We are deeply sad to learn that SCREAM franchise star Hayden Panettiere has passed away at 36 years old.
"It is with profound sadness that we share the tragic passing of our beloved Hayden," her representative said in a statement.
"She was an incredible light and a force of nature."
![Speaking on why she remained closeted until age 36 and whether she has had relationships with women, Panettiere stated, "Yeah, I did. It was scary, though, because there were paparazzi always waiting for me outside, to follow me everywhere. I had very little privacy. I have dated women. I was much more into women even as a child than I was men. I have explored it, but because I hadn't shared this with anybody, I didn't really have the courage to throw myself fully emotionally into it. Because then if I did fall in love, that wasn't something that I wanted to ever have to hide."[83]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zy6sn6tkic24e6p52g2yh4zn/bafkreiala6xwkfbb5j4tzr7wstxrirp7pdkjhx5c3dm4kcak5vvlt3jupa)
