She’s not really bad, she’s just drawn that way!
Hayden Panettiere and Connie Britton are about to take their cross between All About Eve and Country Strong to ABC for the October 10 premiere of Nashville.
Hayden plays the young, ambitious, grasping Juliette Barnes. She may seem like a bitchy “villain,” but Hayden defended the character to The Canadian Press, calling Juliette “a broken little girl.”
“Even though she comes off so rude and disrespectful in the beginning, you realize why she behaves that way,” Hayden said. “You realize that she’s from Alabama trailer park and she’s got a mom who is a major drug addict.”
Hayden has already dismissed rumors she’s playing a nasty verison of Taylor Swift (the two are actually neighbors in real life). She’s been in the music and acting biz her whole and found enough inspiration there. “I’ve always understood why people, in this industry, are the way they are,” Hayden said. “Not everyone of course, but … you can understand why they are sometimes vicious and impatient and not nice to people.”
I like the charactor Hayden plays becouse Juliette Barnes is a fragile young woman who has already been thru a lot in her life. She fights back the only way she knows how, using methods that will change as times goes by. She finds it hard to trust people, but she does love her fans and family. She will keep her distance, at first, from her fans, family and workmates, but put more trust in her fans before anyone else. I hope after two or three years she calms down and learns to trust those close to her.
