Vanessa Hudgens facts

• Made it in her teens as Gabriella Montez in the Disney Channel's TV movie High School Musical and then in High School Musical 2.
• Nearly dropped by her label when nude photographs of her surfaced on the internet.
• Starred in High School Music 3 which was released in cinemas and took $42m in its opening weekend.

  Why we love Vanessa Hudgens

  The exotic looks Vanessa Hudgens sports almost daily, come from her distant, Native American roots and a mom who is an exotic blend of Filipino, Spanish and Chinese, and in no small part explain the appeal of an American singing sensation who wowed the world in Disney's daft High School Musical trilogy. Concurrent with this a solo singing career has spawned a string of hit pop albums and plenty of dough to sink into her love of extreme sports.
  And while Vanessa Hudgens doesn't say much in interviews – probably because she's terrified they're about to ask her about some nude photos which surfaced a few years back – she did once tell chinny chubster Jay Leno that her parents washed her mouth out with soap when she was four. She also revealed that she once auditioned for the role of the sexy Esmeralda in The Hunchback Of Notre Dame... only to land the role of Quasimodo.
  But for Vanessa Hudgens, the days of playing a persecuted French hunchback are over, as things are going swimmingly (to use the parlance of young people like Hudgens) for Vanessa. She appeared with The Rock in Journey 2 and she’ll also appear in Spring Breakers which sounds intriguing – her and Selena Gomez try to raise money for a spring break by robbing a restaurant. Good eh?
