What happened to her career


I know she had multiple nude photos leaked but doesn't that usually advance a career? what happened?

She's starring as Gigi on Broadway. It's not a film, but will probably earn her some more respect. She looks great in the promos.

Main problem is her super cute persona, she's still fighting the legacy of High School Musical series performance and mega fame.

I think her career will make some major strides once Kitchen Sink is released where she plays a pot smoking cheerleader, presuming the film is a hit.

More complex roles that incorporate her cute looks is where career growth lies imo. The 180 degree turn of her more heavy realistic roles lately were too confronting for her fans or admirers. She needs something that's less abrupt with a easier learning curve for this stage of her career.

For example, I haven't watched her more serious films cause I can't deal with it. She's still too much Gabriella Montez from HSM. Nobody wants to see her play a prostitute or a homeless teenage mom or a criminal slut. But I am excited to see her as a pot smoking cheerleader, awesome.

What is she filming next?

Leaked nudes don't have the same impact as they had in the earlier years. The attention span when it comes to those has gotten dramatically shorter since it’s now happened so frequently. I'm a JLaw fan and I barely even remember her nudes.

I like Vanessa but I think she's going to struggle. The competition in her age group is FIERCE and she hasn't really proved herself as a character actor. The trend now seems to be for versatile character actors; it’s not that I don’t think she can do it, but she has not proven she can do it (at the same level as JLaw or Shailene Woodley, etc…)

About a decade ago, this actress was A+ list in her corner of the entertainment world. At that point, she rebuffed this disgraced producer and he got his revenge by releasing a series of pictures that would rock the world. Apparently all is forgiven or she got a nice big check because she did a huge favor for the producer and his family.

She was in Polar (2019) which I thought was very good.

reply

yeah that was a good movie.

Good question. People seemed to turn against her when her career choices became more mature in content, but I don't recall it ever being as raunchy or distasteful as Miley Cyrus.

reply

Definitely not

Her career is almost primarily teeny bopper/kid shit. She was never able to branch out - and have success - from that. She tried, but her career never took off.
