7Hayden Leslie Panettiere is an American actress, model and singer. She 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).
8
9Panettiere 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 role as Claire Bennet on ''{{Series/Heroes}}'' [[StarMakingRole turned her into a star]], and [[TeenIdol a 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''.
10
11Panettiere 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. However, 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.

60----
61!!This actress contains examples of:
62* TheAlcoholic: She [[https://people.com/tv/hayden-panettiere-opens-up-opioid-addiction-alcoholism/ revealed in 2022]] that she has struggled with alcoholism and opioid addiction since her teen years, reaching her worst point due to her struggles with postpartum depression, and it got so bad she risked dying from liver damage before she eventually went to rehab and got sober.
63* AmicableExes: She and her husband Wladimir Klitschko have divorced but remain on good terms and are both active in their daughter's life.
64* AndStarring:
65** "Abuse" (the first of her two ''Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'' episodes)
66** ''Film/IfYouBelieve''
67** 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]]).
68** she gets a "With" on ''Film/ScreamVI''.
69* BillingDisplacement:
70** Despite being first billed among the non-Scooby regulars in the credits for ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndTheGoblinKing'', her character Fairy Princess Willow doesn't have much screen time or [[TheVoiceless any dialogue]] until the climax.
71** She has top billing on the DVD packaging for ''Film/TheDustFactory'', but she's second-billed to Armin Mueller-Stahl on the movie's credits. Meanwhile, Ryan Kelley (who plays the main character) is second-billed on the packaging and third-billed in the credits.
72* CastIncest: Trivia time. She dated Creator/MiloVentimiglia – her onscreen uncle – during the run of ''{{Series/Heroes}}.''
73* TheCastShowoff:
74** She 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]].
75** She sings in ''Series/{{Nashville}}'', because she plays a country singer (see also NonSingingVoice).
76** She shows off her ice skating skills in ''Film/TheDustFactory'' and ''Film/IcePrincess'', [[NoStuntDouble doing most of her own skating in the latter]].
77* CelebrityVoiceActor: As child (''WesternAnimation/{{Dinosaur}}'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Fillmore}}'', ''WesternAnimation/ABugsLife''), adult (''WesternAnimation/AlphaAndOmega'', ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'', ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad''), and both (''Franchise/KingdomHearts'').
78* CoverVersion:
79** Recorded a version of "Cruella de Vil" for the album ''Disneymania 5'' (although she was never a Creator/DisneyChannel star like Hilary Duff et al - her only album for the Mouse [[DevelopmentHell hasn't been released]], and while other Disney stars did Original Movies involving lighthearted japes, hers involved [[Film/TigerCruise 9/11]]!).
80** The ''Series/{{Nashville}}'' Christmas album ''Christmas With Nashville'' has her doing "White Christmas."
81** In season four she does a duet of "Crazy" with [[Music/{{Aerosmith}} Steven Tyler]] (no, not ''that'' "Crazy" - the one popularized by Patsy Cline), and alongside [[Series/{{Smash}} Will Chase]] she demonstrates that [[Music/JoanJett she don't give a damn 'bout her bad reputation]].
82* CreatorBacklash: She is in no way proud of "Wake Up Call." Or [[Film/BringItOn the krumping]].
83* 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}}'' or ''VideoGame/UntilDawn'' (or ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' by the time of ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance'').
84* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Her first ''Series/{{Nashville}}'' single ("Love Like Mine") lists the artist as "Hayden Panettiere and Hayden Panettiere."
85* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Given that she's only about five feet/152.4 cm tall, pretty much all her onscreen relationships fall into this by default. Her real-life then-husband, Wladimir Klitschko, stood at 6'6/198.12 cm, a whopping ''foot and a half'' (45.72cm) taller and with the build of a heavyweight champion boxer to match.
86* InkSuitActor: If you've ever wanted to see Hayden running around [[FanService clad only in a towel]], the videogame ''VideoGame/UntilDawn'' is for you.
87* LifetimeMovieOfTheWeek: Has starred in at least three (''Lies My Mother Told Me'', ''Film/IfYouBelieve'' and most notoriously ''Film/AmandaKnoxMurderOnTrialInItaly'' - ''Custody'' doesn't count because it was intended for cinemas).
88* MsFanservice: Though she's always had [[{{Fanservice}} fanservicy]] tendencies on screen, most notably (non-cheerleader related[[note]] - there are those for whom she was the only reason to stay with ''{{Series/Heroes}}'' to the end[[/note]]) in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8yuG5cNZS4 The Architect]]'' and ''Fireflies In The Garden'', ''Series/{{Nashville}}'' pretty much made it official.
89* OldShame: "[[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.]]"
90** She's also made it clear she is ''not'' keen to be reminded of her krumping in ''Bring It On: All Or Nothing''.
91* OnSetInjury: While filming ''Film/RacingStripes'' and riding one of the zebras, Hayden was thrown off and ended up hospitalized with a concussion, whiplash and damaged vertebrae.
92* TheOtherDarrin: To Courtney Chase as Sarah Roberts in ''Series/OneLifeToLive'', Julie Levine as Lizzie in ''Series/GuidingLight'', Creator/AnneHathaway as Red in ''WesternAnimation/HoodwinkedTooHoodVersusEvil'', and Creator/AlysonStoner as Xion in ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' (who was ''her'' Other Darrin as Kairi in the same franchise--it's complicated). She was also Darrin'd as Kate in the ''WesternAnimation/AlphaAndOmega'' sequels by Creator/KateHiggins.
93* PlayingAgainstType:
94** As Amanda Knox.
95** And as the voice of a Japanese girl in the "Code Name: Electric Haircut" episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Fillmore}}''
96** And in ''Series/{{Nashville}}'' as a bitchy, man-eating country singer.
97* ScullyBox: Often had to stand on something when filming scenes with Creator/ZacharyQuinto and/or Creator/JackColeman on ''{{Series/Heroes}}'', as they're both over a foot taller than her. Judging from [[http://pmctvline2.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/nashville_0109_rayliette.jpg?w=640 these]] [[http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/nashville-wrong-song-music-video-connie-britton-hayden-panettiere-abc.jpg shots]] of her and Connie Britton (who's around 5'8"), this may also be the case for ''Series/{{Nashville}}''. In the case of ''Nashville'', it doesn't help that ABC often goes out of its way in the promo shoots to hide how much shorter Hayden is than... well, ''everyone'' in the cast not called Clare Bowen or Maisy Stella.
98* TheShelfOfMovieLanguishment: She had ''two'' [[ScrewedByTheLawyers long-delayed movies]] released to American cinemas in 2011, ''WesternAnimation/HoodwinkedTooHoodVersusEvil'' and ''Fireflies In The Garden'' (the latter was a victim of the same pre-release limbo that affected ''Film/AllTheBoysLoveMandyLane''). ''The Forger'' (shot in 2009) also took a while to come out.
99* StarMakingRole: Two roles had big impact. Claire Bennet of "[[{{Series/Heroes}} save the cheerleader]]" fame and Sheryl Yoast of "[[Film/RememberTheTitans Y'all are actin' like a buncha sissies!]]" fame.
100* ThoseTwoActors:
101** She and Joan Cusack have been in three movies to date (''Film/RaisingHelen'', ''Film/IcePrincess'' and ''WesternAnimation/HoodwinkedTooHoodVersusEvil''); she has also made three movies with Creator/LaurenBacall, of all people (''Too Rich: The Secret Life of Doris Duke'', ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndTheGoblinKing'' and ''The Forger'' - although in none of them do they share any scenes[[note]]especially the first, as Bacall has the title role and Panettiere plays her as a young girl[[/note]]).
102** She's worked a lot with Creator/EmmaRoberts, mainly in a Neutrogena capacity (''Scream 4'' excepted). Fun fact: Panettiere is one of the few (if not the only one) to do productions with all three famous Robertses, having also worked with Emma's dad Eric on ''{{Series/Heroes}}'' and her aunt [[Creator/JuliaRoberts Julia]] in ''Fireflies In The Garden''.
103* TimeShiftedActor: ''Film/TheAffairOfTheNecklace'' (the young Hilary Swank), ''Fireflies In The Garden'' (young Creator/EmilyWatson), ''Too Rich: The Secret Life Of Doris Duke'' (young Lauren Bacall), and most particularly ''Film/RememberTheTitans'' and ''Film/IfYouBelieve''.
104* TypeCasting: As a teen cheerleader. She's short and was getting roles of teenagers well into her twenties.
105* VocalDissonance: Her short stature and youthful appearance sharply contrast her surprisingly deep voice.
106* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
107** She and Creator/NicoleKidman were initially cast for the roles in ''Film/PanicRoom'' that were taken by Creator/JodieFoster and Creator/KristenStewart before both of them left in pre-production.
108** ''{{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. (This may explain why his character is quickly dropped...)
