Overview[edit]
Five best friends: Spencer Hastings, Aria Montgomery, Hanna Marin, Emily Fields, and Alison DiLaurentis have a sleepover at Spencer's family's barn in her backyard. The girls drink alcohol and tell secrets, before passing out. During the night, Alison and Spencer leave the barn. When the rest of the girls wake up, Spencer is the only one to return to the barn, claiming she heard a scream.
Following Alison's disappearance, the four remaining girls drift apart without their clique leader and Aria's family moves to Iceland for a year. One year later, Aria returns to Rosewood, where she hooks up with an older guy at a bar; she later discovers he is her new English teacher. Hanna has usurped Alison's role as the most popular girl at Rosewood High School, along with formerly nerdy Mona Vanderwaal. The girls regularly shoplift from the local mall, until Hanna is caught, forcing her mother into a sexual relationship with Detective Darren Wilden to get the charges dropped. Spencer develops romantic feelings for her older sister Melissa's fiance, British doctor Wren Kingston, while Emily befriends a new girl named Maya, whose family has moved into Alison's former home.
As the story unfolds, each of the girls receive text messages from an anonymous blackmailer only known as "-A", who threatens them with secrets only Alison would have known. The girls suspect Alison is the one sending the texts, until her body is found buried in her old backyard.
The girls begin to search for answers since Alison's body has been found. They initially suspect Toby Cavanaugh, a boy Alison had blackmailed after having blinded his stepsister Jenna Marshall in a prank, which went horribly wrong. When Emily is nearly sexually assaulted by her boyfriend in the locker room, Toby comes to her aid and the two bond. She begins to doubt he is behind Alison's murder and the texts, eventually revealing she is a lesbian to him. Emily forms a romantic relationship with Maya, later coming out to her conservative, militant parents. Although Emily's father takes the news well, Emily's mother is disappointed and confused which strains her relationship with Emily. Emily's mother discovers marijuana in Maya's bag, causing her parents to send her away to a camp for troubled youths. Toby is subsequently arrested for Alison's murder, but also reveals that he met Ali the night she vanished to thank her for getting him away from Jenna. It is revealed that Jenna had been sexually abusing Toby, which is what Alison saw the night of the prank.
The girls decide to hold a memorial for Alison; however, someone destroys the memorial and Emily becomes a suspect after she is photographed there by "-A". Detective Wilden accuses Emily of murdering Ali, outing her to the other girls. Aria struggles with the secret of her father's affair with a grad student before Ali disappeared. She attempts to tell her mother, but "-A" sends Ella a letter detailing the affair, as well as Aria's part in the whole thing. Aria's parents quickly separate, causing her younger brother, Mike, to act out. Wren and Spencer's flirtation eventually culminates in a passionate kiss, which Melissa witnesses. She breaks off her engagement to Wren, treating Spencer coldly and straining their relationship even further. Hanna's insecurities nearly cause her relationship with her popular boyfriend, Sean Ackard, to crash and burn.
In the following weeks, the girls' suspicions shifts to Noel Kahn, a popular boy who Alison had been friends with. Hanna's friendship with Mona is jeopardized by "-A" when they spread a rumor that Hanna had liposuction the summer she lost all the weight; Mona uninvites Hanna from her birthday party. While snooping in the woods, Hanna is ran down by "-A" in a car, putting her in the hospital. She reveals she saw Noel writing on the back of Ezra's car, having learned of his romantic relationship with Aria. Noel attempts to blackmail Ezra with the knowledge of their relationship, but "-A" frames him using the answers to numerous exams.
Sean ends his relationship with Hanna, after "-A" forces Hanna to dance with a nerdy year-book photographer Lucas at a school dance fundraiser. Melissa's former boyfriend, Ian Thomas, returns to town and elopes with Melissa, surprising their families and the girls. Hanna connects with bad boy Caleb Rivers, a tech genius and experienced hacker; the two later begin a romantic relationship, but Hanna ends things when she learns Caleb had been employed by Jenna to acquire information on Hanna and her friends. Emily is bullied by a homophobic girl on her swim team, Paige McCullers, who later reveals she is gay after giving Emily a heartfelt apology. The two begin seeing each other, but Emily ends things due to Paige's insecurities over her sexual orientation.
The girls receive a video from "-A" which reveals that Alison had been seeing Ian the summer she disappeared. They come to believe he is her killer, and with the help of Emily's neighbor and police officer, Garrett Reynolds, formulate a plan to blackmail him. However, Ian pays a stranger to go in his place. Spencer and Melissa are involved in a car accident, and Spencer is sent to the local church to recover Melissa's cell phone. She is confronted by Ian, who reveals he knows the girls were trying to blackmail him. He chases her through the church and to the bell tower, where he attempts to push Spencer to her death and make it look like a suicide. As Ian prepares to kill Spencer, a hooded figure appears and pushes Ian from the platform to the ground below.
Aria, Hanna, and Emily arrive at the church to comfort Spencer, having called the police on their way. The police and media converge on the church, and one of the officers reveals that no body has been found, leaving them stunned as they receive another text message from "-A" assuring them things are far from over.

Hanna is confused when she is told by her mother that Caleb was going to the festival to give her a letter before he left town. Mona tries covering it up but when she is having a mysterious phone call about Hanna's well-being, Lucas tells her she's wrong and Hanna deserves to be happy. Spencer buys a prepaid phone to tell Ian that they found the video and to come to the park with $10,000. Aria's mother has a get together with all of the teachers, but Aria is shocked to see Ezra's past love show up. Spencer is shunned when she cracks a joke about Melissa's baby's christening, but regrets it since the baby is just Ian's spawn, not Ian. Jenna is shown worrying about the repercussions of the video getting out into society, and it is revealed that she is secretly dating Garrett, who consoles her and promises to keep her safe. When Melissa (stood up at the church by Ian) senses something wrong and cannot find her phone, Spencer offers to drive her to the church to find her phone, but they get into a car accident, leaving Melissa's baby in danger. After Emily, Hanna, Aria, and Garrett go to the park to find Ian, a messenger shows up giving them the money instead of Ian.

Ian pushes Spencer but she latches onto his leg, screaming for help. A hooded figure comes up to them, and Ian questions why he/she is there. The figure pushes Ian, making him plummet to his death. When the police show up to get the body, they think the girls are lying because Ian is nowhere to be found. But without certain proof, they cannot justify that he was actually there attempting to murder Spencer. As the girls walk out of the church, still shaken about the near death experience, they receive a text from A stating, "It's not over until I say it is. Sleep tight while you still can, bitches. -A."
Development and production[edit]
Originally developed as a television series by book packaging company Alloy Entertainment, the idea was described as "Desperate Housewives for teens."[23] Alloy met with author Shepard, and gave her the property to develop into a book series.[23] With Alloy and Warner Horizon interested in producing a Pretty Little Liars television series for years, it was first planned for The WB in 2005 with a different writer.[24] The first novel was published by HarperTeen in October 2006.[25] In June 2008, Alloy noted that it was developing a Pretty Little Liars television pilot for ABC Family.[23] The novels are being adapted for television by I. Marlene King.[24]
Casting[edit]
ABC Family began casting for a Pretty Little Liars television pilot in October 2009.[24] Lucy Hale was cast as Aria Montgomery in the project,[24] followed by Troian Bellisario and Ian Harding (as Spencer Hastings and Ezra Fitz, respectively) in November 2009.[26] In December 2009 The Futon Critic confirmed the casting of Ashley Benson as Hanna Marin and Shay Mitchell as Emily Fields, as well as the addition of Laura Leighton as Ashley Marin, Alexis Denisof as Byron Montgomery, Bianca Lawson as Maya, as well as Jean Louisa Kelly and Nia Peeples.[27][28] The Hollywood Reporter also noted that Torrey DeVitto and Sasha Pieterse landed recurring roles in the pilot.[28]
The Alloy website later confirmed that Pieterse would be playing Alison DiLaurentis and DeVitto would be Melissa Hastings, also noting Janel Parrish as Mona Vanderwaal and Cody Allen Christian, as Mike Montgomery.[29] In April 2010, Chad Lowe replaced Alexis Denisof as Aria's father, Byron Montgomery.[30] Also in April, Holly Marie Combs was cast as Ella Montgomery.

Personal life[edit]
Settle was born in Hawaii, the eldest of five children of Susanne (née Riwai), who is of Māori descent from New Zealand, and British-born David Settle. She is a graduate of Kahuku High School (class of 1993), and an alumna of Southern Utah University.[1][2][3][4]
Career[edit]
Broadway[edit]
Settle made her Broadway debut in 2011 in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert as Shirley and in the ensemble.[3][5]
Settle originated the role of Norma Valverde in Hands on a Hardbody, a musical which ran briefly on Broadway in 2013, and is based on the 1997 documentary about real people competing to win a new truck. The TheatreMania reviewer wrote: "Settle, as Norma, steals every scene she's in. The spectacularly bizarre lead-in to her big number, 'Joy of the Lord,' is more difficult to pull off than most Shakespearean monologues, and her solo vocals reveal a soulful, oversized gospel range that drives the Holy Spirit straight to the back of the theater. When she tearfully realizes what her faith in God may have wrought, it stings like a chigger bite. Settle's touching performance should go on the shortlist for every Best Featured Actress prize in town."[6] For this role, Settle was nominated for the Outer Critics Circle, Drama Desk, and Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical.[7][8][9][10] Additionally, she was awarded the Theatre World Award for Outstanding Broadway or Off-Broadway debut performance during the 2012-13 theatrical season.[11]
Settle played the role of Madame Thenardier in the revival of Les Misérables, starting in March 2014,[12] and ending on March 1, 2015.[13]
Settle originated the role of Becky in the musical Waitress, which opened on Broadway on April 24, 2016, at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre after premiering at the American Repertory Theater in August 2015.[14]
Other work[edit]
Settle played the role of Tracy Turnblad in the national tour of Hairspray. In the review of the tour stop at the Kennedy Center in 2005, the Washington Post reviewer wrote: " As for Settle, she is a fine Tracy, even if she looks too old for graduate school, let alone high school."[15] She appeared in the national tour of the Lincoln Center production of South Pacific as Bloody Mary, starting in 2009.[16][17] The reviewer for the Pioneer Press, Massachusetts, wrote: "Better cast is Keala Settle, who plays the conniving Tonkinese trader lady Bloody Mary with a rolling gait, the venom of viper and—buried deeply but achingly visible in strategic moments—the maternal fierceness of a lioness."[18]
In November through December 2012, Settle played the role of Mrs. Fezziwig in the Pioneer Theatre Company (Salt Lake City) production of the musical A Christmas Carol.[19]
She played the role of the Narrator in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at the Ogunquit Playhouse, Ogunquit, Maine from July 31 to August 25, 2013.[20]
Settle performed in the Encores! concert staging of Violet on July 17, 2013 with Sutton Foster,[21] but did not move on to the Broadway revival due to taking the role Madame Thénardier in the revival of Les Misérables; she was replaced in Violet by Annie Golden.
Settle discussed her career path, noting that "...I really am not a musical theatre performer. I'm more an R&B singer and have been doing that my whole life. My mother is—well, was—also an R&B singer, in New Zealand....I was too busy wanting to sing backup or doing studio work singing chorus stuff, and singing backup for Gladys Knight in Vegas." Further, after her run in Hairspray, she stated that she "...didn't know how to live in that world..." and so for several years worked backstage with designers until she was cast in South Pacific.[22]
In 2017, Settle portrayed Lettie Lutz, a bearded lady, in the biographical musical drama film The Greatest Showman, alongside Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, and Zendaya. The song "This Is Me" from the film, principally sung by Settle, won the 2018 Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song.[23] On December 22, 2017, she released an extended play entitled Chapter One.[24]
In 2018, she was featured in "Forbidden", the newest Todrick Hall visual album, especially in the song called "Forbidden", a song against homophobia.
