Career

. During the late 1990s and early 2000s, she appeared in a number of minor television and film roles, including a part on the soap opera Passions and a guest starring role on the Disney show, Lizzie McGuire, playing an ex-president of Lizzie's school.

, which opened in July 2004 to mixed reviews and low box office. She was subsequently cast in the Discovery Kids television series, Darcy's Wild Life (which also often features her music track, Take A Walk), and appeared in several episodes of the series, Summerland.

After Summerland was cancelled, Paxton began working on the Australia-filmed Aquamarine
