Hayden Panettiere
Biography
Born 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 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 Panettiere 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 (1998). After lending her voice to the Disney animated films A Bug's Life (1998) and Dinosaur (2000), Hayden won the role of a football coach's daughter in Disney's Remember the Titans -- arguably one of her most eminent roles.
Personal life
Panettiere with Heroes co-star and boyfriend Milo Ventimiglia
In 2006, Panettiere began dating Stephen Colletti, the former Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, star. The couple broke up in September 2007. In December 2007, it was widely reported that she was dating her Heroes costar Milo Ventimiglia, though Panettiere denied these reports in an interview with GQ. These reports continued through the early part of 2008, and several sources had reported that she asked Ventimiglia to move in with her. In April 2008, during an interview on the BBC's The Chris Moyles Show to promote the second season of Heroes, Ventimiglia confirmed that he is indeed dating Panettiere.
