Hayden Leslie Panettiere (/ˌpænɨtiˈɛər/; born August 21, 1989)[1] is an American actress, model, singer, voice actress, and activist. She began her acting career by playing Sarah Roberts on One Life to Live (1994–97), and Lizzie Spaulding on Guiding Light (1996–2000), before starring at age 10 as Sheryl Yoast in the Disney feature film Remember the Titans. Her most notable role to date is that of cheerleader Claire Bennet on the NBC series Heroes (2006–10), for which she won several awards. Other recent roles include her portrayal of the title character in true crime drama Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy and Kirby Reed in the slasher film Scream 4. In October 2012, she began starring as Juliette Barnes in the ABC musical drama series Nashville, for which she was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress – Series, Miniseries or Television Film in 2012.[2]
Early life
Panettiere was born in and partly raised in Palisades, New York, the daughter of Lesley R. Vogel, a former soap opera actress, and Alan Lee "Skip" Panettiere, a fire department captain. She has one younger brother, fellow actor Jansen Panettiere.[3][4][5] Panettiere has Italian and German[6] ancestry. Her surname means "baker" in Italian and her mother's maiden name means "bird" in German.[7][8] Her mother's family is from Indiana.[9][10]
Although Panettiere attended South Orangetown Middle School in New York, she was homeschooled from grade nine to the completion of high school.[11]
Career
Acting
Television
Panettiere first appeared in commercials at 11 months, beginning with an advertisement for a Playskool toy train.[12] She landed a role as Sarah Roberts on the ABC soap opera One Life to Live from 1994 to 1997, which was followed by Lizzie Spaulding on the CBS soap opera Guiding Light in 1996, and again from 1997 to 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 Leukaemia & Lymphoma Society gave her its Special Recognition Award.[13]
For her performance in Lifetime Television's 1999 TV movie If You Believe, she was nominated for the Young Artist Award for Young Actress Age Ten or Under in the category of Best Performance in a TV Movie or Pilot.[14] Panettiere appeared on Fox's Ally McBeal as the title character's daughter, had a recurring guest role on Malcolm in the Middle and guest starred in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit in two different roles.
Panettiere with Heroes co-star Milo Ventimiglia
Panettiere became most prominent as Claire Bennet in the NBC series Heroes, which was created by Tim Kring, 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 Gen Con, New York Comic Con, and Fan Expo Canada.
Panettiere has complained that her acting options are sometimes limited
because "people look at [her] as either the 'popular cheerleader' type
or just 'the blonde.'"[15]
In early 2007, Panettiere appeared on the MTV 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 April 2012, she hosted an episode of the new series.
In March 2012, it was announced Panettiere had been cast opposite Connie Britton on the ABC musical drama series Nashville. She portrays Juliette Barnes.[16][17] In May 2012, ABC bought the pilot as a series.[18] The series reunites Panettiere with Burgess Jenkins from Remember the Titans, and has been renewed for a second season.
Films
Panettiere has appeared in over a dozen full-length feature films, having her debut in A Bug's Life.[19] In 1999, she portrayed the girl on a sinking sailboat in Message In A Bottle. She played the role of Coach Yoast's daughter, Sheryl, in the 2000 Disney film Remember the Titans. She also starred in Bring It On: All or Nothing as a cheerleader and had a supporting role as Adelaide Bourbon in the independent film Shanghai Kiss. In 2004, she appeared in the Disney Channel film Tiger Cruise, and in Raising Helen as Kate Hudson's adolescent niece. In 2005, she was the title character's rival in a skating contest in Ice Princess. In the same year she starred in the film Racing Stripes where she played the character Channing Walsh.
Panettiere in London, England, in 2007
In June 2007, she signed with the William Morris Agency, after previously being represented by United Talent Agency.[20] Forbes estimated that she earned $2 million in 2007.[21]
In 2008, Panettiere appeared in the drama Fireflies in the Garden as a younger version of Emily Watson's character, Jane Lawrence. In September 2008, she appeared in a satirical video, a mock-PSA (public service announcement) on funnyordie.com titled "Hayden Panettiere PSA: Your Vote, Your Choice".[22] In October, Panettiere appeared in another satirical PSA video on funnyordie.com titled "Vote for McCain: He's just like George Bush, except older and with a worse temper".[23]
In July 2009, Panettiere starred in the teen comedy I Love You, Beth Cooper. In September 2010, she was signed to star as Amanda Knox in the controversial Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy.[24] Panettiere also provided the voice of Kate, along-side Justin Long in 2010's Alpha and Omega.[25]
In April 2011, Panettiere appeared in the Scream sequel, Scream 4,
playing Kirby Reed, a role in which she received acclaim for and was
considered to be a highlight of the film, which received mixed reviews
itself. The same year she replaced Anne Hathaway as the voice of Red for the animated sequel Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil. In 2012 The Forger, in which she played the role of Amber, was released direct to DVD (both this and Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil were made in 2009).
Video games
Panettiere voiced Kairi in Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II. While she was replaced by Alyson Stoner in Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, she reprises her role in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and also voices Xion in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance.[26]
Singing
Panettiere was nominated for a Grammy in 1999 for A Bug's Life Read-Along (2000).[27] In 2004, she recorded a song entitled "My Hero Is You" with a video for the Disney Channel film she starred in, Tiger Cruise, and "Someone Like You," a duet with Watt White for another film of hers, The Dust Factory (also with an accompanying video). The next year she recorded a song entitled "I Fly" for the Disney film Ice Princess in which she also co-starred. She recorded a song for the Hollywood Records compilation Girl Next (2006) and another song entitled "Go to Girl" for Girl Next 2 (2007). Also in 2007, she recorded a cover for "Cruella De Vil" for DisneyMania 5, "Try" for the 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. The clothing brand Candie's
announced that it was premiering an ad campaign for the single in late
July. Similarly, Candie's would also provide additional promotion for
the single with a television advertisement and a music video.[28]
She has recorded several songs for Nashville, released as singles and on the show's soundtrack albums.
In 2013, she recorded a version of "The Fabric of My Life" for a Cotton Incorporated campaign.[29]
Modeling
In late 2006, Neutrogena made Panettiere the cover girl for their new worldwide ad campaign;[30] following in the footsteps of actresses Kristin Kreuk, Josie Bissett, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Mandy Moore, Mischa Barton, Gabrielle Union and Jennifer Freeman. In September 2007, Panettiere appeared in a Heroes-themed Got Milk? ad for which the photographs were shot by Annie Leibovitz.[31] In February 2008, Kohl's announced that Panettiere would be their next Candie's spokesperson.[32]
Personal life
Panettiere dated her Heroes co-star Milo Ventimiglia from December 2007 to February 2009.[33][34] Panettiere met heavyweight boxing world-champion Wladimir Klitschko in 2009 at a mutual acquaintance's party, and they soon began dating.[35] Panettiere was ringside for Klitschko's knockout victory over Samuel Peter on September 11, 2010.[36]
In May 2011, Panettiere announced that she and Klitschko had broken up
amicably after two years together. Both cited the long-distance nature
of their relationship as the reason, and said they would remain close
friends.[37] Panettiere subsequently dated NFL player Scotty McKnight[38]
from June 2011 to December 2012. Panettiere confirmed reports that she
and Klitschko had resumed their romantic relationship in an April 2013
interview.[35] In October 2013, she announced her engagement to Klitschko,[39] which had been rumored since the summer.[40]
Panettiere has a tattoo of the Italian words Vivere senza rimipianti [sic] running down her left side. The word rimpianti
is misspelled in what otherwise would mean "Living Without Regrets"; in
August 2013 she began laser treatment to have the tattoo removed.[41][42] She followed a vegetarian diet while she starred in Heroes
but has since added chicken and fish to her diet, stating that she
"didn't respond well" to a vegetarian diet, and she had "low-energy".[43][44][45]
Activism
Panettiere at the Fan Expo 2011 in Toronto, Canada
In 2007, Panettiere became an official supporter of Ronald McDonald House Charities and is a member of their celebrity board, called the Friends of RMHC.[46]
On October 31, 2007, Panettiere joined with The Whaleman Foundation to try to disrupt the annual dolphin hunt in Taiji, Wakayama,
Japan. She was involved in a confrontation between Japanese fishermen
and five other surfers from Australia and the United States (including
former Home and Away star Isabel Lucas)
of the group. The confrontation lasted more than 10 minutes before the
surfers were forced to return to the beach, after which they left the
country.[47] Parts of the confrontation can be seen on the award-winning Sundance Film Festival documentary film, The Cove. The fishermen consider the condemnation as an attack on their culture.[48]
Panettiere told E! News that an arrest warrant
has been issued in Japan for her interference in the dolphin hunt, but
her claim was later dismissed by the Japanese Fisheries Agency.[49][50] In November 2007, she was awarded the "Compassion in Action Award" from the animal rights group PETA for her efforts to stop the dolphin hunt in Japan.[51]
On January 28, 2008, Panettiere handed a letter of protest to the Norwegian
ambassador in the United States arguing that Norway should stop its
hunt for whales. She also delivered a letter to the Japanese ambassador
calling for the end of Japan's hunting of whales. At a 2007 Greenpeace event in Anchorage, Alaska, Panettiere defended aboriginal
whaling, saying that there is a difference between commercial whaling
and the whaling practiced by aboriginal tribes in the United States.[52]
In May 2008, Panettiere was involved in an eBay
auction to benefit Save the Whales Again, a campaign of The Whaleman
Foundation. The auction included tickets to a fundraising dinner hosted
at the Hollywood restaurant Beso, owned by Eva Longoria, and a whale watching tour, with Panettiere, off the coast of Santa Barbara.[53] The same month, during an interview with Teen Vogue, Panettiere explained how her fame gives her a platform for her activism: "The show [Heroes] put me in a place to speak for things that I'm passionate about."[54]
In September 2008, Panettiere launched her own line of calfskin leather bags for the company Dooney & Bourke.[55] In October 2008, Panettiere delved into the presidential election, releasing a public service announcement through the website Funny or Die. In this video Panettiere mocked Republican candidate John McCain for his age and temper.[56] She subsequently made clear her intention to vote for Barack Obama, and urged other young people to vote.[57]
Panettiere also appeared in a public service announcement with DC Shadow Senator Paul Strauss endorsing voting rights for the District of Columbia.[58] She is also a teen ambassador for the Candie's Foundation, whose mission is to prevent teen pregnancy. On May 6, 2009, she participated in a town hall meeting in New York City alongside Bristol Palin and Major League Baseball pitcher Matt Garza on the issue of teen pregnancy.[59]
