Brittany Snow Confirmed for Big-Screen Hairspray
by Broadway.com Staff • Jul 18, 2006
Brittany Snow is set to play Amber Von Tussle, daughter of Michelle Pfeiffer's Velma Von Tussle, in the upcoming Hairspray film, according to The Hollywood Reporter. In addition to Pfeiffer and Snow, the movie cast includes Nicole Blonsky, John Travolta, Queen Latifah, Amanda Bynes, Zac Efron and Elijah Kelley.
Snow first made a name for herself as a young girl as the second actress to play Susan Lemay on the soap opera The Guiding Light. However it was not until 2002 that she really hit the big time, portraying innocent teen Meg Pryor in the acclaimed NBC series American Dreams. That series was cancelled in 2005, the same year she was seen on the big screen in The Pacifier. Since then, Snow notably had a guest-starring arc as a racist high school student on Nip/Tuck. She will soon be appearing on the big screen in John Tucker Must Die.
