Emily Osment - Disney's Newest Rising Star
Hannah Montana's best friend is finding her own voice
In the past, those familiar with Emily Osment knew her simply as child star Haley Joel Osment's little sister. These days, however, audiences know her as Lilly Truscott on Disney's hit series Hannah Montana.
A family of actors
Having an actor for a father means Emily has acting in her blood. Not surprisingly, she landed her first acting role at the young age of 6 in a TV commercial. After appearing in several more commercials, Emily made her movie debut in the 1999 film The Secet Life of Girls. However, it was the 2002 role of Gerti Giggles in Spy Kids 2 that brought her worldwide recognition. But if Spy Kids 2 made her famous, Hannah Montana turned Emily into a teenage superstar!
With success comes challenges
Fame and success have brought some changes into the young actress's life. She used to attend public school, but now she has a private tutor. According to Emily, constantly being in the limelight can sometimes be hard. But with a wide array of ongoing projects, Emily's not complaining too much!
