[edit] Career
Burton's first big break came when working as a VJ for the Total Request Live on MTV. She was supposed to be a guest commentator for one segment but producers decided to offer her a permanent job. Burton had a small part on the TV series Dawson's Creek and this led to her role as Peyton Sawyer on the series One Tree Hill. In 2004, she was nominated for a Teen Choice Award in two categories for her work on One Tree Hill: "Choice TV Actress in a Drama/Action Adventure" and "Choice Breakout TV Star - Female".[4] In 2005, she was again nominated for a Teen Choice Award for "Choice TV Actress: Drama". In May 2009, the CW announced Burton would not be returning to the show for the seventh season in her role as Peyton.[5] Burton appeared once on the television series Hey Dude. She made her feature film debut in Our Very Own, a comedy set in 1970s Nashville, and was featured on the cover of the Jan/Feb 2004 issue of American Cheerleader magazine. Our Very Own, whose ensemble cast features Allison Janney, Jason Ritter, and Cheryl Hines, was screened at the prestigious Sarasota Film Festival. Burton was honored with a special Outstanding Ensemble Acting award at that festival. The film was also nominated for an Independent Spirit Award.[6]
Burton appeared in the music video for Jack's Mannequin song "The Mixed Tape" as Peyton Sawyer.[4] Later, she recorded a song for The Road Mix: Music from the Television Series One Tree Hill, Volume 3 called Peyton's Podcast Mix.
In 2008, Burton starred in the independent movie The List as Jo Johnston. Burton also had a role in the major motion picture The Secret Life of Bees, in which she played Deborah Owens.
Burton's latest film project was The Sacrifice and it is based on another book by Robert Whitlow (The List). She will be reunited with Malcolm McDowell and Gary Wheeler, who also signed on for the project, when it starts filming early next year.[4] She is currently working on Provinces of Night, a film based on the novel by William Gay.
Burton joined the cast of White Collar as a series regular in Season 3.[7]
[edit] Personal life
Burton has three younger brothers and resides in Wilmington, North Carolina, where One Tree Hill is filmed.[1][4] In 2004, Burton married One Tree Hill assistant director Ian Prange, son of executive producer Greg Prange. The two have since divorced.[1] She has a cat named after writer Edgar Allan Poe[4] and is close friends with fellow One Tree Hill stars Bethany Joy Galeotti, Sophia Bush, James Lafferty and Chad Michael Murray.[4] Burton's hobbies include collecting antiques, vintage clothes shopping, knitting and crocheting.[4] In May 2007, Burton ranked #77 in the Maxim Hot 100 List of 2007.[8] She also appeared on the cover of the November 2006 edition of Maxim with One Tree Hill co-stars Sophia Bush and Danneel Harris.
