The actress Ashley Tisdale was born on July 2, 1985, in West Deal in Monmouth County, N.J. In the late 1990's Ashley appeared in episodes of the television series "Smart Guy," "7th Heaven," "Grounded For Life" and "Beverly Hills 90210." She is most known for her role as Maddie Fitzpatrick on "The Suite Life of Jack & Cody" and as the villainous Sharpay Evens on the Disney Channel Original movie "High School Musical." In 1997 at the age of 12 she sang at the White House, and she has appeared in over one hundred commercials in her career.
Ashley Tisdale's older sister Jennifer Tisdale had already blazed an acting trail by the time the young girl decided that performing was her passion as well. A relative of tele-business man Ron Popeil as well as the developer for Ginsu Knives, Ashley had an easiness in front of an audience that ran in her family, and she began making appearances on TV shows like 7th Heaven and Charmed when she was just a preteen. During this time, she also worked as a Ford model, building up a resumé that would surely leave her prepared for a serious career by the time she reached adulthood, but fame came knocking early for Tisdale, when she was cast in the Disney TV movie High School Musical. A chance to showcase both her charisma and her singing ability, the movie became a huge success that was wildly popular among kids and preteens, and the young actress signed on for the sequel while heading into the studio to record her first solo CD.
