SOUTH CAROLINA - TV and movie actress Hayden Panettiere has died at the age of 36.
Her father made the announcement yesterday, calling her an "incredible light and a force of nature." There is no word on a cause of death at this time.

Her film credits also include Remember the Titans, I Love You Beth Cooper, Ice Princess, Bring It On: All of Nothing, and two Scream movies.
