Melissa Barrera talks to USA TODAY about Hayden Panettiere:
“I'm still in shock. Hayden should still be here. I feel so incredibly lucky that I got to grow up watching her and admiring her, and that I got to know her and share the screen with her. She will always be an icon in my book. Her strength and her light, despite everything she went through, were so evident and will always stay with me. I am forever grateful to her because she showed up for me when no one else did.”
“That was just the kind of person she was: A rare, honest, badass who felt so deeply. Such a heart-shattering loss. My condolences and love to her mother, her beautiful daughter, and her loved ones.”
