Sarah Hyland (Connie Francis), best known for her starring role as ‘Haley Dunphy’ on Golden Globe, SAG, and Emmy award winning hit ABC comedy series “Modern Family,” is a true triple threat. A native New Yorker, Hyland has been working in film and television since she was four years old. She made her debut in Howard Stern’s “Private Parts,” and at the age of eight landed the role of Molly in ABC’s “Annie.” At sixteen, Hyland originated the role of Jackie Bouvier in Grey Gardens at Playwrights Horizons in 2006, marking her Broadway debut. Nearly two decades later, she returned to the stage as Audrey in the 2024 Off-Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors and followed with a 2025 turn as Daisy in The Great Gatsby, marking her return to Broadway. Continuing her success on the musical front, Hyland appeared in the “Dirty Dancing” remake alongside Debra Messing and Abigail Breslin for Lionsgate. The special was aired on ABC in May 2017 to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the original movie’s release. Hyland’s television work includes early appearances in “The Audrey Hepburn Story,” “Falcone,” “Geek Charming,” “Bonnie and Clyde: Dead and Alive,” and “XOXO.” She has also guest-starred on notable series such as “Touched by an Angel,” “Law & Order,” “Law & Order: SVU,” and “Lipstick Jungle.” Sarah has also expanded into family programming as host, judge, and executive producer of the competition special “Play-Doh Squished,” bringing her energy and creativity to a playful series of challenges for teams of kids and adults. On the film side, Hyland’s credits include STRUCK BY LIGHTNING and SCARY MOVIE 5. In 2019, she starred opposite Anna Camp and Tyler James Williams in Robert Luketic’s (Legally Blonde) romantic comedy THE WEDDING YEAR, and in 2022 she could be seen in the Lionsgate and BuzzFeed LGBTQ romantic comedy MY FAKE BOYFRIEND, starring alongside Keiynan Lonsdale and Dylan Sprouse. In 2022, Hyland brought her vocal talents to the podcast medium, starring in DearMedia’s inaugural scripted narrative podcast, BONE, MARRY, BURY. The raunchy, campy, female-driven murder podcast follows 26-year-old Allie, played by Hyland, who’s closing out the worst year of her life after recently being fired, dumped, and evicted. We learn through the omniscient narrator (her Best Friend Gabe), that by the end of the month, Allie will Bone, Marry, and Bury three different people… and they’re all at this party. Hyland’s advocacy for living a healthy lifestyle, combined with her entrepreneurial savvy has led her to sign on as co-founder for the functional candy brand Sourse in 2021. Sourse then underwent a rebrand and relaunched with Hyland’s guidance, making it her mission to develop life-changing sweet treats with wellness in mind. There are currently four different types of Sourse chocolate vitamins to choose from, including Glow Bites, Hype Bites, Mood Bites, and Beauty Bites, with the latter two products coming from Hyland’s ideation. Hyland currently resides in Los Angeles.
