Ashley was born in New Jersey, USA. She appeared in more than 100 TV adverts before she started to get theatre, TV and film roles. Her older sister is Jennifer Tisdale, whos also an actress.

Ashley was friends with Mischa Barton when they were growing up. She loves Diesel clothes and is hooked on the TV show Friends.

"I moved from New Jersey to California, so I know what it feels like being the new girl trying to figure it all out. There was this girl in the popular group who was jealous of me, even though I bought my own clothes and car - my parents didn't give them to me. I never told people in school I was an actress. I am a girl, and acting is my job."
