10. Brenda Song — From Suite Life to Cult-Favorite Actress
Brenda Song was a Disney staple, starring in The Suite Life and Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior. She could have easily continued in family-friendly projects, but she pivoted into edgier material.
She appeared in David Fincher’s The Social Network, playing a role very different from her Disney image. Later, she built a reputation in thrillers such as Secret Obsession on Netflix.
Off-screen, Song has embraced motherhood, building a quieter, more balanced life. Fans who remember her as a bubbly Disney star are often surprised to see her in darker roles, proving her versatility.
