Lucy Hale’s biography

Young Lucy Hale won the hearts of millions of American teenagers thanks to her role in Pretty Little Liars. She, however, didn’t want to stop there so she tried her hand in other areas. Before her 30th birthday, she could already flaunt a filmography of over twenty roles, a successful musical album, her own clothing brand, and most importantly – active participation in charity projects, mainly in those that give ill people a chance to recover.

Childhood and youth

Karen Lucille Hale spent her childhood in Memphis, a city rich in musical history. Musical legends such as Elvis Presley and B.B. King lived there, and right now, the city is home to the world-renown soul and rock music museum. It’s quite possible that the atmosphere of the city influenced her because she couldn’t imagine her life without music, even as a child, and she’s always wanted to become a famous singer.

Her parents, Preston and Julie Hale were quite strict to Lucy, her older sister Maggie and step-brother Wes; they wanted their children to have strong moral values. Regardless, her mother has always taken notice of her younger daughter’s musical abilities and contributed in any way she could to the growth of her talent.

When she was 12, Lucy started to be homeschooled, so she’d have more time to dedicate to music, and a year after, she went to Los Angeles with her mother to take part in a contest of young singers called American Juniors. Her song Call me earned her a spot in the final and she became one of the five members of the band formed by the producers of the show.

Even though the band didn’t last long and fell apart in 2005, the stars 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 for a while, music wasn’t that important anymore. It turned out though that she’s just another fish in a largely populated sea when she got to Hollywood, and that not every newcomer gets to make a name for themselves.

Initially, Lucy only appeared in unpopular series, the name of which she doesn’t even remember now. In 2007, she was offered one of the lead roles in the series Bionic Woman, but after the release of the first episodes, the screenwriters got the series thrown off the air. 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.

Happiness shone down her street when she got the role of Aria Montgomery in the thriller series Pretty Little Liars (2010-17). The series was so successful that it got extended for several seasons. This role has earned Lucy very prestigious film awards, which has definitely added to her caliber as an actress. She was no longer forced to go knocking on doors looking for roles, so she decided to focus on her musical career too.

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.
