Hayden Panettiere’s Heroes Co-Stars Stage Reunion In Her Memory

The cast of the supernatural series Heroes recently staged a reunion to collectively pay their respects to their late co-star Hayden Pantettiere.

Following her death earlier this week, actor Jimmy Jean-Louis revealed that the cast and crew of Heroes had gathered in Hayden’s memory.

He admitted: “A Heroes reunion to celebrate the life of Hayden was deeply emotional.

“There was sadness in our hearts, but also so much love, gratitude and warmth as we remembered the beautiful moments shared and the lasting impact of a life that touched so many.”

“Au revoir Hayden,” he added, alongside photos showing the likes of Santiago Cabrera, Jack Coleman, Greg Grunberg, Masi Oka, Sendhil Ramamurthy and Zachary Quinto, who took part in the event virtually.

Following the news of her death, Heroes creator Tim Kring penned a tribute for Variety, remembering her as a “true team player”, “level-headed beyond her years” and “singularly talented as an actor”.

“It wasn’t just that Hayden could learn lines with ease,” he recalled. “It was her rare ability to find and explore the nuances of drama and humor and pathos in any scene she was in.”

“As a showrunner, I have come to appreciate how rare it is to cross paths with a talent like Hayden’s. But more importantly, I will remember her as a kind and gentle person who was always a joy and an inspiration to work with,” he concluded.
