50.Hayden Panettiere

Hayden Panettiere may have gained massive popularity in the series Heroes and Nashville, but she was in the industry long before she could talk. She first appeared on the screens at the age of eleven months as a commercial model. She then starred in the soap opera One Life to Live in 1994 as Sarah Roberts until 1997. Panettiere was also part of the show Guiding Light from 1996 to 2000. Jayden was also awarded the Young Artist Award for her performance in If You Believe in 1999.

She rose to greater prominence as a teenage actress appearing in the widely acclaimed series Heroes in 2006, which led to her landing several projects in TV and films. Despite her good credit score and popularity, Panettiere felt that she was typecast and playing the same roles that withheld her from growing as an actress. Likewise, her personal life met several lows that led to her hiatus since 2018. She might be inactive in filming today, but she is active in activism, where she aims to raise awareness against domestic abuse.
