BIOGRAPHY
A precocious actress, Sarah Hyland was already working at age 4, for commercials and voices. The daughter of Melissa Canaday and Edward James Hyland got her first role in 1997 in Private Parts , where she played Howard Stern ‘s daughter . She got her love of comedy from her father, a theater actor. Her mother is herself a coach for young actors.

Sarah continues the characters with The Object of My Affection in 1998 then with the series Another World in 1999, in which she plays a wild child. On set, she met Amy Carlson with whom she would later film several times, in the series Falcone and New York – Judicial Police . For her 10th birthday, she plays a young Audrey Hepburn in the eponymous biopic .

In addition to her acting profession, she learned jazz, hip-hop and ballet dancing and was even invited to the Lincoln Center dance and theater class for a tap dance number. After being schooled at home for a while, she completed her studies with a PPAS (Professional Performing Arts School) before moving to Los Angeles when she was 18. She quickly landed a role in the sitcom Modern Family , a series that has since won an Emmy Award.

Most productive, she continued to act for cinema and television before and after her departure for the city of angels. Her dancing skills are even sporadically claimed. Better known in the United States through the multiple series and television films in which she has appeared, from Lipstick Jungle to Charming Geek , Vampire Academy marks her first collaboration with teenage director Mark Waters , as well as her first real foray into the fantasy genre.

She also has a little malti-poo (kind of bichon) named Barkley. Contrary to what many believe, his brother Ian Hyland , also an actor, is four years his junior. She had to undergo a kidney transplant in 2012, donated by her own father.
