Paulina Gretzky Music Bio Photo

Biography
Paulina Mary Jean Gretzky was born on December 19, 1988, in Los Angeles, California, the eldest of five children born to famous hockey player Wayne Gretzky and his wife, actress Janet Jones. In 1997, she moved with her family to New York City, where she attended the Nightingale-Bamford School before being admitted to the American Ballet Theater school.


In 2000, Paulina made her screen debut when she took a small role in the comedic short, In God We Trust; she was only 12 years old at the time. Three years later, she made her television singing debut at the National Hockey League's Heritage Classic weekend. The centerpiece of the November 2003 event was an alumni game between the Edmonton Oilers and Montreal Canadiens; Paulina sang the night before to a crowd of approximately 8,000 people.

Paulina performed again on game day, singing Sarah McLachlan's "I Will Remember You" to a stadium packed with over 57,000 fans. She received a standing ovation for her effort. She made another singing appearance in 2004, singing the Canadian national anthem during the World Cup of Hockey in Toronto.

In 2005, at the age of 17, Paulina started work in modeling. Her first photo spread came in Toronto-based FLARE magazine, and was shot by photographer Max Abadian. Her appearance on that publication's cover in August of 2005 marked the first time that FLARE had featured both a mother and daughter there; mother Janet had posed for the cover in 1988.
