Miley Cyrus played Miley Stewart/Hannah Montana on Disney Channel from 2006-2011. It was the first time fiction and reality blurred together with a fictionalized superstar becoming a real life superstar. Miley struggled with trying to differentiate herself from being her, the character Miley, and being Hannah Montana. She became not just a Disney icon, but also established herself as a Grammy winning artist and was able to remove herself from the Disney image almost completely.
