Hayden Panettiere: Hot Style: Following our extremely popular contest, 'HD Hottie Hysteria,' we've started a new feature in which we will highlight a top female star every day. The gorgeous female will come from a program that can be seen in gorgeous high-def that very day. Today's 'HD Hottie' is Hayden Panettiere who stars tonight in high-def in I Love You, Beth Cooper at 7 p.m. ET on HBO West.
The 21-year-old actress, who was born in Palisades, New York, started as a child actress in such daytime soap operas as One Life to Live and The Guiding Light. She quickly captured a few movie roles (A Bug's Life, Remember the Titans), but it was her casting as the cheerleader in NBC's Heroes that made her a star.
Since Heroes, Hayden has stretched her wings, cutting an album that will be released next year and taking a role in the movies When a Stranger Calls Back and I Love You, Beth Cooper. (The latter is now available on Blu-ray.)
Hayden returned for a fourth season of Heroes, but the show was cancelled earlier this year. Now Hayden is keeping herself busy filming Scream 4 and she will star as Amanda Knox, the college student convicted or murder in Itally, in an upcoming Lifetime movie.
