Lucy Hale's biography

Lucy Hale captured the hearts of millions of American teenagers with her breakout role in Pretty Little Liars. But she didn't want to stop there, so she tried her hand at other ventures. Before turning 30, she could already boast a filmography of over twenty roles, a successful music album, her own clothing brand, and most importantly – active involvement in charity work, especially projects that help sick people recover.

Childhood and youth

Karen Lucille Hale grew up in Memphis, a city steeped in musical history. Musical legends like Elvis Presley and B.B. King called it home, and today, the city houses the world-renowned soul and rock music museum. The city's atmosphere likely influenced her – she couldn't imagine life without music, even as a child, and always dreamed of becoming a famous singer.

Her parents, Preston and Julie Hale, were pretty strict with Lucy, her older sister Maggie, and step-brother Wes – they wanted their children to have strong moral values. Still, her mother always recognized her younger daughter's musical abilities and did everything she could to nurture her talent.

At 12, Lucy started homeschooling so she could dedicate more time to music, and a year later, she headed to Los Angeles with her mother to compete in a young singers' contest called American Juniors. Her song "Call Me" earned her a spot in the finals, and she became one of five members in the band formed by the show's producers.

Though the band didn't last long and disbanded in 2005, the members managed to appear on several major TV projects and series.

Film career

Inspired by her success, Lucy convinced her mother to relocate to Los Angeles. She was so passionate about becoming an actress that music temporarily took a backseat. But Hollywood proved to be a crowded ocean, and breaking through as a newcomer wasn't going to be easy.

Initially, Lucy landed roles in forgettable series that barely made a blip on anyone's radar. In 2007, she was offered one of the lead roles in the series Bionic Woman, but the show was quickly canceled after just a few episodes. In the same year, Lucy appeared in the sequel of the comedy The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, where she got to work with Blake Lively and America Ferrera. Then, she made an appearance in the comedy series Privileged, where she played star student Megan Smith.

Lucy's big break came when she landed the role of Aria Montgomery in the hit thriller series Pretty Little Liars (2010-17). The series was so successful that it got extended for several seasons. This role earned Lucy several prestigious awards and solidified her reputation as a serious actress. With her acting career now established, she could finally turn her attention back to music.

In 2018, two new movies with her were released – the horror Truth or Dare and the comedy Dude. You can also see her in the drama series Life Sentence, where she's playing the role of a cancer patient.

Musical career

In 2014, Hale released the album Road Between, which received a warm welcome from listeners and critics alike. It contained several country-soul songs composed by her.

In 2012, the actress caught the public's attention with another co-star romance – actor Chris Zylka. Their relationship ended with Chris posting a brief tweet accusing Lucy of acting superior. After that, she tried building serious relationships with actor Graham Rogers and musicians Joel Crouse and Adam Pitts, but none worked out.

According to Zoomboola.com, in 2015, Lucy appeared together with Anthony Calabretta. They weren't trying to hide their feelings and were already talking about getting engaged. But in spring 2017, photos of her with her boyfriend disappeared from her Instagram, and soon after the couple announced their breakup.

Lucy's parents raised her to be an empathetic and caring person who never shies away from helping others in need. She's actively involved in charity work and volunteering, partnering with major medical centers that specialize in treating childhood cancer and cleft lip and palate conditions.
Lucy doesn't tolerate cyberbullying or shaming teenagers online, and she's also spoken out against violence toward women and abuse of their rights on various public platforms.

She's active on social media and uses her Instagram to discuss various topics with her followers, especially issues that affect teenagers. Lucy openly admits she struggled with anorexia in her youth and faced significant challenges to recover. Today, Hale is the face of several fashion brands and serves as beauty ambassador for AVON. In 2014, she presented her own clothing brand, which is being sold successfully in fashion shops all over the US, Canada, and Europe.
