Sara Paxton

To take a page from Sara Paxton's 2009 CW drama series, the actress truly lived "The Beautiful Life." She started acting and modeling at a young age, and received her first Emmy nomination at age 16. Paxton went from playing a spoiled teen on "Darcy's Wild Life" (Discovery Kids, 2004-06) to an ethereal mermaid in "Aquamarine" (2006) to a brutalized victim in "The Last House on the Left" (2009) with the ease of a seasoned actress. It was no surprise Paxton looked up to Goldie Hawn and Reese Witherspoon, two versatile blonde beauties equally adept at drama and comedy - something Paxton aspired to emulate.
