[K.C.]

That is so bizarre. Good heavens. RIP.

 

[Berly]

So so sad, quite devastating

 

[rhythmbandit]

So sad and her brother died in 2023 too

Absolutely LOVED her in Heroes and Nashville.

 

[Ellie]

OMG

 

[Debbie Jellinsky]

Oh no

 

[ExcitableWoof]

Well that’s horrible. RIP

 

[jivafox]

Awful news. Poor girl.

 

[Tisch]

Sounds like she had a tough life. I only really knew her from Nashville which she was brilliant in. Her character being more autobiographical than I appreciated at the time. RIP.

 

[Ellie]

I first remember her from playing Ally McBeal’s daughter, then going on to Heroes. But my enduring memory was her being very fun on the Graham Norton Show, being pulled up to dance with Pharrell Williams.

And of course the underrated character of Kirby in the Scream films.

 

[supermassive]

She was so IT in Heroes

I only really saw her in the Scream films and in Nashville.

I don't think she was underrated, Kirby was a huge fan favourite.

 

[Jark]

oh my god

 

[Ellie]

I don't think she was underrated, Kirby was a huge fan favourite.

I’m not clued up on Scream fandom. I just always assumed the legacy sequels weren’t well thought of.

 

[Jacques]

So sad. Loved the first season or two of Heroes, she was definitely a highlight of it.

RIP

4 has been reappraised in recent years because it was Wes Craven's last film, and 5 and 6 have their fans, too. 7 I'm not so sure.

 

[FannyFaudrey]

Her poor daughter.

 

[GNL]

Oh no, that's incredibly sad.

I remember really liking her in Heroes, and bopping to this back in the day:

 

[ButterTart]

Someone just told me about this on our morning work call. My brain is scrambled.

 

[octophone]

Very sad, poor soul. RIP.

 

[OutSynk]

Absolutely crazy. Heroes was one of the main series from the 00s for me.

 

[Rita]

Oh wow. How incredibly sad.

 

[K.C.]

I know her and her mom had a complicated relationship but this is just heartbreaking.

 

[straightorbroken]

What a lovely thing to do: greying out the children who are now dead.

I don't know if I want to click on the link in the first post. I never knew her story, but on screen I of course made assumptions that she had a great life as her presence was so robust and beaming with an undeniable blonde bombshell beauty. I know her best from Nashville.

 

[K.C.]

 

[PercyPig]

Wow that’s crazy! I loved her in everything I had seen her in.

Shouts outs to Telescope and THAT performance in Scream 4 doing the pop quiz.

 

[Mark R 3]

Really sad news. RIP.

 

[dUb]

Appears to be an overdose

 

[Jark]

her brother dying 3 years ago, an ongoing strained relationship with her parents and substance issues for parts of her life sounds like a pretty rough combination of things to be dealing with. poor woman.

 

[K.C.]

Viola so sweet for these words.

 

[Devil]

I’m actually quite shook by this, despite not being a huge follower. Her comeback in Scream (6?) was such a fabulous, full circle moment, and obviously the big Heroes/Nashville roles meant she always seemed there despite not being a lot recently due to her troubles that she spoke openly about.

Such a shame

 

[Devil]

I’m not clued up on Scream fandom. I just always assumed the legacy sequels weren’t well thought of.

I don’t think they were as such, but outside the main three characters she was probably the most known, constantly rumoured to be coming back, and best thought of out of anyone in the whole franchise. Thank god she did at least once.

 

[Sheena]

I loved Nashville. And especially this:

 

[supermassive]

Somehow I totally missed out on the Nashville wave, it was pretty much the Yellowstone of its time in terms of popularity, right? Or

 

[K.C.]

Such a gorgeous girl.

 

[K.C.]

I cannot with this BUM ASS statement.

 

[straightorbroken]

Actually, I'm editing my comment about the mom. Maybe the quote is a little out of context and lord knows the grief she'll be experiencing.

lovely tribute from the creator of Heroes

Hayden and I didn’t have too much contact after “Heroes” ended in 2010. A few years later, however, when I inquired with her agent about her availability for another project, Hayden called immediately and teasingly admonished me. “You don’t have to call my agent. Don’t be Hollywood about it. Just pick up the phone and call me,” she insisted.

As a showrunner, I have come to appreciate how rare it is to cross paths with a talent like Hayden’s. But more importantly, I will remember her as a kind and gentle person who was always a joy and an inspiration to work with.
