Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus
Miley Cyrus became known for her role in Hannah Montana – and for being Billy Ray Cyrus’ daughter. Miley began acting at 13 years old and landed the role of Hannah Montana in the hit Disney Channel series. She starred in the show alongside her father. With the show’s success, Miley became a child star and then transitioned into a musician. Her album, “Bangerz”, was nominated for a Grammy in 2015.
Meanwhile, Billy has had his own very successful music career. He rose to fame in the early 1990s with his hit single Achy Breaky Heart. Since then, he has released 16 studio albums and continues to feature on hit songs today, including Old Town Road with Lil Nas X.
Drew Barrymore and the Barrymore family
Drew Barrymore comes from a line of famous actors. She began her career at seven years old in a film called Altered States, but she really launched into stardom when she played Elliot’s little sister in E.T. She continued acting well into adulthood, eventually earning a Golden Globe in 2010 for Grey Gardens.
Today, she hosts a syndicated talk show which is airing its second season.
