The death of Hayden Panettiere at the age of 36, still due to unclear causes, has shocked the public. Since the early 2000s, this New York actress has appeared in a handful of generational classics, also being able to stand out on television while also developing a career as a singer, originally within the framework of Disney. It was in fact with the distribution of the Mouse House that he had his first major role, although then it had to be limited to his voice. Dot in 'A Bug's Life, a Miniature Adventure' (1998) And Panettiere was also able to shine as a voice actress, starting off in style in a Pixar classic like A Bug's Life, a Miniature Adventure. She played Dot, one of the main ants, and after this great landing (also resulting in a Grammy nomination) she stayed close to Disney to give voice to one of the lemurs in Dinosaur two years later. Gen Harwood in 'Soñando, soñando... I triumphed skating' (2005) Panettiere was in fact one of the many young talents of the Disney quarry, obtaining his first leading role in the Disney Channel television film Tiger Cruise and, in 2005, making himself known in style with Soñando, soñando... I triumphed skating. A film that is being remembered a lot these days, as it co-stars another actress who sadly, like Panettiere, died very young and a little over a year ago: Michelle Trachtenberg, here friend and ally of Panettiere. Claire Bennet in 'Heroes' (2006-2010) The same year that Panettiere succeeded Kirsten Dunst in the unmemorable sequel to A for All, television welcomed her with open arms to play another cheerleader. It was then that Panettiere really established himself, standing out in an ensemble cast of people gifted with superpowers that would delight audiences for four seasons on NBC. Beth Cooper in 'The Night of Your Life' (2009) Panettiere returned to work as a cheerleader in a youth comedy that could alternate with the final bars of Heroes. In this case, she turned out to be the great love of the school nerd, played by Samm Levine, and she was the object of a public declaration of love that changed everything. Kirby Reed in 'Scream' (2011-2022) Having become a well-known star among adolescent audiences, the next logical step was to join a well-known saga like Scream. Panettiere joined as Kirby Reed in the latest installment directed by Wes Craven (and one of the most underrated), exuding enough charisma so that 11 years later she returned to appear in Scream VI as an acidic FBI inspector. Juliette Barnes in 'Nashville' (2012-2018) Panettiere's musical experience ended up being very useful for what is possibly her most profound dramatic role: that of Juliette Barnes in this musical drama. Barnes had been a teenage country sensation, but now that adulthood was knocking on his door he wanted to try making more adult music, and he did so for five seasons with Golden Globe and Critics Choice nominations. Sam Giddings in 'Until Dawn' (2015)
