Hannah Montana

 Hannah Montana is a teenage sensation. This TV series debuted on Disney Channel in March, 2009 making a star out of teenage girl Miley Cyrus. In the series she plays Miley Stewart, who leads a double life. She’s a teenage school girl during the day and morphs into a pop icon Hannah Montana when it’s night. She conceals her real identity from the masses, and no one knows the truth except her close friends and family.

American Juniors stars Jordan McCoy and JoJo was considered for the role of Zoe Stewart. But they turned it down before it was lapped up by Miley Cyrus, Miley had initially auditioned for the role of the central character’s best friend, Lilly Romero, which was later changed to Lilly Truscott. Other names considered for Hannah Montana’s main character include Anna Cabana, Samantha York and Alexis Texas.

The Daily Dispatch reported that the TV series accumulated about 200 million viewers all over the world. The report said: "If Miley’s viewers were a country, they would be the fifth largest population in the world – just ahead of Brazil." The series is not without its share of controversy. In 2007, Buddy Sheffield dragged Disney to court alleging that the original idea of Hannah Montana belonged to him.
