In a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by many in the entertainment industry, former“All That”star Angelique Bates raised alarm bells about her co-star Kianna Underwood long before tragedy struck. Years ago, Bates took to social media to share that Kianna was homeless in New York City, desperately needing help and expressing her disappointment in the“All That”crew for their silence. It’s a stark contrast to the image of close-knit camaraderie often portrayed in Hollywood.
Tragically, Kianna Underwood lost her life at just 33 years old after a hit-and-run accident in Brooklyn. Known for her roles on“All That”and“Little Bill,”Kianna’s passing highlights the often-overlooked challenges faced by former child stars. Bates’s call for action serves as a crucial reminder that the entertainment community must do more to support those who bring humor and joy into our lives, especially when they fall on hard times. When we laugh with them on camera, we shouldn’t forget to check in off-screen, too.
