Haley Bennett (born January 7, 1988[1]) is an American singer and actress.
Bennett was born and raised in Naples, Florida. Bennett began high school at Stow-Munroe Falls High School in Stow, Ohio and later studied music and acting while attending Barron Collier High School. She and her mother moved to Los Angeles, California to pursue her career in the summer of 2005 during her senior year.
Bennett made her first film debut as the pop music singer Cora Corman in the 2007 romantic comedy Music and Lyrics, alongside Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore. Bennett sang several songs for the Music and Lyrics soundtrack, including "Buddha's Delight" and "Way Back into Love". Fragments of "Entering Bootytown" and "Slam" are heard during concert scenes in the movie. "Invincible" can only be heard during the end credits, and is only a minute and a half long.
She has signed a three-picture deal with Warner Brothers Pictures[2] and has finished filming her second movie College. Bennett is soon to star in a film called She Lived, playing a child who stayed sane after her mother tried to murder her.
She appeared in the February 2007 issue of GQ in the GQ/Features section.[3]
In 2007, she signed with 550 Music/NuSound Records (part of the Epic Records family of labels), and began working on her first album with the aid of singer/songwriter Shaley Scott. Both Haley Bennett and Shaley Scott will be performing at Lilith Unfair at The Mint in Los Angeles on Thursday, June 19, 2008.
