She now returns to series television playing Cole's daughter on "Wanted" (2005). Born in Johannesburg, South Africa and raised in Las Vegas before moving to Los Angeles, this 9-year-old grew up around show business. Her parents were professional dance partners who performed all over the world, and Pieterse loved being on stage with them.

She was featured on a billboard for "Supercuts" that appeared throughout the country and more recently, sang and modeled in the Macy's Passport Fashion Show, performing throughout California.

Pieterse will next be seen as the "Ice Princess" in Robert Rodriguez's (Spy Kids (2001)) feature film The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 3-D (2005), with George Lopez.

Besides acting, Pieterse loves to sing. When she is not acting or singing, you can find her horseback riding, dancing, playing the piano, and golfing with her dad. She lives in Los Angeles with her mom and dad, and her Pekinese dog named Precious, Persian cat named Pasha and a fish named Crystal.
