Biography
American actress Hayden Panettiere was born on August 21, 1989, in Palisades, New York. Hayden began her acting career at 11 months when she appeared in a commercial for Playskool, and she has appeared in over 50 commercials.
She is most known for her role of Lizzie Spaulding in the soap opera "Guiding Light," and she has had major roles in the feature films "Remember the Titans," "Joe Somebody" and "Racing Stripes." When Hayden is not acting she enjoys singing, dancing, horseback riding, gymnastics and swimming. Her nickname is Mushroom.
Though she was only 17, by the time Hayden Panettiere gained stardom as one of the leads on NBC's hit superhero drama Heroes, she'd already been acting for more than 16 years. After appearing in television commercials beginning at 11 months old, flaxen-haired Panettiere was cast as a regular on One Life to Live at five. She remained on the show for three years, before leaving for a stint on another soap, Guiding Light.
Hayden Panettiere stars in NBC's new ensemble drama series "Heroes" as Claire Bennet, a high school cheerleader in Odessa, Texas, who learns through trial-and-error that her flesh is indestructible. "Heroes" follows the lives of ordinary people who discover they possess extraordinary abilities.
Most recently, Panettiere starred in the independent film "The Architect" opposite Anthony LaPaglia and Isabella Rosselini which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, and "Mr. Gibb" for Kevin Spacey's company, Triggerstreet. She co-stars in the upcoming romantic dramedy "Shanghai Kiss," and this fall, will star as the lead in "Bring it On: All or Nothing," the sequel to Universal's box office hit.
Training rigorously and executing her own stunts, she dazzled audiences in her role as a competitive ice skater in "Ice Princess" and recorded "I Fly" for the film's soundtrack. Her spitfire characters in both "Joe Somebody" as Tim Allen's daughter and "Remember the Titans" with Denzel Washington helped to establish her as a unique talent. Her other film credits include "Raising Helen," directed by Garry Marshall; "Message In a Bottle" with Kevin Costner; "Object of My Affection" with Jennifer Aniston; and "The Affair of the Necklace" with Hilary Swank.
Panettiere starred in the Lifetime original movie "Lies My Mother Told Me" opposite Joely Richardson and in The Disney Channel's acclaimed "Tiger Cruise," based on the true events of September 11th. Her HBO film, "Normal," opposite Jessica Lange and Tom Wilkinson and directed by Jane Anderson, premiered at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival.
Panettiere's voice is as recognizable as her face. She embodied the challenging leading role as a jockey in "Racing Stripes," opposite the voices of Dustin Hoffman and Whoopi Goldberg. She also starred in Disney's animated features "A Bug's Life" as Princess Dot and "Dinosaurs" as Suri. Her work for "A Bug's Life Read-A-Long" garnered her a Grammy nomination for Best Spoken Word Album, as well as a nomination for The Hollywood Reporter's Young Star Award for Best Young Voiceover Talent.
Adding to her accomplishments, Panettiere has been named the new face of Neutrogena. She recently received Movieline's Hollywood Life Magazine's Young Hollywood Exciting New Face/ Female Award for 2005. She also has been spending time in the recording studio working on her own debut CD through Hollywood Records.
She is an ambassador, along with fellow ambassadors Nelson Mandela and Queen Noor, for the ICUN Wildlife Foundation, an organization that helps raise funds to support and save endangered species. As of late, she has joined forces with Pierce Brosnan to save the whales through the Whaleman Foundation.
