Actress Hayden Panettiere passed away on Sunday at the age of 36, leaving shocked fans to grapple with her legacy. Panettiere was a child actor before she was even a year old, and she left behind some unforgettable work from Heroes to Nashville. Her role as Kirby Reed may be her most groundbreaking contribution to pop culture, and she was uniquely qualified for it. The Scream franchise has always been a deconstruction of horror tropes, and Scream 4 in particular tackled the rise of social media and the "attention economy." Panettiere played the most fun and surprising character in the movie, partly because she broke the rules of the franchise itself.
