Hayden Panettiere BIO

Hayden Panettiere (born August 21st, 1989) may have become everyone's favorite cheerleader in 2006 when she starred as Claire Bennet in the hit TV show "Heroes", but her career had already been flying high for over a decade.  Her career began in commercials until she landed a role as Sarah Roberts on the soap "One Life to Live" in 1994.  She later would play the role of Lizzie Spaulding on the soap "Guiding Light" from 1997-2001, and in 1998, she supplied the voice of the animated character Dot in Pixar's A Bug's Life.  She has guest starred in several popular TV shows from 2001-2005 such as "Law & Order: SVU" and "Malcolm in the Middle".  Hayden Panettiere has also lit up the big screen in the movies Remember the Titans (2000) with Denzel Washington, Raising Helen (2004) with Kate Hudson, Racing Stripes (2005) and the direct to video smash hit Bring It On: All or Nothing (2006).  Hayden Panettiere's most recent film projects include Fireflies in the Garden (2008) with Ryan Reynolds, the Chris Columbus directed comedy I Love You, Beth Cooper (2009) and the animated adventure Alpha and Omega (2010).  Hayden Panettiere is also a talented singer, having released the singles "Your New Girlfriend" and "Go To Girl" from her much anticipated album Falling Down.
