From a young age, Sara Paxton expressed a desire to become an actress. While attending El Camino Real High School, she was actively involved in school plays and extracurricular activities. Sara often embraced theatrical performances, occasionally dressing as fictional characters for school events. Although she came from a well-off family and had the option of homeschooling, she opted to attend public school to engage more fully with her peers and activities. After graduating, she initially considered enrolling at New York University but ultimately chose to focus on her acting career due to increasing opportunities in television and film.
Paxton began her acting career at an early age. She made her film debut at age nine with an uncredited role in the 1997 comedy Liar Liar, starring Jim Carrey. Throughout her school years, she frequently appeared in television series and films, building an impressive résumé.

She also had guest roles in popular shows like Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction, Will & Grace (2004), and Malcolm in the Middle (2004).
Sara made two separate guest appearances in the CSI television franchise—first in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (2002) and then in CSI: Miami (2003). During this period, many of her roles were guest appearances, though she also secured recurring roles in series like Greetings from Tucson and Summerland. Her career gained momentum when she landed the leading role in the Discovery Kids series Darcy's Wild Life (2004–2006), where she played Darcy Fields.
