Hayden Leslie Panettiere (born
August 21, 1989) is an American actress and singer. She came to
professional prominence at the age of eleven with her portrayal of Sheryl
Yoast in Disney's Remember the Titans, although for half of her life
immediately before that, Panettiere had held roles in two soap operas. She
portrayed Sarah Roberts on One Life to Live from 1994-1997, and Lizzie
Spaulding on Guiding Light from 1996-2000. Panettiere reached a wider
audience with her starring role as Claire Bennet on the 2006 NBC
television series Heroes.
Panettiere was born and partly raised in Palisades, Rockland County, New
York, the daughter of Lesley R. Vogel, a former soap opera actress, and
Alan L. "Skip" Panettiere, a fire department lieutenant. Panettiere, whose
surname means "baker" in Italian, is of Italian descent. She has one
younger brother, fellow actor Jansen Panettiere.
Although Panettiere attended South Orangetown Middle School in New York,
she was educated at home from the 8th grade through high school. For now,
Panettiere is postponing higher education in favor of an acting career.
Panettiere began modeling when she was four months old. She first appeared
in commercials at 11 months, beginning with an advertisement for
Playskool. She landed a role as Sarah Roberts on the ABC soap opera One
Life to Live (1994-1997), and she followed that up by playing the part of
Lizzie Spaulding on the CBS soap opera Guiding Light (1997-2000). While on
Guiding Light, Panettiere's character Lizzie battled leukemia. For drawing
the attention of daytime viewers to the disease, and for improving
national awareness, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society gave her its Special
Recognition Award.[
Panettiere appears as Claire Bennet in the NBC series Heroes as a high
school cheerleader with regenerative healing powers. Thanks to her role on
Heroes, she became a regular on the science fiction convention circuit,
invited to attend conventions around the world in 2007, including GenCon,
New York Comic-Con, and Fan Expo Canada. Panettiere has complained that
her acting options are sometimes limited because "people look at as either
the 'popular cheerleader' type or just 'the blonde'."
She has appeared in over a dozen full-length feature films, several
made-for-TV movies and provided the voice for Dot in A Bug's Life. She
played the role of Coach Yoast's daughter, Sheryl, in the 2000 Disney film
Remember The Titans. In addition, she voiced Kairi in the Kingdom Hearts
series of video games for the PlayStation 2. Panettiere appeared on Fox's
Ally McBeal as Ally McBeal's daughter, and had a recurring guest role on
Malcolm in the Middle and guest starred in Law & Order: SVU. She starred
in Bring It On: All or Nothing as a cheerleader and had a supporting role
as Adelaide Bourbon in the recently released independent film Shanghai
Kiss. She appeared in the Disney Channel film Tiger Cruise, playing the
main role of a Navy brat, in Raising Helen, as the adolescent niece and in
Ice Princess, as a popular student and rival skater.
She appeared in the drama film Fireflies in the Garden as a younger
version of Emily Watson's character, Jane Lawrence. In June 2007, she
signed with the William Morris Agency, after previously being represented
by United Talent Agency. Forbes estimated that she earned $2 million in
2007.
In early 2007, Panettiere appeared on the syndicated Ashton
Kutcher-produced show, Punk'd. The appearance was engineered by her mother
and involved a male "fan" discussing her work with her, instigating a
jealous reaction from the man's spouse. In December 2007 Panettiere was
named GQ Magazine's Obsession Of the Year.
In September 2008, Panettiere appeared in a satirical video, a mock-PSA
(public service announcement) on funnyordie.com entitled "Hayden
Panettiere PSA: Your Vote, Your Choice". Again, in October, Panettiere
appeared in another satirical PSA video on funnyordie.com entitled "Vote
for McCain: He's just like George Bush, except older and with a worse
temper".
In July 2009, Panettiere starred in the teen comedy I Love You, Beth
Cooper. She is listed as a star in the provisional cast of a teenage
comedy still in development, Daydream Nation, to be written and directed
by Michael Goldbach.
Panettiere was nominated for a Grammy in 1999 for A Bug's Life Read-Along
(2000). She recorded a song called "My Hero Is You" with a video for the
Disney Channel movie she starred in, Tiger Cruise. She recorded a song
titled "I Fly" for the Disney movie Ice Princess in which she co-starred.
She recorded a song for the compilation Girlnext and another song for
Girlnext 2. She also recorded a cover for DisneyMania 5. She recorded a
song titled "Try" for the 2007 Bridge to Terabithia soundtrack and a
ballad called "I Still Believe" for Cinderella III: A Twist in Time.
Panettiere's first single, "Wake Up Call", was digitally released on
August 5, 2008. Candie's premiering an ad campaign for the single in late
July. Candie's will also provide additional promotion for the single with
a television advertisement and a music video
In 2006, Panettiere began dating Stephen Colletti, the former Laguna
Beach: The Real Orange County, star. The couple broke up in September
2007. In December 2007, it was widely reported that she was dating her
Heroes co-star Milo Ventimiglia, though Panettiere denied these reports in
an interview with GQ. These reports continued through the early part of
2008, and several sources had reported that she asked Ventimiglia to move
in with her. In April 2008, during an interview on the BBC's The Chris
Moyles Show to promote the second season of Heroes, Ventimiglia confirmed
that he was dating Panettiere. They ended their relationship in February
2009.
Hayden has a tattoo of the Italian words Vivere senza rimipianti running
down the length of her left flank. The word rimpianti is misspelled in
what otherwise would have meant "To Live Without Regrets." |
