Trivia

Hayden Panettiere drew this picture of her character in order to raise money for the Pediatric Epilepsy Project.

• The portrait of Claire that Hayden created for the Heroes Auction was the highest bid piece of art. Her caricature earned $915 for the Pediatric Epilepsy Project.
• As of Company Man, she was the only actor to appear in every episode of Heroes.
• Hayden "graduated" from "Heroes High" during the Season One wrap party on April 17, 2007. As a school-age actor, Hayden is required by law to be tutored on set. Since she would not take part in a formal graduation ceremony, the prop crew made a fake diploma which "Principal" Tim Kring presented to her.
