The last person to hear Brenda Song is undergoing a 2025 "Brendaissance" might just be her.
The 36-year-old former Disney Channel darling—best known to millennials as the teenage hotel heiress London Tipton from The Suite Life—has put in the work, catalyzing the portmanteau that's gone baby-viral. She's just landed two major roles that showcase her impressive range. First, in Gia Coppola’s The Last Showgirl, playing an exotic dancer on the eve of her Vegas show's shutdown alongside Pamela Anderson (currently in theaters). Next, as the foul-mouthed chief of staff to Kate Hudson's enthusiastic team president in the Mindy Kaling basketball comedy Running Point, streaming on Netflix on Feb. 27.
