Hayden Panettiere was just eleven years old when she got a lead role in the blockbuster film "Remember the Titans." In this true-life story, Hayden plays a coach's daughter and a major football fan. She had to learn all the stuff about football, since she is not really a football fan. When asked about working with big name actors like Nicole Kidman and Hilary Swank, Hayden said, "It is really cool. They don't act famous, they're nice, normal people. During the filming of Titans, I'd race on the field with Denzel, passing a football. He likes to kid around."
