Presentacion de Ingles (FINAL)

Born Destiny Hope Cyrus; November 23,

1992.She comes from Nashville, Tennessee, to Leticia Jean "Tish" (Finley) and country 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 smiled so often as a baby

Tish had two children from a previous

relationship: Trace and Brandi. Billy Ray

adopted Trace and Brandi when they were young. She has a half-brother, Christopher Cody, Billy Ray's son

from a brief relationship, born the

same year as Miley; he grew up with his mother in South Carolina. Tish and Billy Ray had two more children, Braison

and  Noah.

Cyrus grew up on a 500-acre (2.0 km2) farm in Franklin,

Tennessee, approximately an hour away from Nashville, and 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.

2001- 2005: Early Work

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, Miley grabbed his arm and told him:

At age 11, Cyrus learned about the casting for what became Hannah

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 the show's 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,

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

twelve.

2006- 2007: Hannah Montana and Meet

Miley CyrusHannah Montana became an instant hit and propelled Cyrus to  teen idol status, according to  The Daily Telegraph. The series premiered on March 26, 2006 to the largest audience ever for a Disney Channel show and soon became one of the highest-rated series on basic cable, elevating Miley's wealth and fame along with it. Time magazine reports that Cyrus's "phenomenal" 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.

2008- 2009:

Breakout, transitions and

film career launchAfter the end of the Best of Both Worlds Tour in January

2008, Walt Disney Pictures released Hannah

Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert, a 3D concert film of the tour, on

February 1, 2008 for what was expected to be a one-week run.

The film earned over $31 million  at the box-office and an

average of $42,000 per theater, twice the expected

total, convincing Disney executives to extend the

release for an indefinite run.

On July 22, 2008, Cyrus released her second studio album under her own

name, entitled Breakout. Miley said Breakout was inspired by "what's

been going on in my life in the past year.“ Cyrus co-wrote eight out of

twelve songs on the album. "Songwriting is what I really

want to do with my life forever, [...] I just hope this record showcases that,

more than anything, I'm a writer.

The album debuted at #1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart and its lead single, “7 things", peaked at number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100.She hosted the 2008 CMT Music Awards with her father in April and the 2008 Teen Choice Awards by herself in August.

Cyrus provided the voice of Penny in the 2008 computer-animated film Bolt, which was released on November 21, 2008 to critical acclaim. Cyrus also co-wrote and recorded

the song “I Thought I Lost You" as a duet with John Travolta for the film, for which she received a Golden Globe

nomination.

In September 2009, she participated in

the charity single “Just Stand Up!" in support

of the anti-cancer campaign Stand Up to Cancer and in the City

of Hope Benefit Concert in support of cancer

research and training programs. She also became involved in Disney’s Friends For

Change, an environmentalist group

, for which she recorded the charity single “Send It On" along with several

other Disney Channel stars.

Miley had already begun transitioning to a more grown-up image in late

2008, when her representatives negotiated a deal for novelist Nicholas

Sparks to write the screenplay and novel basis for a film that would serve as a star vehicle for Cyrus

by introducing her to audiences older than the

young fans she had gained through Hannah Montana. It was important to Cyrus

that she not be type cast as a singer: "I didn't

want to be a singer in another film. I don't want to do that anymore. You have no idea how many musicals show up on my

door. I want to do something a little more

serious”..

2010–present: Can't Be Tamed and focus on film careerHer third studio album, Can ‘t

Be Tamed, was released on June 21, 2010. The album's first single is the title track, “Cant Be Tamed". The single was released for sale on May 18,

2010 and entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number eight. Cyrus's

costumes and dances while promoting Can't Be

Tamed were also considerably more provocative than previous performances, arousing media

criticism.

As of December 2010, Miley is set to star in two more films, LOL: Laughing Out

Loud and So Undercover. In LOL, a remake of a 2008 French teen comedy, Miley plays "a daughter who is involved with all the wrong kids, doing drugs, failing school, but [whose] mother has her on this perfect pedestal" and

says "[She] just fell in love with the story.” Miley's character loses her virginity,

smokes cannabis, gets wasted and kisses two girlfriends on the lips. She will also star in So

Undercover, an action comedy film. Cyrus will play the part of "a tough,

street-smart private eye hired by the FBI to go undercover in a college

sorority.” She will learn street fighting for the role. Cyrus hosted 

SNL on March 5, where she performed in several sketches. She

also sang a brief song about her several controversies, such as the

bong incident, the photo of her friend and she eating a Twizzler, and the "pole dance" on a hotel pole at the Teen Choice Awards, stating "I'm

sorry that I'm not perfect.“
