...and for those of you who may not get the cheeleader reference,



Thirty six is way too young to pass, but I think she had struggled with demons for a while, like so many child stars.

Oh boy, RIP.

I know that her ex was arrested for domestic violence in the past...... yikes... I cannot find cause of death reported anywhere.

RIP.

This was such a terrible cheesy show. But some of the songs the (real life nashville songwriters) gave the actors to do were gems they couldn't get published IRL Nashville.

It's clear that we, as a culture, can not keep children safe in the entertainment industry.

Very sad and tragic.

I took my daughter to one of her movies. My kid was pretty young. They came out of the gate with some strong sexual references. We left the theatre in the first 15 minutes. I caught it later. It was a decent hot chick/nerd movie.

RIP

Cardiac arrest from a suspected overdose.

RIP
From the interviews I've heard with her over the past, she had lot of problems/difficulty in her life.

Yes, it sounds like she struggled with addiction issues. So young and talented... I loved her in Heroes. I haven't watched Nashville yet, but it's on the list.

It’s been a long time since she was a child actor. And really, nobody is safe in entertainment. It’s sex, drugs, and misery at all ages.

Presumably, adults can choose to pursue entertainment. Children do not have the capacity to consent to joining the circus.
