Before we met Ashley as Sharpay in High School Musical, most Disney Channel fans will have known her as Maddie Fitzpatrick, the loveable Candy Counter girl from The Suite Life of Zack and Cody!
Ashley originally had waist-length curly brown hair, (that we briefly see in the pilot episode of The Suite Life) which she dyed blonde for the part of Maddie. (This was also more fitting for the role of Sharpay, Ashley later stated!)

Ashley Tisdale is a recognised face on Disney Channel, but the character of Sharpay gave her a whole new persona, and a fantastic opportunity to further her own musical career.
Following on from the success of High School Musical, Ashley's debut album Headstrong (which is absolutely fantastic!) sold 70,000 copies in the first week!
