Hayden Panettiere is inspired by Meryl Streep. The "Heroes" star insists she wants to be best known for her acting ability and not her private life, citing Meryl - who has been nominated for an Academy Award 15 times - as the person she most admires.
Hayden explained: "I love acting. It's something I respect. It's something that makes me want to be respected for what I do. I'm working toward being a respected actress. Meryl Streep is it for me."
