The past few years saw the untimely passings of "Dawson's Creek" icon James Van Der Beek and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Gossip Girl" star Michelle Trachtenberg, and now TV fans have to weather another tragic blow: The loss of Hayden Panettiere, the child star–turned–grown-up actress known for her roles in "Remember the Titans," "Bring It On: All or Nothing" and the "Scream" franchise, among others.
Panettiere died at the age of 36 on Sunday, August 16, after emergency responders found her unresponsive at an apartment complex in Greenville, South Carolina; no official cause of death has been formally announced. The performer leaves behind a daughter and a decades-spanning career that spanned popular drama series, big-budget films, soap operas and more.
