Who is Dove Cameron? Meet Hairspray Live's Amber!

Meet Dove Cameron, who stars as Amber Von Tussle in tonight’s live special, Hairspray Live!

The 20-year-old actress rose to fame on Disney Channel’s hit series Liv and Maddie as well as their hugely popular film Descendants.

Dove was in talks to play Amber in Hairspray Live! for several months but almost didn’t get the role because of a scheduling conflict while filming Descendants 2.

Thankfully, the producers were able to make it work and Dove got the part!

We gathered some major facts you should know about the starlet as you watch her own the stage in the full production!

Hairspray Live! airs TONIGHT, Wednesday, December 7 @ 8PM ET/PT on NBC.
