Lucy Hale as Aria


Lucy Hale plays quirky and artsy (if a little out there) Aria Montgomery. Aria never fit into the cookie cutter Rosewood mold, which is why home-schooled Tennessean Lucy should be a perfect match. Memphis is a happening town, but is it as awesome as Reykjavík? After you've read our five Lucy facts, book us a plane ticket to both, and we'll get back to you!

PRETTY LITTLE LIARS - Lucy Hale stars as Aria Montgomery on ABC Family's "Pretty Little Liars." (ABC FAMILY/ANDREW ECCLES)

  • Starred in Privileged and Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2

  • Originally from Memphis, Tennessee

  • Home-schooled, but took outside theater classes (Much like the classes Aria ends up taking at Hollis!)

  • Began voice lessons at the age of nine...

  • ...which led to her appearance on American-Idol-for-kids American Juniors in 2003 (Look on YouTube for some of her performances!)

I think Lucy fits with the way that I seen Aria in the book. She was a good match.

Are these supposed to make us more excited for the show...? 'Cause I'm not feeling it...

Hate stupid shows/ads on side page. Punch computer screen in face.

This isn't a comment for the actress so much as whichever writer decided that the slogan "never trust a pretty girl with an ugly secret" was clever. Seriously, that's like saying "never trust a pretty murderer." Being pretty has no relevance to whether or not to trust someone if you qualify it with stating that she has killed. The slogan could just as easily be "never trust someone with an ugly secret," which is...well...pretty obvious, thanks. Really, having some idiotic catch-phrase repeated at me at every ad break makes me more likely to simply turn off the tv whenever I see the ad than want to watch the show. Hopefully, the writer of the one-line show description was not the script writer for the show, as well, or else we're all in for more little gems of advice like "murderers are bad," "stay away from bad people," or "don't expect a liar to tell the truth." I suppose the lines would read more closely if I added the word "pretty" to any of those lines.

Wow, Lindy . . . you really hate the tagline. Sorry to hear it . . . but don't worry, the script writers had nothing to do with it.

I actually like Lucy as Aria...she sort of have this artsy independent way about her.

Posted by Nicki on May 26, 2010 at 05:40 PM EDT #

Lindy! I came up with such a better catch phrase! Ready? (Say dramatically) "NEVER TRUST ABC FAMILY WITH A GOOD BOOK SERIES" Simply amazing, isn't it? But we all kind of already know that too...

this is the only one of the main characters abcfamily got right. nuff said.

"Never trust a pretty girl with an ugly secret" is the tagline on the very first Pretty Little Liars book. The show is using it . . . but it started with the books.

THIS IS WHO I WANTED TO PLAY HANNA! GRRRR!!!!! She's definitely the best, though. I can kind of see her as Aria, though I think she would be better as Hanna.

she is probaly the only one that is remotly close to what i thought they'd look like:)

Posted by KASSIDY on May 28, 2010 at 06:45 PM EDT #

well, she def. looks the most like the girls on the covers...at least she has the same color hair :P i'm not too excited for the show, but i AM super psyched for Wanted!!!! :D

Posted by Lily on May 28, 2010 at 06:46 PM EDT #

I think she looks good for Aria, but I agree with Priya, I think she's be perfect for Hanna.

Posted by Megan on May 29, 2010 at 07:54 AM EDT #

ya thats what i think to they should out her as hanna:)

Posted by Kassidy on May 29, 2010 at 12:17 PM EDT #

Lucy is PERFECT for the role of Aria, she has the blackish bluish hair it looks like. She looks like she is an independant person who could do so much on her own. And she has the artsy side of her it looks like. Cheers to her for auditioning! :)

Congrats to her. And "Never trust a pretty girl with an ugly secret" isn't meant to criticize. Why do you think the book series is called Pretty Little Liars.

Lucy will be amazing in Pretty Little Liars. I'm really looking forward to the series. Also, check this out, which is so cool... Lucy at Great Friends Greetings - www.greatfriendsgreetings.com

I think its called pretty little liars because there all pretty and they all have dirty little secrets and they all tell lies to try to keep those covered up. Like when hanna's dad asked if they were playing with fireworks the night JEnna got blinded and she said noo technically they werent but they did blind her.
