Everything You Need to Know About Bunk’d and Stargirl Actress Shelby Simmons
We've always loved Shelby Simmons as Ava on Bunk'd, but her role as mean girl Hillari in Disney's Stargirl really showed us her incredible acting chops.
Of course, in real life, Shelby is an advocate against bullying, and encourages everyone to celebrate and learn to embrace their authentic selves. We had to get to know her better, and she was more than happy to open up about all the things that make her one-of-a-kind.
