Annie Wersching, best known for her roles in the television shows Star Trek: Picard and 24 has passed away. She was 45.
Wersching's publicist confirmed the news ET Sunday, sharing that the actress passed after a battle with cancer. Her husband, actor Stephen Full also issued a statement, in which he reflected on the tremendous "hole" left behind in the wake of his wife's death.
"There is a cavernous hole in the soul of this family today. But she left us the tools to fill it. She found wonder in the simplest moment. She didn't require music to dance. She taught us not to wait for adventure to find you. 'Go find it. It’s everywhere.' And find it we shall," Fulls' told Deadline. "As I drove our boys, the true loves of her life, down the winding driveway and street, she would yell BYE! until we were out of earshot and into the world. I can still hear it ringing. Bye my Buddie. 'I love you little family…'"
A GoFundMe has been launched to support the actress's family during this difficult time. Per the description in the fundraiser, Wersching was diagnosed with the disease in the summer of 2020, but kept it largely under wraps, continuing to work while she battled the illness.
Wersching, who was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, has other notable TV credits including Timeless, Bosch and The Rookie.
