RIP, a real talent
damn, that’s terrible. i wasn’t a big Nashville watcher or whatever, but watched a bunch of Heroes when it came out.
the news cycle never seemed to let up on her, the seemingly-tragic story of her life as a young woman on the screen, and the traumatic fallout of being managed by her seemingly toxic mother. and the comments people made about her were always so brutal.
i legit hate that i even have a narrative about this person’s private life, but the stories and vitriol were unavoidable at times.
Damn that’s too young for anyone. I recognize the face but never watched anything of hers. I wonder what the cause of death was.
Seems like she was a well known actress, but I also haven’t heard much from her in the past years. Not that says much, I don’t pay much attention to tv.
Some interesting bits from the Activism section of her Wikipedia page (not to say she deserved anything, I was only reading for curiosity):
On January 28, 2008, Panettiere handed a letter of protest to the Norwegian ambassador in the U.S., arguing that Norway should stop its hunt for whales. She also delivered a letter to the Japanese ambassador calling for an end to Japan’s hunting of whales.
In September 2008, Panettiere launched her own line of calfskin leather bags for the company Dooney & Bourke.
On December 6, 2013, Panettiere and her then-fiancé Wladimir Klitschko visited the Euromaidan protests in Kyiv, Ukraine.[66] Wladimir’s brother, Vitali, was one of the leading figures of the protests.
She was engaged to the brother of Klitschko? That’s hilarious, why do famous people do this shit. They will go and date C-Listers from the other side of the planet instead of a prole. They think they’re a different species or something.
She died not too far from me, and it seems like she might have been dealing with an abusive ex. She was also a child actor and was absolutely exposed to abuse from an early age. This is just tragic all around really.
she only wanted Japan to stop killing the whales so she could launch a line of whaleskin leather bags.
Oh no now the world is doomed.

she was the voice of Dot in A Bug’s Life
she’s the face of millenial nostalgia, Heroes S1 was a cultural moment like Lost.
She was also one of the few openly-bi actors out there.
She used to be a lot more famous back when us millennials were kids/young adults. I had actually forgot she existed until this post.
