Hayden Panettiere Flux Model

Hayden Lesley Panettiere, born August 21, 1989, in Palisades, NY, is an American actress, singer, and activist, best known for playing indestructible cheerleader Claire Bennet and conniving country singer Juliette Barnes on the hit television series "Heroes" and "Nashville," respectively. Panettiere won critical acclaim for both portrayals, particularly the latter, for which she received consecutive Golden Globe nominations. 

Panettiere's career began at just 11 months old, when she appeared in a Playskool commercial. In 1994, she made her formal acting debut on the soap opera "One Life to Life,” ultimately remaining on the show for three years. Panettiere followed this with a role on another soap, "Guiding Light," before making the jump to the big screen in films such as "A Bug's Life" (2000), "Remember the Titans" (2000), "Raising Helen" (2004), "Ice Princess" (2005), "Bring It On: All or Nothing" (2006)," and "I Love You, Beth Cooper" (2009). She starred in "Scream 4" (2011) and "Scream VI" (2023), with her character, horror aficionado Kirby Reed, surviving both films. She has also appeared on numerous television shows, including "Ally McBeal," "Touched by an Angel," "Malcolm in the Middle," and "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," and voiced characters in the video games "Kingdom Hearts" and "After Dawn."

Panettiere ventured into music by appearing on various soundtracks - including "A Bug's Life," which garnered her a Grammy nomination - and compilations. In 2008, she began working on a pop album and released the single "Wake Up Call" in partnership with clothing/makeup brand Candies, which sponsored the music video.  However, Panettiere eventually scrapped the album, stating that she didn't identify with the material.   While starring on "Nashville," Panettiere recorded and performed many songs, all of which were released digitally. Two "Best of Juliette Barnes" albums, housing most of Panettiere's tracks from the show, were also issued.  

Panettiere has been a vocal supporter of many different causes, especially animal rights and conservation efforts.  Additionally, she has been open about her struggles with postpartum depression, domestic , and substance abuse.
