Despite her unusual first name, Dove Cameron's rise to Hollywood stardom was anything but strange. A native of Seattle, WA, Cameron moved to Los Angeles as young teenager to pursue acting professionally. She soon began landing bit parts on shows like "Shameless" (Showtime 2011- ) and "The Mentalist" (CBS 2008-15), before nabbing the lead as identical twins on the Disney Channel's "Liv and Maddie" (2013-17). The show was an immediate hit when it debuted in September 2013, with the pilot episode being the most watched show on the network in nearly three years, at a time when its lead actress had just reached the legal age to drive a car.
