Shine Great Neck South High School, and took part in productions such as “Sweeney Todd”, “Les Miserables”, and starred in the title role in the opera “Carmen”.
Before rising to stardom, Blonsky worked in the “Cold Stone” creamery. However, in 2007 she won the role of Tracy Turnblad in the musical film “Hairspray”, the real start of her net worth.

She has since performed with celebrities such as Queen Latifah, Zac Efron, Elijah Kelley, Brittany Snow and Allison Janney. Her net worth was beginning to rise.
