Britney Spears was born on December 2, 1981 in Kentwood, Louisiana, USA. As a child, Britney attended dance classes, and she was great at gymnastics, winning many competitions. But most of all, Britney loved to sing. At the age of eight, Britney tried out for “The All New Mickey Mouse Club” (1989). One of the last teenage superstars of the millennium, Britney enjoyed her breakthrough success at the end of 1998. Although she was too young to join the series, a producer on the show gave her introduction to a New York agent. She subsequently spent three summers at the Professional Performing Arts School Center. She appeared in a number of off-Broadway productions as a child actor, including Ruthless 1991.
