Madeline Zima, who starred alongside Hayden Panettiere in "Heroes," has spoken out about the late actress's character. Zima described Panettiere as exceptionally kind and loving, noting that she was "all heart and guts." She indicated that Panettiere often put others before herself, even if it meant creating distance.
Zima's statements come with the hope that Panettiere's daughter, Kaya, will learn about her mother's goodness through the shared stories and love of others. Panettiere and Zima famously shared a scene in the final season of "Heroes." Panettiere, who appeared in most episodes of the show, had a 9-year relationship with boxer Wladimir Klitschko, with whom she had Kaya in 2014.
Sadly, Hayden Panettiere was found unresponsive on Sunday at a residence in South Carolina. First responders made efforts to resuscitate her, but she could not be saved. She was only 36 years old at the time of her passing.
