Sara Paxton

Sara Paxton is an American pop singer and actress born on April 28 1988 in Woodland hills Los Angeles, California. She grew up as a prodigy and she impressed everybody with her talent and attitude. She received her first movie offer at the age of eight. It was a small role in the hit 1997 Jim Carrey movie ‘Liar liar’.

 She also appeared in few television shows like "Sponge bob Square pants" and "Malcolm In The Middle" and played lead roles as Sarah Borden on "Summerland" and as Darcy Field on NBC's "Darcy's Wildlife". But most people recognize her as the gorgeous mermaid in 2006 hit movie “Aquamarine”. Some of her other important movies include Sleepover (2004), The Ruby Princess Runs Away (2004), Soldier (1998) etc.

As a young girl she loved to fly around and dream. She loved Disney cartoons, especially those featuring mermaids. And she loved those half lady and half fish things more than anyone else and she even wanted to be one like them. She used to swim around in the pool with her legs tied up and kick water up with her ‘tail’. To her the titular role of the little mermaid in the movie Aquamarine was like a reunion with her childhood fantasy to be a mermaid. She said “I was so lucky that I got to live out my dream...it was much better than anything I could have expected."

Sara’s father is an Irishman Steve Paxton who is a distant relative of actor Bill Paxton and her mother is a dentist from Mexico. Because of this mixed cultural backgrounds she is bilingual and speaks English and Spanish and celebrates both Christmas and Hanukkah. Goldie Hawn and Reese Witherspoon are her idols and she will die to work alongside both in a movie. Last year she appeared in an anti-bullying commercial in a Canadian family TV channel. Paxton hosted The Secret Life of Water, the first episode of the series Planet H2O, which premiered in April of 2006 on public television stations and she appeared on a TV series called Pepper Dennis as a young actress.

This June, Sara will be graduating from high school and looking forward to join the college. Though she had to manage acting and study together, she never felt it as too difficult a job. She always wanted to be in front of the camera and in front of the people. And Sara is now preparing to release her debut album, "The Ups and Downs”.

She thinks that Jim Carrey is a great and funny actor and she still cherishes memories shared with him in the sets of Liar Liar, she says “He is so funny! I had so much fun working with him, in the movie I had to come up to him and ask him where babies were from, because you know he couldn't lie. It was funny especially when he actually answered truthfully, and I didn't even really understand what he was talking about because I was like seven! It was a lot of fun”

Sara thinks her role in Aquamarine was the best she ever had, but she also thinks that it changes with time. She says “Aquamarine is probably my favorite, but it always changes. Every time I do something new, it's like “that's my favorite”. And she always kept her passion alive for doing something new. Charming, young and talented, Sara has just begun and she has got a long and colorful career waiting in front of her and her friends and fans knows that she has got the right talent and attitude to manage it all.
