Vanessa Hudgens is a Filipina-American actress. Because of her ethnicity, people thought she might not make it big in Hollywood, as she didn't fit the conventional mold often followed in the industry. The prevailing opinion restricted her to ethnically diverse roles, rather than being part of mainstream productions. However, she proved these biases wrong, not only by breaking into mainstream roles but also by rising as a Disney star through her role in the High School Musical movie series and the Netflix movie series The Princess Switch.
