Britney Spears was born in McComb, Mississippi, and raised in Kentwood, Louisiana as a Southern Baptist. Her parents are James Parnell Spears, a building contractor, and Lynne Irene Bridges, a former grade school teacher. Spears' brother Bryan, is one of her managers, and her sister Jamie-Lynn, is an actress and singer. Her maternal grandmother Lillian Woolmore was an English war-bride, who met Spears' maternal grandfather Barnett O'Field Bridges in England during World War II, and subsequently migrated with him to the United States. Her paternal grandparents were June Austin Spears and Emma Jean Forbes.
Spears was an accomplished gymnast, attending gymnastics classes until age nine and competing in state-level competitions. She performed in local dance revues and her local Baptist church choirs, and was auditioning for the Disney Channel The New Mickey Mouse Club by the time she was eight. Although she was considered too young to join the series at the time, a producer on the show introduced her to a New York City agent. Spears subsequently spent three summers at NYC's Professional Performing Arts School and also appeared in a number of off-Broadway productions, including 1991's Ruthless! In 1992 she landed a spot on Star Search, and though she won the first round, she lost in the second. Spears then returned to the Disney Channel for a spot on the New Mickey Mouse Club in Lakeland and was accepted.
