Dove Cameron doesn’t like to speak about her dad, who tragically died when she was 15. But she promises to make a film about him one day.
Phillip was a son of Philippe and Florence Hosterman. He was one of three kids in the family and has a sister Mary and a brother Michael. He earned his living as a jeweler and was a Peace Corps volunteer. The man founded Kandahar Trading Company, a fashion, and jewelry brand. During many years Phillip was married to Bonnie Wallace (they tied a knot in Peshawar, Pakistan in 1988) and fathered her two daughters – Chloe (Dove) and Claire. He encouraged his girls to love music, and accompanied them on the piano, while they were singing. In his young years, he was a musician.

The man was rumored to be gay. He died through suicide in autumn, 2011. His daughter tells that he was a kind and sensitive person, but had bursts of anger from time to time. Dove misses him so much, devotes him sweet posts on Instagram, and has even changed her name for “Dove” as a tribute to her late father.

Dove Cameron, whose birth name is Chloe Celeste Hosterman, is known as a Disney star. She rose to fame after creating great female characters in the shows “Shameless”, “Austin & Ally”, “Liv and Maddie” and others.
She is American, but the girl has Slovak, Russian, Hungarian and French roots. She is fluent in French, because her paternal great-grandmother lived in France, and Dove visited this country very often in her early years.
Her parents divorced when she was in her teens, but she was in good terms with her father, who named her “Dove”. After his death, she officially changed the name “Chloe” for “Dove”.
The girl studied at Burbank High School, but she has no good memories of studying there. From the fifth grade, classmates humiliated, harassed and intimidated her, locked up in a closet and got her clothes dirty. The girl was able to make peace with bad memories only because of her passion for acting. From 8 years old she performed in a theater and dreamed about big screen projects. When she turned 14 years old, the dream came true – her family moved to Los Angeles, and she won her first role in Disney series “Bits and Pieces”. Later the series was renamed “Liv and Maddie”, and Dove won two main roles of the twin sisters Liv and Maddie Rooney, who looked alike, but had completely different characters. A pilot episode, released in 2013, was watched by 5, 8 million viewers. That was a success, and it put Dove’s career to the next level. She is an aspiring young actress as for now with an extensive fan base.
