Miley Cyrus

Author Nicholas Sparks, who wrote "The Last Song" with Miley in mind, credits her for coming up with the name for her character, Veronica "Ronnie" Miller. Sparks says it sounded "perfect" as soon as she suggested it.

It took a long time before Miley was able to really be friends with "Hannah Montana" co-star Emily Osment. The girls have big personality differences, Emily is more reserved, while Miley is very outgoing, and they often fought while filming the first season of the show. Miley says she really wanted to be close with Emily, but they just couldn't find a way to get along. While they ultimately found a way to at least work together on a professional level, Miley claims that their off-screen friendship didn't really start until they started filming "Hannah Montana: The Movie" in 2008. They hung out a lot in-between scenes, and Miley swears that she felt something "shift" between them at that time. By the time the girls came back to film the show's third season shortly after that, they were close friends.

When she was very young, Miley used to go onto the stage after her father had performed, and she'd help collect the flowers and homemade bracelets that people threw at him. Then they would go and donate everything to a local hospital.
