Happy Birthday, Hayden Panettiere!!

Congratulations are in order for Hayden Panettiere. The actress, singer, and activist turns 23 today. Happy birthday, Hayden!
The New York-born Panettiere got her start in soaps, playing Sarah Roberts on One Life to Live and the cancer-stricken Lizzie Spaulding on Guiding Light. Hayden followed her soap years with a string of minor roles before landing the part of Sheryl Yoast in 2000’s Remember the Titans. The talented young actress went on to star in a number of films and television series, including Ally McBeal, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Malcolm in the Middle, Raising Helen, and Ice Princess. However, Panettiere is perhaps best known for her role as cheerleader Claire Bennet on NBC’s Heroes.
Hayden is also an enthusiastic activist who supports The Whaleman Foundation, a group dedicated to defending dolphins, whales, and other sea creatures from commercial hunters. In 2007, she confronted a group of Japanese fisherman to prevent them from hunting dolphins, a confrontation which appears in the award-winning documentary The Cove.
Hayden’s more recent projects include Scream 4 and Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy. Fans can next catch her in the upcoming ABC series Nashville as well as the film Over the Wall.
