Miley Stewart

Miley Ray Stewart is a fictional character and central protagonist of the Disney Channel television series Hannah Montana. Miley Stewart is portrayed by Miley Cyrus. She first appeared on television in the pilot episode "Lilly, Do You Want to Know a Secret?" on March 24, 2006, and made her last appearance on the series finale "Wherever I Go" on January 16, 2011. The character also appeared in the 2009 feature film Hannah Montana: The Movie. Miley is a normal teenage girl who secretly leads a double life as Hannah Montana, a world-famous pop star. Miley Stewart's stage name and alias is Hannah Montana.

The character was originally named Chloe Stewart but was changed to Miley Stewart.

Miley Cyrus learned about the casting for a new Disney show at the age of 11 through a Nashville talent agent. She sent in a tape auditioning for the show's best friend role, but received a call asking her to audition for the lead. After she sent in a tape and was flown to Hollywood for further auditions, Miley Cyrus was told that she was too young and too small for the role. However, Miley Cyrus' persistence and ability to sing in addition to act caused the show's producers to invite her back for further auditions. Producers eventually narrowed the large pool of candidates down to three actresses, including Miley Cyrus and Taylor Momsen, and gave the part to Miley Cyrus, then twelve. According to Disney Channel president Gary Marsh, Miley Cyrus was chosen because of her energetic and lively performance and was seen as a person who "loves every minute of life," with the "everyday relatability of Hilary Duff and the stage presence of Shania Twain."

Miley Cyrus' casting also led to the casting of her real life father, Billy Ray Cyrus, as the father of her character on the show. Miley Cyrus was initially wary; according to her mother and co-manager, Tish Cyrus, "Miley Cyrus's concern at the time was, oh my gosh, people are going to think I only got this part because of my dad." However, worried that her family would otherwise have to be separated as they had been when her father first landed the lead in the television series Doc, Miley Cyrus relented and helped audition her father for the part.

Miley was born on November 23, 1992 (Cyrus' real birth date), in the fictional town of Crowley Corners in Buford County, Tennessee.[citation needed] Miley received a love for music from her father, who was a popular country music star. Her parents recognized Miley's potential and gave her a guitar on December 25, 2000. This event is shown in the episode "I Am Hannah, Hear Me Croak" when Miley views it on her laptop.

By the time she was 12 years old, Miley had become a famous pop star under the stage name Hannah Montana. She goes to great lengths to disguise herself as Hannah in order to keep her true identity a secret, because she is worried that if people knew her secret they would like her just because she's famous. Before revealing her secret in I'll Always Remember You, it is mentioned by Jackson, Sienna and Rico that the only people to know about her secret beside her family are Lilly and Oliver, her former bodyguard Roxy, her ex-boyfriend Jake, her current boyfriend Jesse, Sienna and all of Crowley Corners, Tennessee. However, in the episode "Hannah Montana to the Principal's Office" it is shown that the President of the United States knows her secret.

Miley is especially close with her father, from whom she receives much good advice and emotional support. She also values her relationships with her best friends Lilly and Oliver. However Miley is shown to be very uncomfortable with the fact that they're dating and even stops them from being a couple. Her relationship with Lilly occasionally suffers the occasional setback, but they always make up. In the episode 'What I Don't Like About You', Miley is asked to choose a side between a fight Lilly and Oliver had. But Miley, showing what a kind friend she was, made a mini-Indiana Joannie movie, which made Lilly and Oliver forgive each other. Miley's relationship with her brother Jackson is often hostile. The two siblings constantly fight and trash talk each other. However, in a few private conversations, both Miley and Jackson say that they love and appreciate each other, but they are both unwilling to admit this in public.

Miley also has several dating relationships, many of which are short lived.
