Hilarie Burton Biography
Hilarie Burton is an American actress, producer, and author with a career spanning television, film, and publishing. Burton first gained national recognition as a VJ on MTV's music countdown show "Total Request Live," where an initial guest appearance led to a full-time hosting role.
Burton transitioned from television personality to actress with her breakout role as Peyton Sawyer on the WB/CW drama "One Tree Hill," a part she held for six seasons. The role earned her multiple Teen Choice Award nominations and features in major publications including Maxim and People. She expanded her film career with roles in "Our Very Own," which received an Outstanding Ensemble Acting Award at the Sarasota Film Festival, the Fox Searchlight drama "The Secret Life of Bees," and the supernatural thriller "Solstice" opposite Amanda Seyfried. She also appeared in the thriller "The List."
After "One Tree Hill," Burton continued her work in television, starring as Sara Ellis in the USA Network crime drama "White Collar" and taking on a recurring role as Dr. Lauren Boswell on ABC's medical drama "Grey's Anatomy." She appeared in the Fox action-dramedy "Lethal Weapon" as DEA Agent Karen Palmer. Behind the scenes, Burton co-founded Southern Gothic Production (SoGoPro) and served as executive producer on projects including the holiday films "The Christmas Contract" and "A Christmas Wish," as well as the horror film "Bloody Axe Wound." She also hosted and executive produced the true crime series "True Crime Story: It Couldn't Happen Here," focusing on overlooked cases in rural America.
As an author, Burton wrote the New York Times bestselling memoir "The Rural Diaries: Love, Livestock, and Big Life Lessons Down on Mischief Farm," which details her move from Hollywood to farm life in New York's Hudson Valley. The book, which won a Goodreads Choice Award in the Memoir & Autobiography category, explores her personal journey, including experiences with infertility and community involvement, such as revitalizing a local candy store. Burton also co-hosted the podcast "Drama Queens" with "One Tree Hill" co-stars Sophia Bush and Bethany Joy Lenz, revisiting the series and sharing behind-the-scenes insights. Her career encompasses acting, producing, writing, and advocacy, with a focus on entertainment, storytelling, and community engagement.
