Hayden Panettiere dies at 36

Rather than remaining defined solely by her role on Heroes, she continued looking for opportunities that allowed her to develop as an actress.

One of the most important came in 2012, when she joined the cast of ABC’s Nashville as Juliette Barnes.

The role was dramatically different from Claire Bennet.

Juliette was a successful country singer whose professional achievements were accompanied by complicated relationships, emotional struggles, and personal conflicts. Panettiere brought both vulnerability and intensity to the character, earning critical attention and multiple award nominations.
