She is best known for her portrayal of Gabriella Montez in the Disney Channel hit “High School Musical” and its accompanying soundtrack album. Since then, she has had a successful career as both a musician and an actress.

Early Life and Career Beginnings: Vanessa Anne Hudgens was born on December 14, 1988 in Salina, California. Her mother, Gina (née Guangco), was an office worker and her father, Gregory Hudgens, was a firefighter. She grew up in various locations along the west coast of the United States, from southern California to Oregon. Her younger sister, Stella, is also an actress. Hudgens is of Filipino descent through her mother and Irish, French and Native American ancestry through her father.

From a young age, Hudgens was drawn to acting. In 1998, when she was ten, she began appearing in local musical theater productions, including productions of shows such as Carousel, The Wizard of Oz, The King and I, The Music Man, and Cinderella “. A few years later, she attempted to make the switch to television and began auditioning for various television shows and commercials. After filming her first commercial, her family moved to Los Angeles to better support her career. She briefly attended Orange County High School of the Arts, but eventually graduated with the help of home schooling and tutoring.

Career: Hudgens landed her first professional acting role when she played the role of Tiffany in an episode of the television series Still Standing. She then had a guest role in an episode of Robbery Homicide Division before making her film debut in the film Thirteen (2003) in a supporting role. Hudgens’ career really took off in 2006 when she landed the female lead role of Gabriella Montez in the Disney Channel Original Movie High School Musical, opposite Zac Efron and Ashley Tisdale. The film was a smash hit, drawing 7.7 million viewers when it first aired in the United States. The film showcased not only her acting skills, but also Hudgens’ singing skills. Several of the songs she recorded for the film’s soundtrack became commercial hits; notably her duet with Zac Efron, “Breaking Free”, reached #4 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Hudgens released her debut album V in September 2006 with the momentum of High School Musical. It debuted at number 24 on the US Billboard 200 chart and sold over 34,000 copies in its first week. The album has since been certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.

In 2007, Hudgens reprized the role of Gabriella in the sequel High School Musical 2, which premiered in August of that year. This film was even more successful than the first, reaching over 17.2 million viewers in the United States on the night of its premiere. Those numbers make it the most-watched Disney Channel Original Movie of all time. Shortly after the film, Hudgens released her second studio album, Identified, in July 2008. Although the album debuted at number 23 on the Billboard 200, it was considered a commercial failure and she subsequently parted ways with her record label, Hollywood Records. In October 2008, Hudgens reprized the role of Gabriella in the third film in the High School Musical series, High School Musical 3: Senior Year (2008). This film is the only one of the three films in the franchise to open in theaters and ranked #1 at the North American box office in its first weekend. Grossing $42 million in its opening weekend alone, the film broke the record for the biggest opening musical hit previously held by the film Mamma Mia! Ultimately, the film grossed $252 million worldwide, making it a resounding success.

After the High School Musical series, Hudgens took a sabbatical from her musical career to focus on acting. She subsequently starred in such films as the musical comedy Bandslam (2009), the film Beastly (2011) based on a novel by Alex Flinn, the action film Sucker Punch (2011) directed by Zack Snyder, “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island” (2012) with fellow actors Dwayne Johnson and Josh Hutcherson; Spring Breakers, starring former Disney star Selena Gomez; Gimme Shelter (2013), directed by Ron Krauss; The Frozen Ground (2013); “Dog Days” (2018); The Princess Switch (2018); Second Act (2018); The Knight Before Christmas (2019), on which she also served as executive producer; and the film Bad Boys for Life (2020), part of the Bad Boys franchise.
