Biography of Hayden PanettiereBorn in Palisades, New York, on August 21, 1989, Hayden Panettiere did not wait long to begin her career. When she was just 11 months old, her mother got her a part in a commercial for Playskool toys. By the time she was just over 4 -- and with almost 50 commercial appearances under her belt -- Hayden was chosen for a role on the soap opera One Life to Live, which she kept until 1997.
During that stint, Hayden became a more seasoned actress, with roles on Guiding Light, the miniseries A Will of Their Own, and the film The Object of My Affection. After lending her voice to the Disney animated films A Bug's Life and Dinosaur, Hayden won the role of a football coach's daughter in Disney's Remember the Titans, arguably her most eminent role to date.
Though still very young, the mature actress adapted well to her already successful career. In 2001, she appeared in The Affair of the Necklace, starring Hilary Swank, and the comedy Joe Somebody, starring Tim Allen.
Hayden went back to television for Ally McBeal in 2002 and the made-for-TV movie Tiger Cruise in 2004, but established herself as a film actress with roles in 2004's Raising Helen (starring Kate Hudson), The Dust Factory and 2005's Ice Princess. The future looks more than promising for this former child star, as she is listed as the main draw for the 2006 films All Fall Down and The Shanghai Kid.
