HAYDEN PANETTIERE POLL

2026 is the year of shocking celebrity deaths, in my opinion.

Only a few years older then me, Hayden Panettiere was found unresponsive due to a suspected overdose.

I'm most familiar with her from Scream and also voicing a character in the video game Until Dawn.

it seems like she was in a mix of on screen and voice acting roles - but for the sake of this being an "in memory" poll - these are all on screen. I'll try to keep her voice acting movies in mind for future animated movie polls.

Cruel Intentions uploads are on the way! :)

I totally understand why Ice Princess or Bring It On: All or Nothing will probably win but Raising Helen is such a good movie too and she did such an incredible job in it!

I hope you will consider watching the top 3 : Raising Helen, Ice Princess, and Bring It On. All really good movies <3

You would also know her for Remember the Titans Ash. Also, she was the voice of Dot in A Bug's Life.

Did Ashley already watch Remember the Titans because I know Hayden was also in that. If so I’ll have to rewatch that reaction if not one of my votes would go to that.

I just know her from HEROES

I am so sorry to hear this

Ice princess, lots of people in it.

B
Brutalobarbie · August 18, 2026

The only real answer is Heroes

M
Matt Blanchette · August 18, 2026

Have you already seen "REMEMBER THE TITANS"?

J
Jeffrey · August 18, 2026

the answer for Ashleigh is yes. Look it up and view it with her on YouTuble

Nessa Arandur · August 17, 2026

Look, Bring it On All or Nothing is not a great film, and probably doesn’t show her acting talent at its best (though she’s still good in it), but dammit if I didn’t vote for it because it’s nostalgically bad.

Ice princess or Racing Stripes!

Just a reminder that television is essentially not eligible for tributes. It is too much of an undertaking to slot in. Frankly, I think she is struggling to fit in just the tribute movies due to how much they shift the schedule, so something that is almost 17 hours long is not feasible. That's not to say don't recommend it, but if it's going to happen, it's almost certainly going to have to win a straight TV poll by itself sometime in the future, and my guess is it would be months before that happens because I imagine "Supernatural" is going to keep its place thanks to the fans who want to see more of it.

Vincent Perrone · August 17, 2026

Surprised nobody said Joe Somebody. I haven't seen it, but I was just reminded not even an hour ago that she was Tim Allen's daughter in it though.

V
Vincent Perrone · August 17, 2026

I'm not shocked in the slightest by which movie is winning this poll because after another certain celeb in said movie also passed away recently, I was 100% convinced there was no way it'd be anything else. Also, that's the third Bring It On movie, but it's obviously the only one she was in.

Brooke Cerio · August 17, 2026

As great as Hayden is in Heroes, it seems like a big ask for Ashleigh to commit to another 22 episode-long tv show, because who knows what else she has in her wheelhouse? Plus if she starts heroes then other shows people want her to finish, like the boys for example, get pushed to the wayside and she can’t remember what happened last season

S
Stefan Dahlmann · August 17, 2026

PLEASE "Heroes" !!!

J
Joe Blankenship · August 17, 2026

From what I'm hearing, someone might not have been happy with her tell all book.

s
ssb031 · August 17, 2026

I'm also throwing my hat in for Ice Princess and Raising Helen since I've never seen Heroes. So sad to lose someone so young! Also, 2026 can eff off with this bs!

C
CUI13 · August 17, 2026

She was also the coach's daughter in Remember the Titans, but you already watched that.

S
Steve Friedman · August 17, 2026

Joining all the others in saying you should watch Heroes season 1. The show dropped in quality in later seasons, but the first one was pretty great.

M
Mario Claudio · August 17, 2026

Heroes

Atlas Image · August 17, 2026

Tragic, Only seen her in a couple of things, I did not know what to vote for but I watched the trailer for Ice Princess, saw another familiar face that we lost way too early.

m
maria nielsen · August 17, 2026

Hardest choice ever between "Raising Helen", "Ice Princess" and " Bring it on: all or nothing" ... so I vote what I think you would love the most: "Raising Helen " and rest in piece Hayden !<3

C
CapitalEffyou · August 17, 2026

oh no, her poor daughter, only 11. very sad.

C
Cal · August 17, 2026

Absolutely sucker punched me when I heard about it, Awful news.

H
HeyItsSuper · August 17, 2026

If you haven't already, you should play/stream the game Until Dawn (2015), could be a Hallowbeans thing maybe? She's one of the main character in it and it has Rami Malek and Peter Stormare too. It's a really good game imo and fun to watch as well, kinda plays like a movie almost.

B
Brooke Cerio · August 17, 2026

She just stated above that she’s played it

M
M Davis · August 17, 2026

Who DOESN'T want to see bouncy cheerleaders giving their all?

B
Bill Trumpler · August 17, 2026

"Remember the Titans". She was memorable as the coach's daughter.

D
Duane · August 18, 2026

Search her YouTube, pretty sure she had.

S
Sense Departed · August 17, 2026

Imo Her Theatrical acting never was especially good. she was ok in Heroes

C
Chris From Fort Worth · August 17, 2026

It's too bad that TV or music videos are out. Many consider her role in the series Heroes as her breakout role. She was also great in Nashville, which showed off her musical talents.

M
Marco Costa · August 17, 2026

Ice Princess also because of Michelle Trachtenberg ♥️

E
Evening Star · August 17, 2026

I remember watching her on One Life to Live with my mom.. she was like 5 years old I think. I voted for the only thing I was really familiar with. I was mostly familiar with her television work. The whole situation is so heartbreaking. 💔

J
Jacqueline Young · August 17, 2026

Joe Somebody is one of my favorites 😔

J
Jeb Manning · August 17, 2026

I mean, the ideal thing for a Hayden Panettiere remembrance would be the TV show Heroes. Maybe in between seasons of Supernatural, do reactions to the first season of Heroes?

O
Offred84 · August 17, 2026

Remember the Titans. She was so young, but still has such a strong preference

J
Josh Heinen · August 17, 2026

That's on the channel.

Jassell B · August 17, 2026

RIP Hayden, it's insanely sad!! I remember first seeing her on that Law & Order: SVU episode. She was the villain in th episode! She was a pretty great little actress. Apparently, her highest-rated film is a movie called "Normal" - and it looks good from the description I read. Plus, Jessica Lange is in it!!!!!

M
Melissa Bosquez · August 17, 2026

Raising Helen is my favorite. You will love it

J
Jeffrey · August 18, 2026

I Love You, Beth Cooper was the stupidest movie I've ever wasted 2 hours watching. If you watch it, I hope you agree.

M
Mikael Bergström · August 17, 2026

I mostly know her from Heroes, which is a great show I think you would like (at least season 1).

K
Kimi Serrano · August 17, 2026

Heroes!

Admiral PH9L · August 18, 2026

Save the Cheerleader, Save the World!!!!

K
Kenn E Wayne · August 17, 2026

HEROES. Just season 1 right in between supernatural season 1 and 2.

E
Echo Moon · August 17, 2026

Yes please watch Heroes.

K
Kyrianna · August 17, 2026

Raising Helen is absolutely underrated and needs more attention. Such a great movie! I feel like Ice Princess is well loved and for good reason but I think Hayden shines more in Raising Helen

J
JC · August 17, 2026

Ice Princess feels right, I've been meaning to watch it since Michelle died. I'm so sad, Hayden was in so many of my favorite childhood movies. She's so cute as the voice of Dot in A Bugs Life 😭

P
Patti Anne · August 17, 2026

Raising Helen also has Helen Miren and Joan Cusak, both of whom I believe you like

J
Jeffrey · August 18, 2026

I believe that she will love Helen Miren. My top Helen Miren movie is the military suspense spy thriller "Eye in the Sky."

L
Laura❤️ · August 17, 2026

That’s such a hard decision!! I chose Ice Princess but I would love Bring It On since she’s more of the main character.

L
Lynette Cummins · August 17, 2026

I hate it when someone dies young. She has been struggling since her brother died. 💔

A
AndreaMGC · August 17, 2026

Shocked me. She was my age (same year and same month). If she did die of an overdose my heart breaks for her. Addiction is no fcking joke. RIP Hayden

K
Karrie Orr · August 17, 2026

You should definitely consider watching Raising Helen. It will definitely not win this poll but is such a great and touching movie🥹😍

B
Brooke Cerio · August 17, 2026

I remember finding it kinda corny, not my jam, but I’m glad people like it!

J
Jordan Wyant · August 17, 2026

Ice Princess!! Her and Michelle T 💔
