Ep. 178 - Hayden Panettiere

from Last Days Hosted by TMZ

On August 16, 2026, Hayden Panettiere — the actress and former child star whose performances in Remember the Titans, Heroes, Nashville, and the Scream franchise made her one of the most recognizable young stars of her generation — died in South Carolina at the age of 36. At the time of her death, Panettiere had spent virtually her entire life in the public eye, rising from a child to teenage stardom to Golden Globe nominated actress. Her career unfolded alongside an intensely scrutinized personal life — including her long relationship with heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko, with whom she had a daughter, and her candid struggles with postpartum depression and addiction — transforming Panettiere’s story from one of precocious child stardom into a complicated chronicle of fame, survival, motherhood, recovery, and a life cut tragically short. Hosts: Jason Beckerman, Derek Kaufman
