About this person
Hayden Lesley Panettiere started young even by child-star standards: 11 months old in a 1990 commercial, more than 50 spots by age five, then soap opera runs on One Life to Live (1994-1997) and Guiding Light (1996-2000) that taught her to work fast. A Grammy nomination for the A Bug's Life audiobook in 1998 made her the sixth-youngest nominee ever. She threaded the transition to film with Remember the Titans and Racing Stripes, but the real break came in 2006 when Heroes cast her as Claire Bennet, the cheerleader who couldn't die - a Saturn Award followed. Nashville (2012-2018) gave her Juliette Barnes, a country star with edges, and two Golden Globe nominations; the Scream franchise brought her back as Kirby Reed in 2011 and again in 2023. She also became Kairi in Kingdom Hearts and Sam in Until Dawn, lodging her voice in the muscle memory of players who grew up with those games. By the mid-2020s she was working the direct-to-video circuit. On August 16, 2026, five days before her 37th birthday, cardiac arrest stopped her heart.
