PROM PACT - CATCHING UP WITH PEYTON ELIZABETH LEE
/Ambition is risky business.. especially when you are in your last year of High School about to embark on a journey of a lifetime!
It’s the height of prom season, and high school senior Mandy Yang and her best friend and fellow outsider Ben are surrounded by over-the-top ’80s-themed promposals. However, Mandy keeps her eyes focused on a different goal: her lifelong dream of attending Harvard. When she finds out that she has been put on the waitlist, she is determined to do whatever she can do to get herself accepted, even if that means asking for help from the one person she abhors — popular all-star jock Graham Lansing, whose father is a powerful senator and Harvard alum. Once Mandy becomes Graham’s tutor, she begins to realize there’s more to him than she thought and perhaps something more to life than Harvard.
Peyton Elizabeth Lee stars as the smart and determined high school senior Mandy, who is laser-focused on getting into Harvard, in "Prom Pact," Lee also serves as a co-producer on the movie. In addition to the Disney Original Movie, she currently stars as the title character, Lahela "Doogie" Kamealoha, in the Disney+ Original Series "Doogie Kamealoha, M.D.," which will soon be entering its second season on the streaming service. She was recently seen as the lead in Disney's family superhero film "Secret Society of Second Born Royals." For her performance, she was nominated for a Critics Choice Award for Best Lead Actress in a Superhero Film.
Lee is best known for playing the title character on Disney Channel's "Andi Mack." "Andi Mack" has been the number one rated show on Disney Channel and the highest-rated cable television show across all youth demographics. It has been well received for breaking new ground in young adult television by touching upon previously taboo subject matter for the genre. She also recurs on the Disney animated series "The Lion Guard" and appeared on the first season of ABC's "Stumptown." Her other past TV credits include a recurring role on Showtime's "Shameless."
