Hayden Panettiere

Like Brooke Shields, Hayden Panettiere’s first stint as a model came at only 11 months old. Instead of selling soap, however, she appeared in an advertisement for a Playskool toy train. Much of her childhood was spent acting on many soap operas, including Guiding Light, Touched by an Angel, and One Life to Live. She received approval for her performance in the TV movie If You Believe.

While Panettiere spent most of her life in front of the camera, she was also a sought-after singer. She then secured one of the most notable television roles on the series Heroes, which elevated her career to a new degree. She became even more famous when she began appearing in the musical series Nashville, playing the lead character Juliette Barnes. The show aired for six seasons, and she garnered a number of award nominations.
