History Creator / HaydenPanettiere

** ''{{Series/Nashville}}'' almost had a reunion with her and one of her ''Heroes'' co-stars, as Jack Coleman auditioned; however, Panettiere had already been cast and the producers didn't want their previous gig to get in the way. Ironically, they ended up getting this anyway by casting Burgess Jenkins from ''Film/RememberTheTitans'' as Juliette's producer - and one of the men she beds.

Panettiere was known for her roles on the soap operas ''Series/OneLifeToLive'' and ''Series/GuidingLight'' and for her work in Disney films (most famously ''WesternAnimation/ABugsLife'' and ''Film/RememberTheTitans'', though she was never a big-name Disney star) before her StarMakingRole as Claire Bennet on ''{{Series/Heroes}}'' turned her into a star, and a [[TeenIdol heartthrob for teenage boys]]. Since then, she continued to do voiceover work (for projects ranging from ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' to ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' to ''WesternAnimation/HoodwinkedTooHoodVersusEvil'') and live-action roles (''Film/AmandaKnoxMurderOnTrialInItaly'', ''Film/{{Scream 4}}'', ''Series/{{Nashville}}''). She took a hiatus from on-screen work for a number of years, and made her first appearance back in ''Film/ScreamVI'', reprising her role from ''Scream 4''.

* TimeShiftedActor: ''Film/TheAffairOfTheNecklace'' (the young Hilary Swank), ''Fireflies In The Garden'' (young Emily Watson), ''Too Rich: The Secret Life Of Doris Duke'' (young Lauren Bacall), and most particularly ''Film/RememberTheTitans'' and ''Film/IfYouBelieve''.

* ContraltoOfDanger: She has a very deep voice.

* OldShame: While she's yet to indicate any regret over anything she's done in her day job, "[[http://www.vulture.com/2013/05/hayden-panettiere-on-nashville-season-two.html (at) the mention of her one legitimate]] (non-''{{Series/Nashville}}''-related) [[http://www.vulture.com/2013/05/hayden-panettiere-on-nashville-season-two.html single, 2008’s reggae-lite “Wake Up Call,” she covers her eyes in shame.]]

* CreatorBacklash: She is in no way proud of "Wake Up Call."

She took a hiatus from on-screen work for a number of years, but is due to make her first appearance back in the upcoming ''Film/ScreamVI'', reprising her role from ''Scream 4''.

* AndStarring: "Abuse" (the first of her two ''Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'' episodes), ''If You Believe'' and ''The Forger'' (although the [[http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/518O6fwTXGL.jpg DVD cover for the latter]] has her [[BillingDisplacement second to]] [[{{Film/TheHungerGames}} Josh Hutcherson]]).

Panettiere became the mother of Kaya Evdokia Klitschko on December 9, 2014 with her then-husband Wladimir Klitschko. She voluntarily checked herself into treatment for postpartum depression in October 2015 -- and returned to treatment in May 2016, seeking healthier ways of dealing with it (which some fans suspect contributed in ABC's cancellation of ''Nashville''). She divorced Klitschko in 2018, and began dating Brian Hickerson. Unfortunately, the pair split in 2020 after Hickerson was arrested on charges consistent with domestic abuse. Panettiere issued a statement in the wake of the news calling for other domestic violence survivors to come forward with their stories; she has reportedly remained friends with Hickerson since he was released from jail.

* CastIncest: Trivia time. She dated Creator/MiloVentimiglia--her onscreen uncle--during the run of ''{{Series/Heroes}}.''

** Has lent her pipes to the music for (and been on the soundtrack albums for) several of her films (''Film/TigerCruise'', ''Film/TheDustFactory'', ''Shanghai Kiss'', ''Film/IcePrincess'', ''WesternAnimation/HoodwinkedTooHoodVersusEvil'') and also two she doesn't appear in (''Literature/BridgeToTerabithia'' - another one where she's also on the album - and ''WesternAnimation/CinderellaIIIATwistInTime''). In her ''Film/BringItOn'' movie (see below), one of her songs is playing in the background [[spoiler: of the scene where she's hiding from her jerk boyfriend and mouthing "Asshole," although the latter is sometimes cut from TV airings]].

** She shows off her ice skating skills in ''The Dust Factory'' and ''Ice Princess'' (she does most of her own skating in the latter).

* VocalDissonance: Her short stature and youthful appearance are a noticeable contrast to her surprisingly deep voice.

** She and Creator/NicoleKidman were due to play the roles in ''Film/PanicRoom'' that were taken by Creator/JodieFoster and Creator/KristenStewart (Kidman became TheOtherMarty, and Hayden was replaced before filming began).

Hayden Leslie Panettiere was born on August 21, 1989 in Palisades, New York, to a firefighter father and an actress mother, and was steered into the latter profession at an early age (think months). Panettiere was known for her roles on the soap operas ''Series/OneLifeToLive'' and ''Series/GuidingLight'' and for her Disney work (most famously ''WesternAnimation/ABugsLife'' and ''Film/RememberTheTitans'' - though she was never a real Disney star, which may have been for the best) before her StarMakingRole as Claire Bennet on ''{{Series/Heroes}}'' turned her into a [[TeenIdol heartthrob for teenage boys]] - and their fathers (and possibly ''their'' fathers).

Fun-loving, flirty and [[FriendToAllLivingThings fond of animals]], she's continued to do voiceover work (for projects ranging from ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' to ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' to ''WesternAnimation/HoodwinkedTooHoodVersusEvil'') and to do roles that remind people as little of cheerleaders as possible (''Film/AmandaKnoxMurderOnTrialInItaly'', ''Film/{{Scream 4}}'', ''Series/{{Nashville}}''); she also has, by her own admission, a fondness for older men (hence her relationships with ''Heroes'' co-star Milo Ventimiglia and boxer Wladimir Klitschko - a case of LifeImitatesArt[[note]] see the "Jessica Stays Over" episode of ''Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle'' and the movie ''Shanghai Kiss''[[/note]]) and tattoos, though to a [[Music/{{Pink}} lesser]] [[Music/LadyGaga extent]] [[Creator/MeganFox than]] [[Creator/AngelinaJolie some]]. Oh, and she's likely very grateful to Creator/ElizaDushku for [[http://www.celebitchy.com/177772/eliza_dushku_tells_the_daily_mail_to_suck_it_after_they_question_hayden_panettiere/ calling out]] ''[[UsefulNotes/BritishNewspapers The Daily Mail]]'' after they [[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2030713/Hayden-Panettiere-charges-30-autograph-fan-convention.html dissed her]] (again).

After a crapload of fakes, [[https://twitter.com/haydenpanettier the real Hayden is now on Twitter]]. And while she has yet to be the subject of a OneWomanSong, [[https://twitter.com/HaydenOhMyTexas there is a band who named themselves in her honour]].

Demonstrating to even her most in-denial fans that SheIsAllGrownUp, Hayden became the mother of Kaya Evdokia Klitschko on December 9, 2014 with her then-husband Wladimir Klitschko. Sadly, she voluntarily checked herself into treatment for postpartum depression in October 2015--and returned to treatment in May 2016, seeking healthier ways of dealing with it (which some fans suspect contributed in ABC's cancellation of ''Series/{{Nashville}}''). It was her last credited role since then. She divorced Klitschko in 2018, and dated Brian Hickerson. Unfortunately, the pair split over his abuse toward her in 2020. Hayden, who had already advocated for environmental causes, called for other domestic violence survivors to come forward with their stories.

* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Given that she's only about five feet tall, pretty much all her onscreen relationships fall into this by default. Her real-life husband, Wladimir Klitschko, stood at 6'6, a whopping ''foot and a half'' taller and with the build of a heavyweight champion boxer to match.

* DawsonCasting: Averted through most of her time on ''{{Series/Heroes}}''; inverted with ''Film/IcePrincess'' (shot when she was 14; she plays a teenage skater in the same grade as 17-year-old Casey, who's played by then-18 Michelle Trachtenberg); not averted at all for ''Film/{{Scream 4}}'',''VideoGame/UntilDawn'', or the first and second ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' games.
