In person, Miley Cyrus is tall and lean and curvy as a violin. Taller than you'd imagine.
Also louder; she speaks with the bold, jokey air of someone who is used to being liked - and listened to - by every person in the room. She has a cheerleader's confidence and the laugh of a truck-stop waitress.
It seems almost uncannily perfect that today the grand old Southern mansion they're shooting the movie So Undercover in has been refitted as a KKZ soritity house...
Because in a lot of ways Miley Cyrus resembles nothing so much as a very friendly, very popular, very hard-working sorority girl.
A sorority girl who happened to make $48 million last year.
