This is a comedy that takes place in the 1960's during turbulent times in the United States and a middle class suburban family is visited by a guest who turns their household completely upside down.
Miley Cyrus is an American singer and actress, who achieved early fame as the star of Disney's Hannah Montana series and went on to become a hugely successful pop artist.
Background
Ethnicity:
Miley Cyrus has English, along with smaller amounts of Scottish, Irish, Welsh, French, Dutch, German roots.
Miley Cyrus was born as Destiny Hope Cyrus on November 23, 1992, in Franklin, Tennessee, the United States, to a famous country-singer Billy Ray Cyrus and Leticia (Tish) Jean Finley. Her parents married the next year. She later changed her name to "Miley," the nickname she was given as a baby for often smiling. Against the advice of her father's record company, Cyrus's parents secretly married on December 28, 1993, a year after her birth. They had two more children together, son Braison and daughter Noah. From previous relationships, her mother has two other children, Brandi and Trace. Her father adopted them soon after the marriage. Her father's first child, Christopher Cody, was born in April 1992. He grew up with his mother, Kristin Luckey, in South Carolina.
Today, all of Cyrus's maternal siblings are established entertainers. Trace is a vocalist and guitarist for the electronic pop band Metro Station. Noah is an actress and, along with Braison, models, singers, and songwriters. Brandi was formerly a musician for the indie rock band Frank + Derol and is a professional DJ. Cyrus's godmother is entertainer Dolly Parton. Cyrus grew up on the family farm, near Nashville, Tennessee.
Education
Cyrus attended Heritage Elementary School in Williamson County, when her family lived in Thompson's Station, Tennessee. Later in 2001, when she was eight years old her family relocated to Toronto, Canada. It was while watching her father act in the television series Doc that she was inspired to take up acting professionally. To pursue the same, she started attending singing and acting classes at the Armstrong Acting Studio in Toronto.
Cyrus enrolled herself at Options for Youth Charter Schools. When she was hired for Hannah Montana, the family moved to Los Angeles, where she attended Options for Youth Charter Schools and studied with a private tutor on set.
Miley Cyrus was passionate about acting at a young age. She's first appeared on screen as a guest star in Doc before she was cast alongside Ewan McGregor and Helena Bonham-Carter in Tim Burton's Big Fish in 2003 - her first film role, as Young Ruthie was credited to Destiny Cyrus. The film was based on Daniel Wallace's novel of the same name.
Miley's mother Tish Cyrus became her manager and worked to acquire a team to build her career. Cyrus signed with Mitchell Gossett, director of the youth division at Cunningham Escott Slevin Doherty. Gossett is often credited with "discovering" Cyrus and played a key role in her auditioning for Hannah Montana. She later signed with Jason Morey of Morey Management Group to handle her music career, having been directed to him by Dolly Parton. She hired her father's finance manager as part of her team.
Cyrus auditioned for the Disney Channel television series Hannah Montana when she was eleven years old. She was initially rejected for being "too small, too young", but her persistence paid off. Miley got a callback and went on to win the part, playing an average teen who has a double life as a pop star. To accommodate filming, the entire family moved to Los Angeles, California, with Billy Ray joining his daughter on screen as her fictional dad-manager. The series was a big hit and launched the career of this talented newbie in the entertainment industry.
Disney Channel executive Gary Marsh described Miley as having the "everyday reliability of Hilary Duff and the stage presence of Shania Twain". Hannah Montana was an instant hit, going on to become cable's most-watched show for children aged six to 14 and propelling Miley to teen idol status. What's more, it became the perfect showcase for her singing talent, and its soundtrack also debuted at number one, eventually going triple platinum.
In 2007, Miley released a follow-up album, Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus, which sold 1.1 million copies. She also embarked on a 54-date Best of Both Worlds concert tour, performing as herself and her Hannah Montana character. The concert series sold out in record time, and the show was extended by 14 dates to help placate disappointed fans. Her successful 3-D concert film collected $31.3 million during its opening weekend in February 2008. The second season of Hannah Montana premiered in April 2007 and ran until October 2008.
In 2008, Miley released her second studio album, under her own name. Breakout included eight tracks co-written by the star, who was by now ready to move away from her Disney roots. The album debuted at number one position on the Billboard 200 in its very first week of release. It not only established her singing career but also gave a fairy-tale start to her songwriting career, as she co-wrote eight of the ten songs in the album.
Hannah Montana: The Movie scored at the box office, bringing in more than $79 million following its April 2009 release. The film was a financial success and so was its soundtrack which contained twelve songs performed by her. The following year she released the EP The Time of Our Lives, featuring the hit singles Party in the U.S.A. and When I Look at You, the former becoming the singer's most successful song to date, selling more than 5.38 million copies and earning a spot among the best-selling singles of all time.
In 2009 Cyrus provided a look into her life with the autobiography Miles to Go, featuring previously unseen photos, family stories and "a look at her inner circle of loved ones." In a statement around this time, Cyrus said of the book, "I am so excited to let fans in on how important my relationship with my family is to me. I hope to motivate mothers and daughters to build lifetimes of memories together and inspire kids around the world to live their dreams."
Cyrus's representatives got in touch with novelist Nicholas Sparks who had written a screenplay based on his novel The Last Song, with the idea that the coming of age drama would be a stepping stone for the starlet. It garnered a generally negative critical reaction, though it was a box office hit.
Cyrus further attempted to change her image with the release of her third studio album, Can't Be Tamed (2010). The album featured a more dance-oriented sound than her prior releases and caused a considerable amount of controversy because of its lyrical content and Cyrus' live performances. It sold 106,000 copies in its first week of release and became her first studio album not to top the Billboard 200 chart in the United States. Due to the controversy surrounding the release, the album's second, and final single, Who Owns My Heart was released solely in select European territories. Cyrus released her final soundtrack as Hannah Montana that October; it was a commercial failure.
In 2011, Cyrus hosted the Saturday Night Live and appeared on the MTV series Punk’d. The following year, she starred in a couple of movies including, Sex and the City 2, LOL, So Undercover and the 3D concert film, Justin Bieber: Never Say Never.
The year 2012 saw Cyrus recording a song with Bob Dylan, You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go. The song gained widespread acclaim from music critics. Subsequently, she was seen making a guest appearance in the CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men.
In 2013 Cyrus released the album Bangerz, which departed from her earlier work in its embrace of hip-hop influences and its frequently adult-themed lyrics. Cyrus sought to distance herself from her Hannah Montana persona by cutting her hair short and wearing edgy fashions, but no one was quite prepared for how far she would go: At the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) in August 2013, Cyrus stunned the audience with her raunchy performance of her single, We Can't Stop. Around this time, she appeared nude in the video of a follow-up single, Wrecking Ball. However, the swirling controversy seemed to bolster sales of Cyrus's fourth studio album, Bangerz, released in October 2013. Meanwhile, Wrecking Ball became her first United States single to top the pop charts and earned her Video of the Year honors at the 2014 VMAs. On October 2 MTV aired the documentary Miley: The Movement, which chronicled the recording of her fourth studio album Bangerz. On January 29, 2014, she played an acoustic concert show on MTV Unplugged, performing songs from Bangerz featuring a guest appearance by Madonna. It became the highest rated MTV Unplugged in the past decade with over 1.7 million streams. Cyrus was also featured in the Marc Jacobs spring 2014 ad campaign along with Natalie Westling and Esmerelda Seay Reynolds. She launched her controversial Bangerz Tour (2014) that year, which received a generally positive reception.
Named host of the 2015 VMAs, Cyrus concluded her efforts that evening by announcing the release of a new, free album. A departure from her pop roots, Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz explored themes of psychedelia as it wound through its 23 tracks. The album was written and produced primarily by Cyrus, and has been called experimental and psychedelic, with elements of psychedelic pop, psychedelic rock, and alternative pop. The album drew mixed reviews, with some critics praising the artist's willingness to push creative boundaries while retaining a sense of radio-friendly tracks.
Cyrus resumed her film work in 2015 by appearing as herself in two-holiday comedies: The Night Before, starring Seth Rogen and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and the Bill Murray variety special A Very Murray Christmas. The following year she teamed with Woody Allen to star in the Amazon series Crisis in Six Scenes.
On May 11, 2017, Cyrus released "Malibu" as the lead single from her sixth album. The single debuted at No. 64 on the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at No. 10 on the chart on its second week. On June 9, Cyrus released "Inspired" after performing the song at the One Love Manchester benefit concert. It serves as a promotional single from her upcoming album. On August 8, Cyrus announced that her sixth studio album would be titled Younger Now and would be released on September 29, 2017. The album's title track was released as the second single from the album on August 18, and debuted and peaked at No. 79 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Already a veteran of the small screen, Cyrus put her hosting duties to task once again as one of the new female coaches of season 11 of The Voice - the other being Alicia Keys. The women competed to discover the top artist, alongside veteran coaches Adam Levine and Blake Shelton. Cyrus left at the end of the season but returned for No. 13 in 2017. On October 5, 2017, Cyrus confirmed that she would not be returning to The Voice for season fourteen. On October 30, 2017, Cyrus said she would not tour for or release any further singles from Younger Now.
Before the release of Younger Now in September 2017, Cyrus expressed she was "already two songs deep on the next [album]." Producers attached to her seventh studio album include previous collaborator Mike Will Made It and new collaborators Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt. Her first collaboration with Ronson, "Nothing Breaks Like a Heart" from his 2019 album Late Night Feelings, was released on November 29, 2018.
On May 31, 2019, Cyrus tweeted that her seventh studio album would be titled She Is Miley Cyrus and would comprise of three six-song EPs, which would be released before the full-length album: She Is Coming on May 31, She Is Here in the summer, and She Is Everything in the fall. She Is Coming debuted at number five on the US Billboard 200 with 36,000 album-equivalent units, while the single "Mother's Daughter" entered at number 54 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
The episode "Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too" of the British science fiction series Black Mirror, which Cyrus filmed in South Africa in November 2018, was released on Netflix on June 5, 2019. In the episode, she portrays the fictional pop star Ashley O and provides the voice for the AI doll Ashley Too.

Religion

Politics
In 2012, Miley Cyrus was a supporter of Barack Obama. She appeared in a commercial for the Rock the Vote campaign which encouraged young people to make their voices heard by voting in the 2012 federal election.
Miley Cyrus might have supported Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential elections, but she's open-minded when it comes to approaching President Trump's supporters: "I like the way I think right now. But don't Trump supporters like the way they think? So I've also got to be open with the way I approach people with my opinions. That's the only way to make real change."
Cyrus supported Bernie Sanders during the Democratic primary but threw her support behind Clinton after he dropped out, and campaigned for Clinton in October, visiting students at George Mason University in Virginia. The day after Trump's inauguration, she participated in the Women's March in Los Angeles. She stated: "We don't want to talk about change, we want to be the change, and to know that I'm not alone in this dream brings me such hope, and hope is a crucial component in creating the world that we want to live in."
Cyrus still thinks Clinton deserves to become the first female president: “And that’s what makes me so sad, breaking down, “… that I just wish that she had that opportunity because she’s fought for so long. And because I believe her when she says she loves this country, this is all she’s ever done, she’s given her life to make it better. But like Donald Trump so ironically played after his speech, ‘You Can’t Always Get What You Want'.”
Views
Throughout her career, Cyrus has sung on several charity singles such as Just Stand Up!, Send It On, Everybody Hurts and We Are the World 25 for Haiti. She has visited a number of sick fans in hospitals throughout the years. She is an avid supporter of the City of Hope National Medical Center in California, having attended benefit concerts in 2008, 2009 and 2012. In 2008 and 2009, during her Best of Both Worlds and Wonder World Tours, for every concert ticket sold, she donated one dollar to the organization. Cyrus celebrated her sixteenth birthday at Disneyland by delivering a $1 million donation from Disney to Youth Service America. In July 2009, Cyrus performed at the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation's 20th annual A Time for Heroes celebrity picnic and donated several items including autographed merchandise, and a script from Hannah Montana for the Ronald McDonald House Auction. Cyrus supports charities such as: the Elton John AIDS Foundation, Entertainment Industry Foundation, Habitat for Humanity, United Service Organizations, Youth Service America and Music for Relief. In February 2010, she donated several items, including the dress she wore to the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, and two tickets to the Hollywood premiere of her movie The Last Song, to raise money for the victims of the 2010 Haiti earthquake.
In January 2011, Cyrus met an ailing fan with spina bifida with the charity Kids Wish Network. In April 2011, she appeared in a commercial for the American Red Cross asking people to pledge $10 to help those affected by the 2011 Japan earthquake and tsunami. In the same year Hilary Duff presented Cyrus with the first ever Global Action Youth Leadership Award at the first Annual Global Action Awards Gala for her support of Blessings in a Backpack, an organization that works to feed hungry children in schools, and her personal Get Ur Good On campaign with the Youth Services of America. Cyrus stated: "I want (kids) to do something they love. Not something that seems like a chore because someone tells them that's the right thing to do or what their parents want or what's important to people around them, but what's in their heart." In December 2011, she appeared in a commercial for the charity J/P Haitian Relief Organization and teamed up with her elder brother Trace Cyrus to design a limited edition T-shirt and hoodie for charity. All proceeds from the sale of these items went to her charity, Get Ur Good On, which supports education for underprivileged children. In the same month, she performed her song "The Climb" at the CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. For her twentieth birthday, activists at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) adopted a pig called Nora in her name.
Cyrus also supports thirty-nine well-known charities including Make-a-Wish Foundation, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, To Write Love on Her Arms, NOH8 Campaign, Love Is Louder Than the Pressure to Be Perfect and The Jed Foundation among others. In 2013, Cyrus was named the fourteenth most charitable celebrity of the year by Do Something. She also appeared with Justin Bieber and Pitbull in a television special entitled The Real Change Project: Artists for Education. On July 26, 2014, it was announced that Cyrus would appear alongside Justin Timberlake at an HIV/AIDS charity event in the White House.
At the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards, Jimmy Fallon announced that Cyrus was the winner of the Video of the Year award for her song "Wrecking Ball". Instead of accepting the award herself, she had a twenty-two-year-old homeless man by the name of Jesse collect it for her. She had met him at My Friend's Place, an organization that helps homeless youth find shelter, work, health care, and education. His acceptance speech encouraged musicians to learn more about homeless youth in Los Angeles and what they can do to help at Cyrus's Facebook page. Cyrus then launched a Prizeo campaign to raise funds for the charity. Those who made donations were automatically entered into a sweepstake for a chance to meet Cyrus on her Bangerz Tour in Rio de Janeiro that September.
Cyrus is the founder of the Happy Hippie Foundation, which works to "fight injustice facing homeless youth, LGBTQ youth and other vulnerable populations". Since 2014, the foundation has served nearly 1,500 homeless youth in Los Angeles, reached more than 25,000 LGBTQ youth and their families with resources about gender, and provided social services to transgender individuals, youth in conflict zones, and people affected by crisis situations. Happy Hippie encourages Cyrus's fans to support causes including gender equality, LGBTQ rights and mental health through awareness campaigns and fundraising.
On June 15, 2015, Cyrus unleashed campaign #InstaPride in collaboration with Instagram. The campaign features a series of portraits starring transgender and gender-expansive people, which were posted to her Instagram feed with the hashtags "#HappyHippiePresents" and "#InstaPride". It was aimed at encouraging diversity and tolerance by showing these people in a positive light as examples for others who might be struggling to figure themselves out, as well as a reference point for people who didn't know personally anyone in that situation. Cyrus was the one behind the camera for the photoshoot the whole time and even interviewed her 14 subjects to share their personal stories along with their portraits. She decided to predominate the color yellow since she believes it is a happy and not sexualized color. She said she wanted to bring attention and celebrate people who wouldn't normally find themselves being the stars of a photoshoot or wouldn't find themselves on the cover of a magazine.
Following the loss of their Malibu home from the Woolsey Fire, Cyrus and Hemsworth partnered with their community to launch the Malibu Foundation for relief efforts following the 2018 California wildfires. Through the Happy Hippie Foundation, Cyrus and Hemsworth donated $500,000 to the Malibu Foundation.
Quotations:
"I love animals, but I don't really like riding animals. Like, I don't love being on a horse - it's just not my thing. I feel kinda bad. Like, I just want to pet you. I don't really want to put you to work. But cats - cats are fucking creepy. Oh my God, cats are creepy. Every time I see a cat, I think it's gonna turn on me. It's gonna turn for the worst. I don't ever see loyalty in cats. They're gonna scratch you, and then run away. Same with little dogs. Did you know Yorkies were bred to kill mice in the Queen's palace? I had a Yorkshire Terrier, and if I was a rat, it definitely would have eaten me. And Chihuahuas are the most scary animals on the planet. I'm terrified of Chihuahuas."
"There's no right or wrong, success or failure. I don't look at things as black or white. My life won't be a series of either/ors - musician or actor, rock or country, straitlaced or rebellious, this or that, yes or no. The real choices in life aren't that simple."
"I want to be the cool chick that everyone wants to be friends with. I want the people who watch my shows or watch my videos to be like, "She looks like the most fun person to hang out with ever. I want to be that girl's best friend. I want to party with her." It's like, if you're hanging out with Beyoncé, it's almost like you're hanging out with a goddess. She's like a real queen. It's a different realm. Where my thing is kind of the opposite. My shtick is I'm the homey."
"I've always dreamed of going into space. I'm going to go at some point. Virgin Galactic is taking a ship up next year - I'm trying to get on there right now. I've got a friend who invested in it, and he can kind of hook it up. I want to be one of the first ones. I thought the only way I would ever be allowed to go to space was if I was an astronaut. I never thought it was gonna be, like, a plane trip. At some point, it's gonna be a normal fare. Right now it's like a billion dollars. But at some point, it's gonna be like going to Australia."
"People that judge me or say that I'm crazy, they don't know half the stuff that their kids are doing."
Personality
Miley Cyrus is well known for her good media relations and her great humanitarian attitude.
