The larger issue is, and one that no one seems to discuss, is that Panettiere was yet one more in a long list of attractive female stars who was abused as a child and then saw their life spiral down into addictions and serious mental health trauma. The list is very long, and I would submit that almost every single female actress has been sexually abused and have subsequently had to deal that trauma to one degree of success or another, but addiction and serious mental health impairment is almost always a byproduct.
NEWSFLASH !
Hollywood and the entertainment industry in general is EVIL.
Similar to the Modeling Industry. Looks are fleeting. Not to make light of it, BUT every mother who gets their CHILD involved in the entertainment or modeling industry typically leads to tragedy. Yet, there are still many willing to give up their children for the one in a million chance to be a star(briefly).
As you point out the list of child actors/actresses that end up dying young is very long. People like Brittney Spears are the norm.
That is why the title of the Jim Morrison’s biography was “No One Here Gets Out Alive” or the Margot Robbie movie that came out of few years ago was called “Babylon”.
That is also why it is incredible when someone like Mick Jagger is still preforming at 83. Or Clint Eastwood is still directing into his 90s.
