Brenda Song Chose Disney Stardom

At 15, actress Brenda Song received an early acceptance letter from Harvard University, the college she had always wanted to attend. Around the same time, her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, and Song booked the role of London Tipton on Disney Channel's "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody." Her father encouraged her to take the acting job, and Song later said she had no hesitation choosing the role over Harvard. The decision turned London Tipton into one of Disney Channel's most recognizable characters of the 2000s.
