The 'Panic Room' Casting Change

Panettiere recounts being cast as Nicole Kidman's daughter in Panic Room. After Kidman's injury, she was replaced by Jodie Foster, and Panettiere's role went to Kristen Stewart as producers believed she did not resemble Foster enough. The change left her sad but accepting of the situation.

Relationship With Milo Ventimiglia

Panettiere became romantically involved with her Heroes costar Milo Ventimiglia at 18. Though their relationship made headlines due to their age difference, Panettiere later reflected that the relationship felt stable during uncertain times.
