Bethany Joy Galeotti is an American
singer and actress. As a singer, she has released two
independent albums, titled Preincarnate (2002) and Come
On Home (2005). As an actress, she is best known for her
role as Michelle Bauer Santos in Guiding Light (from
1998 to 2000) and for her role as Haley James Scott in
One Tree Hill (since 2003).
Biography: Bethany Joy Lenz was born on April 2,
1981 in Hollywood, Florida. Her father is a history
teacher and therapeut, her mother is a manager and she
has a younger sister. Lenz and her family moved to Texas
when she was four. She landed her first stage role at
age seven, playing a munchkin in a local production of
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and subsequently performed
in To Kill a Mockingbird, Annie, Cinderella and in
Gypsy: A Musical Fable. When she was thirteen, she moved
with her family to New Jersey.
At age fifteen, she appeared in her first movie,
Thinner. She was later cast in CBS soap opera Guiding
Light where she first appeared as the teenaged clone of
Reva Shayne in a controversial storyline. Lenz made such
an impression on viewers and critics that she was later
recast as Michelle Bauer Santos upon Rebecca Budig's
exit. She also acted in a Broadway musical called Foxy
Ladies Love/Boogie 70's Explosion. She then moved from
New York to Los Angeles where she performed in a theatre
production of The Outsiders, and also guest-starred on
many shows such as Off Centre, Charmed, Felicity, Maybe
It's Me and The Guardian. At age twenty-two, she was
cast in WB television series One Tree Hill as Haley
James Scott, who is Lucas Scott’s best friend and
Nathan Scott’s wife, a role that she is still playing.
During her work on One Tree Hill, she acted in her
second film Bring It On Again.
Lenz has recorded two independent records. The first
album, titled Preincarnate, was released in October
2002. In March 2005, she embarked on a month-long music
tour with Tyler Hilton, The Wreckers (Michelle Branch
and Jessica Harp), and Gavin DeGraw to promote One Tree
Hill, where she performed some of her original songs
from her second independent record. This second album,
titled Come On Home, was sold at the concert venues.
Lenz also recorded several songs for an album with Epic
Records, but she is no longer affiliated with them and
is hoping to release the album through another company
in the near future. In 2006 Lenz wrote and recorded
several songs for the soundtrack for Ten Inch Hero.
Joy recently performed the national anthem at the annual
James Lafferty Charity Basketball Game together with
Hilarie Burton and Elisabeth Harnois.
Longtime fans have noted her physical resemblance to
fellow actress Kay Lenz, although they are not related.
In her early career, she was credited as Joie Lenz, a
spelling of her middle name which she adopted in her
early teens. When she joined One Tree Hill in 2003, she
has been credited as Bethany Joy Lenz (up until 3x10).
She was also credited as Haley James Scott on One Tree
Hill's CD Friends with Benefits.
Her hobbies are photography, painting,
writing, horseback riding, knitting, and making
stationary. Her favourite singers include Sheryl Crow,
U2 and Coldplay. Her favourite series include Joan of
Arcadia, Alias, I Love Lucy, Lost, Arrested Development
and Friends. OTH co-stars Danneel Harris & Elisabeth
Harnois both star in Ten Inch Hero. This is the same
exact movie Joy recorded three new songs for. |
