Vanessa Hudgens
Few Disney Channel Original Movies had as long a shelf life as High School Musical, which got not one but two sequels (and a Sharpay-focused spin-off). And we can all agree that Vanessa Hudgens, who played Gabriella, was a standout. Vanessa has since gone on to star in more adult fare like 2011’s Sucker Punch and 2013’s Spring Breakers.
