South Carolina native Monique Coleman does pack a punch, even with her tiny 5’2” frame. Nicknamed Momo, the actress worked her way through TVland in guest spots on Strong Medicine, Gilmore Girls, Malcolm in the Middle, Boston Public, Method & Red, and Veronica Mars, and played the part of Leesha in the TV movie The Reading Room (2005) with James Earl Jones before catching the eye of the big-eared mouse. Starting with just one episode of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody in 2005, her big breakout role came in 2006 when she scored the part of Taylor McKessie in the Disney Channel’s blockbuster TV movie High School Musical. Suddenly that one-episode role on The Suite Life turned into the recurring character Mary-Margaret, keeping the star somewhat occupied until High School Musical 2 (2007), and High School Musical 3: Senior Year(2008)—at the age of 28, Monique had finally graduated from high school. Perhaps proving she had grown up, she took on the role of Roz in the film Free the Nipple (2014), based on the true story of a group of women who set out to, well, free the nipple—and to protest the backwards censorship of women’s breasts in America. (Right on! Mr. Skin is 100% in on this!). Moving back to TV, she landed series regular roles as Lain in The Fourth Door in 2015, Kayla in Here We Go Again in 2016, and played Ms. Lewis in the TV movie I Am Somebody’s Child: The Regina Louise Story (2019) with Ginnifer Goodwin. Now. For the big naked reveal (Mr. Skin rubs his hands together eagerly): In 2006, just after the first HSM, Monique strutted her stuff unforgettably on the reality dance competition Dancing with the Stars, showing miles of creamy cocoa skin and a flash of her bodacious booty. It seems her lemon-yellow dance gear couldn’t stand up to all the shimmying and twirling, and dipped lower, lower, lower to reveal a good portion of her ripe, round backside. Mr. Skin does enjoy a good wardrobe malfunction!
