Heartbreaking news of Hayden Panettiere passing Aug 16 2026 at the age of 36

Hayden was only less than a week from her 37 birthday. There aren't many details yet. An amazing actress with so much range, a woman who had real struggles but fought through them and made it out the other side. "Don't put dirt on my grave just yet" that she sang on the tv show Nashville couldn't be more accurate for how she concurred her struggles. She has been one of my absolute favorite actresses since I was a little girl. She will be missed by many especially me.

Bring It On, Heros, Ice Princess, Scream, Nashville and much more...

I can't believe I'm writing this today but Hayden Panettiere has passed away at the age of 36. She leaves behind an 11 year old daughter, Kaya.

She was best known for her roles in Heroes and Nashville, and had recently released a memoir detailing her tumultuous life. In a recent interview with Jay Shetty she was hopeful for the future and had exciting plans. Hayden was known as a kind-hearted and loving person by all those who worked with her.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that when you work in an industry dominated by white men, you will inevitably experience a lot of creepy sexism. Alas, white men seem to dominate literally every industry, so this chaos is unavoidable, but it’s especially prevalent in the world of pop culture criticism. You don’t have to look far to find reviews of films, TV shows, albums, and so on, that descend into the super unnerving territory. There are far too many critics who seem to think, much like the celebrity profile, that reviews are permission for them to share their sexual fantasies. Other times, they act as though their occupation gives them the right to offend or attack, under the guise of critical theory. As we continue our conversations on the necessity of diversity in criticism and entertainment, let us never forget the creepy and sexist reviews that plagued us for so many years. Let us learn from them. And be grossed out by them.
