Marina is the glamorous and gorgeous daughter of the eminent liberal journalist Murray Thwaite, whose overweening intelligence and charisma keep her in the thrall of an Electra-like adulation of her father. Since her graduation from Brown, she has been wallowing in an abortive effort to finish her book on “how complex and profound cultural truths—our mores entire—could be derived from” the evolution of children’s fashion.

Like her predecessors, Hillary Duff (Lizzie McGuire) and Raven Symone (That's So Raven), the twangy-voiced Cyrus was plucked from the ranks of minor actors by Disney and anointed to be its newest star. While she certainly has musical talent and charisma, she's also the product of a winning formula for creating shows that tweens love and make stars out of its leads...
