asking her to audition for the lead, "Chloe Stewart". After sending in [28] a new tape and flying to Hollywood for further auditions, Cyrus was told that she was too young and too small for [28] [29] the part. However, her persistence and ability to sing in addition to act led the show's producers to invite her back for further auditions. Cyrus eventually received the lead, renamed "Miley Stewart" after herself, at the age of [28] twelve. During this time, she also auditioned with Taylor Lautner for the feature filmThe Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-Dand it came down to her and another actress, but Cyrus started doingHannah Montana [30] instead. As Cyrus's career took off, Tish Cyrus made several critical decisions regarding her daughter's representation. She signed Cyrus with Mitchell Gossett, director of the youth division at Cunningham Escott Slevin Doherty. Gossett, who specializes in creating child stars, had arranged for Cyrus's auditions for Hannah Montana and is credited with [31] [32] "discovering" her. For Cyrus's music career, Tish followed the advice of Dolly Parton, Cyrus's godmother and a singer herself, and signed Cyrus with Jason Morey of Morey Management Group. "Dolly said the Moreys are people you can trust around your daughter," Tish Cyrus recalls, "and she said they have good morals, which is not [33] always the case in this business." According to trade magazineThe Hollywood Reporter, Parton's advice was "the [33] best advice [Tish] could [have gotten] on who should rep her daughter." Tish also recruited Billy Ray's business manager to manage her daughter's finances. Tish herself continues to co-manage or produce many of Cyrus's career [33] [34] decisions. For her education, Cyrus enrolled at Options for Youth Charter Schools and studied with a private [35] tutor on the set of her television show.
