Hayden Leslie Panettiere (born August 21, 1989[1]) is an American actress, singer, and a Grammy-award nominee. Hayden began appearing in commercials at 11 months old, first appearing in an advertisement for Playskool Toy Train.She later landed a role as Sarah Roberts on the ABC soap opera One Life to Live and later as the child Lizzie Spaulding on the CBS soap opera Guiding Light when she was eight years old. Hayden Panettiere played the role until 2001. In Guiding Light, for Hayden's character Lizzie's battle with leukemia, the show received a Special Recognition Award from the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for bringing national awareness of the disease to the attention of daytime viewers.She has appeared in over a dozen full-length feature films, as well as several made-for-TV movies. In addition, she had a leading role as the voice of Kairi in the highly successful Kingdom Hearts series of video games for the Playstation 2. She also had a starring role in FOX's Ally McBeal and a recurring guest role in Malcolm in the Middle. She guest starred in Law & Order: SVU. Panettiere currently stars as Claire Bennet in the NBC series Heroes as an invincible high school cheerleader. She will later appear in the drama film Fireflies in the Garden as a younger version of Emily Watson's character Jane Lawrence. Coincidentally, George Newbern, who played Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts II alongside Panettiere, will also appear in the film.
Neutrogena made her the cover girl for their new worldwide ad campaign; in this regard Panettiere followed in the footsteps of actresses Josie Bissett, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Mandy Moore, Kristin Kreuk, Mischa Barton, Gabrielle Union and Jennifer Freeman. She has auditioned for the role Jill Johnson in the movie When a Stranger Calls 2.
Panettiere was nominated for a Grammy in 1999 for Best Spoken Word Album for Children for A Bug's Life Read-Along [2000].Hayden is currently working on her debut album, which was originally planned for release on May 8, 2007. The album, however has been pushed back and is now expected to be released in August 2007 from Hollywood Records.
She was voted sixth on FHM's 100 Sexiest Women in 2007.Panettiere has become a regular on the science fiction convention circuit due to her role in Heroes. She has been invited to attend many popular conventions around the world in 2007, including New York Comic-Con and Fan Expo Canada.
Hayden is stunned to find herself a Hollywood sex symbol, because she started life as a tomboy. The Heroes star, 17, has quickly become a regular feature in men's magazines and an object of adolescent male's desires. But a few years ago she was wearing boy's clothes and playing football with the opposite sex. Panettiere says, "I was the one saying, 'C'mon, let's play football!', and my brother Jansen, who's five years younger, was the most delicate one. I remember going to school one day, looking at the boy beside me and saying, 'Oh, I have those trousers.' "He said, 'I'll never wear them again.' I told him, 'Don't worry - I shop in the boys' section."
Hayden also stated that she hates being called "the next Lindsay Lohan" - because she wants to be famous for acting and not partying. Like Lohan, the “Heroes” actress was a child star and acted in commercials before graduating to adult roles - but she insists that's where the comparison ends, according to Star Pulse.
"I don't have anything mean to say about Lindsay. The thing about this business is, when you're a young person - generally a young woman - you get pigeonholed. When you don't fall off your horse right away, people will try to knock you off," she said.
"For example, the other day I was walking out of a bar in Hollywood, El Scorpio, with some of my Heroes cast mates. Someone drove by and shouted, 'Give them hell, Lindsay!' I said, 'Please don't call me Lindsay.' It's sickening that people want to knock me down. They don't know me!"
