Hayden Panettiere Counts Hilary Duff As A Closer Friend

Hayden Panettiere, 18, has been acting on television since she was eleven months old; she’s been in the business for as long as she can remember.

Hilary Duff first appeared on television at the age of ten — not working quite as long as Hayden, but she still is an industry veteran at the young age of twenty now.

So it comes as no surprise that Panettiere and Duff are pals; Hayden talked about her in a recent interview with Seventeen Magazine and had nothing but praise for her friend.

“Hilary is one of the closer people to me in the business,” she beamed.

“She’s a very down-to-earth person. She’s humble, very sweet — she’s low-key.”
