Hannah Montana’s Climb to Fame
To refute the broad appeal of Hannah Montana is to deny a genuine pop culture phenomenon, even if it has come and gone. Pop culture phenomena have a way of never truly passing — they tend to peter out until they are re-discovered and re-imagined and re-presented, sometimes with a new actor playing the part. To date, however, the character of Hannah Montana is firmly fused to the actress, Miley Cyrus. She is the daughter of country singer, Billy Ray Cyrus, who like all pop icons, enjoyed his time in the cultural frontal lobe, only to be replaced by the next it-thing or infectiously clever song. As she seared her buoyant effervescence into the archetypal consciousness of teenage girls everywhere, her character enthralled a nation.
