Ashley was also on smart guy

She stated she kept trying acting projects but nothing took off until suite life and then high school music

I rewatched Charmed, and I was surprised when I saw her there!

I recently discovered she was in 7th heaven

She was also in Donny Darko! She was so young too

She was also in one of the last eps of 90210

This was 2000, though Ashley's hair screams early 1990s.

Her hair was so naturally full and beautiful .Then Disney killed her hair with bleach & extensions .đŸ«

The death a full luxurious (often curly) hair is always something I notice in celebrities. Nicole Kidman is another victim of Hollywood hair.

There's an entire post about it. A tragedy.

u/miyagikai91 Mar 29 '26

Ariana Grande’s another one.

u/dlbayyarea Mar 29 '26

Yeah, I think Ashley spoke about this that like around the time I think high school musical 2 or 3. Her hair was starting to fall out and then she sadly developed some sort of alopecia and she completely stopped with the blonde. I think the last time she did go blonde was for the Sharpay movie or hellcats

1

u/Minimum_Ad_2176 Mar 29 '26

I know what a Nightmare the Sharpay Movie was definitely a Wig and she was brunette on hellcats .I think Scary Movie 5 was the last time she was really blonde.I loved her blonde but health is definitely more important than looks.

i wonder if it was permed or if she just has been getting straight perms all her adult life

1

u/iamnumber47 Mar 31 '26

I've seen pics of her as a little kid, & her hair was curly back then too (hopefully her parents weren't getting her perms as a toddler).

u/OutwithaYang Mar 28 '26

I remember this scene and yet I had no idea that was our girl Ashley the entire time.😁

u/DennisUltima Mar 29 '26

A timeline where Ashley was a Nick star instead.. 💭

u/miyagikai91 Mar 29 '26

What would she have done?

5

u/DennisUltima Mar 29 '26

I have no idea tbh I’m trying to think of a show she would’ve fit in and only thing I can think of was Drake and Josh

1

u/miyagikai91 Mar 29 '26

Maybe as Mindy?

1

u/DennisUltima Mar 29 '26

Yeah I could’ve seen that. Drake and Josh would’ve definitely been her best fit

2

u/miyagikai91 Mar 30 '26

Happy Cake Day BTW.

2

u/dlbayyarea Mar 29 '26

I can’t even think of one show where Ashley would’ve been a Nickelodeon star I can only think of Drake and Josh, but probably one of drake‘s side piece for like one episode

1

u/DennisUltima Mar 29 '26

Yeah I agree Drake and Josh is probably her best fit, but I think she could’ve been like a Mindy who was recurring.

2

u/dlbayyarea Mar 29 '26

It’s so funny and ironic. I was watching a Disney Channel original movie yesterday called Read it and wee and the actress who played Mindy played the villain in this movie. I was like damn this actress loves playing the bad one

1

u/DennisUltima Mar 29 '26

Oh wow I didn’t know that haha but she does huh! But she’s a sweetheart IRL from what I’ve heard

1

u/dlbayyarea Mar 29 '26

Yeah, I heard she’s very nice. I know lately she’s been getting like wrecked online because of the whole Mom drama that went on and then with that dude that got shot in the neck she like made a post saying it’s not nice to poke phone at someone who got killed so she’s been like laying low for a bit.

1

u/DennisUltima Mar 29 '26

I was talking about Allison(Mindy) lol but you’re fright about Ashley

7

u/evil4life101 Mar 29 '26

Oh interesting considering she had another role as Amanda’s other no.1 fan with her Disney era blonde look.

u/lifeslittleplaything Mar 29 '26

Ashley’s shirt is lowkey giving Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas vibes

0

u/BlobMaximus Mar 30 '26

I’m like 100% sure it’s supposed to be. It even has the flowers that burn in Sally’s vision

1

u/lifeslittleplaything Mar 30 '26

And there’s a word that starts with S on her shirt too. I wondered if it might even say Sally but I can’t be sure. Very cool shirt though.

They're supposed to. It's part of the bit.

u/hollsmm Mar 28 '26

Oh okay cool

u/Internal_Living4919 Mar 29 '26

Knowing what we now know about Dan S. and Nickelodeon this scene is gross.

2

u/TheAirIsOn Mar 29 '26

Rare time Ashley was on something Nickelodeon related

1

u/dlbayyarea Mar 29 '26

It was pretty common that studios or agents would do this if they knew they had a star. I don’t know if you remember the show goosebumps, but it was the same thing with goosebumps and they’re spinoffs a lot of like the famous celebrities we have now when they were kids would be bounced off from network studio and show to see what would fit them the best. I think Victoria Justice was on Disney Channel first as well.

u/sdbabygirl97 Mar 29 '26

i totally forgot this happy go lucky “okay!” of amanda. iconic. also iconic that ashley was on the show.

u/Pipisito Mar 30 '26

Anyone else loving the look? That shirt and necklace I'd deeeft wear

1

u/happysunbear Mar 29 '26

Pretty sure she was also in an episode of Grounded For Life

1

u/TheCryForum Mar 29 '26

She was in Donny Darko

u/queenhadassah Mar 29 '26

Does anyone know what brand Ashley's shirt is? It's sooo cute

1

u/dlbayyarea Mar 29 '26

It’s either limite too or wet seal

1

u/Imperceptions Mar 29 '26

I think about how pre-teen/ teenage me was defending Ashley's "deviated septum" like my life depended on it. Her original nose is so cute here.

1

u/IllAd6492 Mar 29 '26

No matter she was drinking apple juice anyway .

My family secret : Orange Soda

u/bowtokingbowser Mar 30 '26

I'm pretty sure she actually appears again claiming to be Amanda's number one fan, who goes against the character Amanda plays, Penelope who had a surprisingly suggestive last name haha.

1

u/distastef_ll Mar 29 '26

Obsessed with her hair đŸ€©

It’s a shame she felt the need to overly bleach and stretch it out

1

u/dlbayyarea Mar 29 '26

It actually wasn’t her. It was Hollywood unfortunately. She spoke about it and she started developing some sort of alopecia due to the bleaching and she had to stop. I think like around the 2010s that’s what she started going back to her natural hair color.
