[edit] Biography
[edit] Early life
Ramm was born in Dallas, Texas, the daughter of Barbara (née Wilson) and Brian Ramm. At the age of three, she began dancing in local studios. Four years later, she was performing her own freestyle dances in talent shows. Her love of center stage led her to attend acting classes and, following the recommendation of a teacher, her parents started to look for an agent. Almost immediately, she signed an agency contract. Ramm started to audition for independent films and commercials all around Texas and soon appeared in nationwide commercials for Hasbro and Dell computers. By age 9, Haley had appeared on the cover of American Girl for the May and June issues.
[edit] Acting career
In 2005, she acted in the movie Seventy-8 as April Rowlands. The movie premiered at the Hollywood Film Festival.
Although she moved to Los Angeles at age 11 with her mother, her dad and brother stayed behind in Texas for the first few years. Her agents, coaches and family were very supportive. Six weeks after arriving to L.A., she found a manager. Later that year, she was called for roles in Flightplan and the comedy Yours, Mine and Ours, and on television shows such as CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, CSI: Miami and Yes, Dear.
In 2006, she appeared in X Men: The Last Stand as the young Jean Grey. In 2007, Ramm starred in the movie Mr. Blue Sky as Jessica Green, alongside Ashley Wolfe and Richard Karn.
Next, she starred as Samantha Jensen in Walking Tall: Lone Justice, alongside Kevin Sorbo and Yvette Nipar. Her most recent projects include the lead role of Gwen Tennyson in the live action film adaptation of the animated series Ben 10 and a recurring role on CBS's hit series Without a Trace alongside Emmy-winning actor Anthony LaPaglia and Poppy Montgomery.
In 2007, she appeared as the Young Carine (played by Jena Malone) in Sean Penn's film, Into the Wild.
