@impact The late Hayden Panettiere was a shining star in countless childhoods. However, her undeniable screen presence and talent were the glimmering light the industry exploited, abused, and discarded when her star waned. This pattern is one we’ve seen with Panettiere’s co-star, the late Michelle Trachtenberg, who also suddenly passed last year. Trachtenberg, a child star of the ‘00s and ‘10s, similarly faced abuse in the industry. Decades later, maybe we’re a little more aware of the kind of fame machine that has an insatiable hunger to extract everything from young girls. But Panettiere did not have to suffer for us to understand the trauma she faced as a shining face of the ‘00s. ✍️ Words by @nardos.haile 🖌️ Design by @anukivv
