Daveigh Chase spent her childhood helping define a generation of filmgoers through roles in 'Lilo & Stitch,' 'The Ring' and 'Spirited Away.' Yet in the days following her death at 35, a troubling claim from her former manager has raised fresh questions about the gap between Hollywood success and personal tragedy.
John Ryan, who managed Chase for more than a decade, says the former child star died with millions of dollars in unclaimed residual payments that she never collected during years of personal struggles. The claim emerged as a dispute unfolded over a fundraising campaign launched shortly before her death.
