High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens is celebrating her 21st birthday with her favorite co-star/longtime boyfriend Zac Efron today!! She is finally old enough to go to a bar and order an old scotch! We kid, we kid! Vanessa only drinks natural, non-alcoholic beverages!

Vanessa was born in Salinas, California on December 14, 1988, and lived all over the West Coast – from Oregon to Southern California – with her parents, Gina, who held a succession of office jobs, and Gregory Hudgens, a firefighter, and a younger sister, Stella Hudgens. Vanessa and her family moved to Los Angeles after she won a role in a television commercial.

In 2003, Vanessa played a minor role in the movie “Thirteen“, where she plays Noel, a friend of Tracy (Evan Rachel Wood‘s character). She also landed a role in the 2004 “Thunderbirds” but, unfortunately, the movie was completely unsuccessful. Finally, in late 2005, she landed the role that would change her life as Gabriella Montez in “High School Musical“, opposite to Zac Efron, and the rest is history!!
