Hannah Montana

Yesterday I met Miley Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus. Miley is the actress who plays Miley Stewart in the tv show Hannah Montana. Billy Ray is her real father and he plays her dad on the show. He is a famous country western singer himself, and Miley has an amazing voice. In the show, her identity as Hannah Montana (a young teen singing star) is a secret.

I went with my mother to an interview that was part of the New York Times Art and Leisure Weekend, at the Graduate Center of City University. Miley and her dad were interviewed in a big auditorium, with room for about 300 people. It was mostly kids who went. At first, it didn’t seem we could get tickets but we went anyway in the hope that someone would cancel. We went at 9 am, and they found a way to let me go in my wheelchair and we got to sit in the front of the auditorium. Miley and Billy Ray were right in front of me and they smiled. They were extremely friendly. Billy Ray came up to me afterwards, as they were leaving, and he gave me his autograph. In the interview, they said they have a lot of fun working together. They have four dogs, three cats, some horses and a chicken. She is friends with her co-stars. Miley was only 11 years old when she first tried to get a part on this show, and she had to audition more than once to get it. Then she convinced them to have her dad audition for the part of the dad in the show.

After the interview, we went downstairs and I got to go in the front of the line into the room where Miley and her father were giving autographs.

I will never forget the day!!!!
