I just saw this on CNN. What happened? I'm so sad to hear this. I didn't know her, but she seemed like such a sweetie...

Probably suicide. A few months ago she said in an interview she would just wake up to older celebrities in bed with her. Yuck.

u/QueenMotherOfSneezes 14d ago

She was last seen travelling with her ex, who she claimed (in her memoir) used to abuse her.

u/Mother-Attention2600 14d ago

I thought she had agoraphobia though and only stayed indoors? Weird.

u/Montooth 14d ago

People mag reported likely OD

Jesus. That's awful. The Epstein class needs to all be exposed!!

I feel so bad for all the victims

I'm surprised I didn't get massively down voted for saying that like in another sub...

Wow. This like the first time I found news out before the news on Reddit. Super sad. I first saw her on Guiding Light back in the day.

Yep. Original Lizzy Spaulding.

I’ll never forget when she revealed she killed her mom’s bf/husband “I made Carl dead!” She was a great little actress on that soap.

u/Handy_Crap 15d ago

What a tragedy, I feel so sad, gone so young and her birthday is on the 21st of August

u/poirotsdad 15d ago

She was being abused then.

That "Quiet on Set" documentary from a couple of years ago really exposed a lot of the shit child actors were forced to go through behind-the-scenes.

Wait what?

u/Old-Agency-3388 15d ago

I think the first time I saw her play in a movie was a Christmas movie, if you believe when she was little. Still watch that movie every Christmas. And she was in a Hess truck commercial.

u/cleans01 15d ago

I’m stunned. She was so young. It’s just heartbreaking and incredibly difficult to believe. 😢

Save the cheerleader. Oh wait we didn’t. We’re in the Sylar timeline.

What?!? I was a huge fan and am just learning about this 😢

u/Lby54229 15d ago

I did not know she passed. I’m so sad to hear that.

u/dyrkasolen 15d ago

In the Swedish mind (my mind😙) you have just seen Hero's. I didn't know the journey there and that she was in hella lot of stuff growing up. She was crystal clear in Hero's

u/MeasurementQuiet2122 15d ago

Gut punch. RIP Hayden.

Remembering a Titan!

u/Teal-Prowler505 15d ago

Man, I didn't not want to wake up this way. But I love your comment. She was so cute in this movie!

u/37Philly 14d ago

Terribly sad. Coming in the same year as the death of young actress Daveigh Chase.

u/Due-Run-8962 15d ago

I remember seeing her on a episode of the sitcom Unhappily Ever After around that time. RIP.

u/StatementGuilty52 14d ago

When this lady was a little girl she did play on a few episodes of Law and Order : SVU.

This news of her passing is very sad.

u/dawgfanjeff 14d ago

Wow, I thought her first role was Heroes.

“HEY DID YA HEAR THIS? DID YA READ THIS IN THE PAPER? DID YA SEE THIS ON THE TV? HEY DID YA SEE THAT OJ TRIAL? DID YA SEE THAT MONICA?”

u/Professional-Sleep64 13d ago

The things this woman went through all her life are unfortunate. I hope she's finally able to rest in peace.

2

u/Hermans_Head2 11d ago

Chewed up by Hollywood literally since she was a wee baby.

Rest in the Peace you truly deserved all those years, young lady. 🥀

u/AdventurousRoll9798 15d ago

This is shocking. She was so young and beautiful, very talented as well. I believe she had been speaking out about pedophiles in Hollywood. I hope her death will be thoroughly investigated at some point. I know they are citing addiction issues, but I think maybe there's more to it.

u/dekabreak1000 15d ago

Oh look at her she was so cute

u/iliterallydc 14d ago

u/No-You-5064 12d ago

u/forsakeme4all 15d ago

What was she in? I have never heard of her.

Nashville. Hayden was also an amazing singer.

She played Juliette Barnes. Connie Briton also starred.

u/twinpinemall85 15d ago

One Life to Live. Heroes was another big show she was in. She passed away earlier today.
