MILEY CYRUS IS PROUD OF HER CLIMB
Written by Ella Melake on August 15, 2024
Miley Cyrus rose to fame on “Hannah Montana” and is now the youngest person to be named a Disney Legend.
It was an emotional moment for the teary eyed award winner who accepted the honor to a standing ovation from a crowd of 12,000 on Sunday at the D23 fan expo, where she recalled her start on the Disney series in 2005.
“I had gotten a taste of what my life could be, and from that moment on, I did not want anything else,” Cyrus, who has gone on to become a Grammy-winning performer, said of her early experiences on the show.
Miley was among 14 artists honored as Disney Legends this year. Angela Bassett, Jamie Lee Curtis, James L. Brooks, James Cameron, Harrison Ford, Frank Oz, Kelly Ripa; Oscar-winning composer John Williams; Disney costumer Colleen Atwood; tour guide-turned manager/producer Martha Blanding; artist and writer Steve Ditko; animator Mark Henn; and theme park designer Joe Rohde were also celebrated.
