Bethany Joy Galeotti is Hot Actress

Bethany Joy Galeotti is an American singer-songwriter, musician and actress.As a teenager she honed her vocal skills by training with the Director of The Brooklyn College of Opera and not only plays both the guitar and piano but writes her own music as well. As a singer, she has released two independent albums, titled Preincarnate (2002) and Come On Home (2005) and is best known for her chart topping duet When the Stars Go Blue and video release of Songs In My Pocket. Deemed a triple-threat, Galeotti now boasts stage credits that include collaborating with Garry Marshall and Carole King on a new musical as well as working with director Arthur Allan Seidelman on a production of "The Outsiders."

As an actress, she is best known for her role as Michelle Bauer Santos on Guiding Light (from 1998 to 2000) and for her role as Haley James Scott on One Tree Hill (since 2003).At age 15, (during her sophomore year in high school) Galeotti appeared in her first film, Stephen King's Thinner. Her performance was well-noted in reviews, particularly in the Associated Press: "One of the highlights of the film was a joy — Joy Lenz."

In March 1998, at 17, she earned a nine episode gig in CBS's soap opera Guiding Light where she first appeared as the teenaged clone of Reva Shayne. Galeotti made such an impression on viewers, critics and Guiding Light executives alike that she was later recast as Michelle Bauer Santos upon Rebecca Budig's exit.This was an unusual move and "unheard of" in the industry according to CBS producer Mickey Dwyer-Dobbin.
