Vanessa Hudgens in BEASTLY

Pix of lovely Vanessa Hudgens from Beastly, the first of two genre flix she's appearing in this month.
A "reimagining" of the classic Beauty and the Beast tale, it's more a chickflick than a true genre film.
But, hey, if she's in it, why not check it out?
Beastly opens today.

Vanessa Anne Hudgens

Is there anyone under the age of 25 who doesn't know Vanessa Anne Hudgens as Gabriella Montez from the High School Musical trilogy?
While she is best-known as an ingenue and singer with a couple of gold albums, with her credible acting ability (check out Thirteen), the willingness to do non-dangerous stuntwork (as seen in Thunderbirds), and her love of genre films, Vanessa's standing as a Fantastic Femme is assured!
Trivia:
Offered a role in the remake of horror film Prom Night, but turned it down.
Her singing training is in opera!
Performed all her singing in the High School Musical films and BandSlam.

Both her maternal and paternal grandparents were professional musicians in the 1930s-50s!
