  "account": "Rose McGowan honored the late \"Scream\" star Hayden Panettiere following her death with an Instagram post, pleading for children to avoid show business. The #MeToo advocate, who herself experienced sexual harassment from Harvey Weinstein at 23, has been a staunch advocate for women's rights in Hollywood. \"Rest in Power Hayden Panetierre,\" McGowan, 52, wrote atop a reel of the ocean on Instagram. \"Don't put kids in show business,\" she continued. \"None of this is normal. May her spirit be free of those who orchestrated.\" Panettiere passed away last weekend at 36. The coroner's office stated on Monday that the cause and circumstances of her death were still under investigation, though an apparent overdose was reported by emergency workers. Panettiere had openly discussed her history with drug use in her memoir \"This Is Me: A Reckoning.\" She began her career as a child star, appearing in \"Guiding Light,\" \"A Bug's Life,\" and \"Remember the Titans.\" She became a leading actress in \"Heroes\" and the \"Bring It On\" film series, joining the \"Scream\" franchise in 2011. Other co-stars have since paid tribute to the late actress. Viola Davis, her co-star in \"Custody,\" noted her wisdom and deep heart, wishing there had been more time to enjoy her talent. Connie Britton, her \"Nashville\" co-star, shared memories of working together, expressing heartbreak over her loss. Emma Roberts, who starred with Panettiere in \"Scream 4,\" called her \"so loved\" and expressed eternal sadness at her passing. Panettiere's birthday coincided with the tribute, prompting her ex-fiancé Wladimir Klitschko to pay tribute on what would have been her 37th birthday. Klitschko thanked fans for their outpouring of support, finding solace in the kindness shown during a time of great sadness.",
