Before there was Barbie, there were Bratz.

“He’s been there for me my whole life,” Shaye toldPeople.
The character was played by Nathalia Ramos, an actor who is Spanish and Jewish, just like Yasmin.
“The movie is very anti-stereotypical.
It breaks down stereotypes,” she told JVibe around the time of the film’s release.
“No one would expect me to be from Spain and also be Jewish.”
Nevertheless, she and the other girls have stayed in touch.
On Christy Carlson Romano’s “Vulnerable” podcast, Ramos revealed, “We’re really good friends.
They’re like, my ride-or-dies, really.
… What I feel really grateful about is that we have been so supportive of each other.”
Parrish landed a record deal thanks to her work in the movie.
She toldMovieWebproudly, “My song is on the soundtrack.
And my video plays during the credits at the end of the movie.”
Parrish enjoyed the film, telling KidzWorld that it wouldn’t be the last.
“I don’t think this is the last time they see the Bratz.”
It was indeed the last time anyone saw the Bratz, and Parrish’s debut album never materialized either.
Since “Bratz,” Parrish is best known for her time on “Pretty Little Liars.”
She played Mona Vanderwaal one of the series' main antagonists.
Most recently, Parrish starred in “Family History Mysteries: Buried Past,” a Hallmark movie.

Speaking withMovieMom, Browning talked up her character’s sense of style.
“Sasha is very Beyonce, very classy, and animal prints are her signature.”
She now acts under the name Chelsea Kane.
She always came first in her mind," Kane explained.
“So I thought it was funny to play a character that really only cares about herself.”
That same year, she starred in “Beauty and the Beast” on Broadway.
In “Bratz” she played Avery, one of mean-girl Meredith’s lackeys.
Van der Pol’s career was rather quiet after 2007.
Then in 2017, she returned to the role that made her famous.
It truly gives me the fuzzies."
“They couldn’t really see a Black girl being the show,” she said.
“They saw her as a sidekick.”
Like Chelsea Kane, Jow has changed her name and now mononymously goes by “Melise.”

Ford frequently documents his projects' productions on his Twitter account, where he has more than 141K followers.
“I had a wonderful time with it.
“It’s an inclusive movie and the perfect time for it.”
Kazan is also a talented live performer, making her a fascinating interview subject.
And you’ll see her next jetting off to Greece in “My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3.”
It’s very loving and surprisingly moving with wonderful lessons for young people.
It’s a terrific, rousing movie.”
“I think the last scene, I hope we did a good job with it.
And I hope that people will be deeply moved by it.”
He regularly makes political videos on Twitter, a hobby that has given some of his co-stars pause.
“We just don’t do it.”
Chet Hanks has remained relevant in the culture thanks to his outsized personality and questionable love of Jamaican accents.
Like, of just recent times."
For her part, Ziwe stared incredulously.
The “White Boy Summer” rapper also made headlines in 2023 for his feud with Eric Andre.
