Anna Paquin Speaks Out About Child Stars After Hayden Panettiere's Death
Paquin said young actresses are often left unprotected and cited recent deaths of former child stars as evidence of lasting harm.
- On Friday, actor Anna Paquin posted a tribute to Hayden Panettiere, condemning Hollywood's treatment of child stars following the actress's death at age 36.
- Panettiere died last week in Greenville, South Carolina, prompting Paquin and fellow actor Rose McGowan to criticize the "profoundly sad" treatment of former child stars by industry systems.
- Paquin, a former child star who won an Oscar at age 11, noted it is "not a coincidence" that many "pre-sexualized female, child stars" suffer untimely ends, calling the industry a "strange small club."
- Rose McGowan also paid tribute, posting "Rest in Power Hayden Panettiere" and urging "Don't put kids in show business," while police reported finding Panettiere unresponsive with "no signs of foul play."
- Panettiere's memoir, published earlier this year, detailed her struggles with addiction and body dysmorphia from early fame; her death follows recent passings of Michelle Trachtenberg and Daveigh Chase.
