Hayden Panettiere has navigated across the chapters of her public life a journey of exceptional complexity and exceptional personal courage — growing from a child performer of genuine natural gifts through the serious dramatic demands of Heroes and the psychologically rich six seasons of Nashville into someone whose willingness to speak openly and honestly about the more challenging dimensions of her personal experience has made her story as genuinely inspiring and as genuinely worth following as any role she has ever played. She brings to every chapter of a public life still very much in progress the same emotional honesty and the same complete absence of self-protective deflection that have always made her most compelling work so immediately and so deeply affecting to the audiences privileged enough to encounter it.
