ZENDAYA
Sixteen-year-old Zendaya Coleman grew up as part of the California Shakespeare Theater where her mother was House Manager. She began her career as a model and back-up dancer, but her breakout role as Bella Thorne’s co-star on Shake It Up! as Raquel “Rocky” Blue really put her on the map. Zendaya’s had a busy year—this past spring she was a fan favorite, finishing second on Dancing With the Stars; her first book, Between U and Me: How to Rock Your Teen Years with Style and Confidence is due to hit bookstores in August. And if that weren’t enough, she just released her new single, Replay, with an album to follow this fall.
