Hayden Reflects on Child Star Struggles
In May, this actress described her experiences as a child star.
“I had my first identity crisis,” said Panettiere at the West Hollywood, California, conference. “It was in the old home of mine that the event happened. I must have been 12 at that time and was upstairs in my room.”The saddest thing was that I remember exactly where I was,” she added dramatically. “It felt like the brashest room in the world. This is the worst experience, like looking in the mirror and a row of judges are looking back at you.”
