Hayden Leslie Panettiere (born August 21, 1989[1]) is an American actress, singer, and Grammy Award nominee. She is perhaps best known for her role on the NBC series Heroes as Claire Bennet. She also appeared as the voice actress for the role of Kairi in the Square Enix Kingdom Hearts series.
Born in Palisades, New York, Panettiere is the daughter of Lesley R. Vogel, a former soap opera actress, and Alan L. "Skip" Panettiere, a fire department lieutenant.[2][3] She has one younger brother, fellow actor Jansen Panettiere.[4]
Panettiere appears as Claire Bennet in the NBC series Heroes as a high school cheerleader with regenerative healing powers. Due to her role on Heroes, she became a regular on the science fiction convention circuit, invited to attend conventions around the world in 2007, including New York Comic-Con and Fan Expo Canada. In regards to the roles she has played, Panettiere admitted that options are sometimes limited because "people look at [her] as either the 'popular cheerleader' type or just 'the blonde'."[9]
In 2006, Panettiere began dating Stephen Colletti, the former Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, star.[16] The couple broke up in September 2007.[17] In December 2007, it was widely reported that she was dating her Heroes costar Milo Ventimiglia,[18][19] though Panettiere has denied that these reports in an interview with GQ.[20] After much media speculation Ventigmilia apparently acknowledged his relationship with Panettiere in the March issue of GQ Magazine.[21]
