Take a look inside the Best of Both Worlds. Miley Cyrus, the daughter of
country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, persisted in auditioning for the Hannah
Montana role even when she was consistently turned away. Nonetheless,
Miley kept picking herself up, dusting herself off and trying again. And
that persistence paid off. Miley was cast as Hannah - the TV pop
superstar who is tries to balance her celebrity with a normal life as
Miley Stewart, thus living a secret identity along the lines of Clark
Kent and Superman - and Hannah instantly connected with the television
audience, which turned the character and Miley herself into a sensation.
And since that debut, Hannah Montana grew into a sensation involving CDs
that have sold in the millions, fashion and book lines, best-selling
DVDs, sold out concert tours, a 3-D concert movie, and a full-length
feature film.Living the Dream tells the story of the auditions, the
casting of Hannah Montana, and what was involved in creating the Stewart
family. There are biographies of the principal cast members - Miley,
Billy Ray, Emily Osment, Mitchel Musso, and more - and interviews with
the creators of the show. There's a look at the phenomena outside of the
show: the CDs, the concert tours (including photos from fans), and the
incredible amount of buzz from fans while they were waiting for the
movie. An episode guide for the first two seasons reveals the story
behind the start of the hit series, as well as things to watch for in
each episode, and a news diary tracking the rise of the Miley/Hannah
phenomenon. Plus, there's more than a hundred full-colour photos.For
fans of the incredibly sweet Hannah Montana and those wanting the inside
scoop on Miley Cyrus' Disney star days, this is a book that will make
them appreciate the show and the stars even more.
