After appearing in several more commercials, Emily made her movie debut in the 1999 film The Secret Life of Girls. However, it was the 2002 role of Gerti Giggles in Spy Kids 2 that brought her worldwide recognition. But if Spy Kids 2 made her famous, Hannah Montana turned Emily into a teenage superstar!

Her home life
Emily comes from a close family. her parents had decided long ago to help her avoid the difficulties other teen stars have encountered. When Emily was 15, her dad decided that driving and dating should wait until later. This went against the norm as most of her friends were already doing both.
Her career
At 18, Emily is driving and dating a little too, but mostly she's focusing on her career. And to Emily's delight, it is a career that now includes music! She released her first EP, All the Right Wrongs, in the fall of 2009. Immediately afterward, she started working on her first CD, which debuted this spring and includes songs written by Emily.
As someone who loves being busy, Emily has a schedule that should keep her very happy. She has acting, singing, writing, touring and charity events lined up for the next year! Emily once said, "I'm trying to follow in my brother's footsteps, because I know he's really talented" But these days, rather than following, Emily is blazing a trail of her own!
