By the time Kay Panabaker was just 13 years old, she was already a veteran of stage, television and film as well as a high school graduate. Kay Panabaker made her television series-starring debut as Nikki Westerly, the middle child and the voice of reason on The WB's "Summerland."
Born near Houston, Texas and raised in Philadelphia, Atlanta and Chicago, Kay Panabaker got her start in community theater in Atlanta when she was 8 years old, then made her professional debut in a Chicago Shakespeare Theater production of The Herbal Bed at the age of 9. Kay Panabaker won a lead in the film "American Girls: Kit's World" while in Chicago, and followed that with a one-week trip to Los Angeles to test the waters. During her week there, Kay Panabaker landed the child lead in the film "Dead Heat," starring Kiefer Sutherland and Anthony LaPaglia, and there was no turning back.
