About Sara Paxton
American actress and musician Sara Paxton has been working steadily since childhood, building a career that spans television, film, and music. Born on April 25, 1988, in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles, she grew up as the only child of dentists Lucia and Steve Paxton. Her mother, of Jewish and Mexican heritage, was born in Monterrey, Mexico, while her father is of English and Scottish descent. She was raised in the San Fernando Valley and graduated from El Camino Real High School in 2006. Though accepted to several colleges, she chose to pursue acting full-time.
Paxton's early résumé includes a small role in the 1997 film Liar Liar, voice work on SpongeBob SquarePants, and appearances on Passions, Greetings from Tucson, and Lizzie McGuire. In 2003, she starred in R. L. Stine's Haunted Lighthouse, a 3D attraction still shown at theme parks. Her first major lead came in the 2004 teen film Sleepover, followed by a starring role in the Discovery Kids series Darcy's Wild Life, for which she received an Emmy nomination in 2006. That same year, she starred as a mermaid in Aquamarine, opposite Emma Roberts and JoJo, and recorded the song "Connected" for the film's soundtrack. Her debut album for Epic Records, The Ups and Downs, was shelved before release.
She took on darker material with The Last House on the Left (2009) and appeared in the CW drama The Beautiful Life, which was cancelled after two episodes. Later credits include Shark Night (2011), Lovestruck: The Musical (2013), and the Twin Peaks revival (2017).
