Hayley Bennett featured in AP Magazine!

Hayley Bennett is featured in the current issue of AP Magazine! In a gorgeous photo and accompanying article, Hayley is promoting her upcoming film Music and Lyrics. Hayley plays a pop singer who is to perform the song being written by Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore's characters.

Hayley Bennett has also signed on to star in two more pictures for Warner Bros. Entertainment after wrapping Music and Lyrics. Hayley attended the 2001 IMTA Convention with Pro Models and Talent in Akron, Ohio. At IMTA, she met and signed with her agents, Mara Santino and Ryan Daly with Kazarian Spencer & Associates.

The article in AP magazine says
"When Hayley Bennett and her mom moved cross-country to Los Angeles almost two years ago to focus on aspiring starlet's music career, they didn't expect Bennett's big break would involve Hugh Grant and 16 back up dancers. Soon after arriving in tinsel town, she acquired an agent and began taking classes. A few auditions later and poof!- the fresh faced 18 year old was staring at a huge role in a feature film. But Bennett doesn't necessarily consider herself a full-fledged actress yet. The unsigned artist has her eye on singer/songwriter stardom and hopes her role in this month's Music and Lyrics will pique the interests of some record labels. "
