Well-regarded TV actress Annie Wersching has died, the actress passing away from cancer on Sunday morning in Los Angeles three years after being diagnosed.
The Missouri-born actress is a very familiar face to genre TV audiences. She starred as CTU agent Renee Walker across several seasons of “24,” appeared sporadically as the corner-cutting cop Julia Brasher in “Bosch,” and Karolina’s mother in “Marvel’s Runaways”.
She’s also well known for playing Joel’s smuggling partner Tess in “The Last of Us” video game. Her final role was in last year’s second season of “Star Trek: Picard” where she played the iconic villain The Borg Queen.
She also had recurring roles in “Timeless,” “The Rookie,” “General Hospital,” “The Vampire Diaries,” “Extant,” “Castle” and “Dallas” along with guesting on shows like “Boston Legal,” “Angel,” “Supernatural,” “Journeyman,” “Charmed,” “Birds of Prey,” “Cold Case,” “Rizzoli & Isles,” “Hawaii Five-0,” “Harry’s Law,” “Blue Bloods,” “Intelligence,” “Major Crimes,” and “Body of Proof”.
In a statement, her husband Stephen Full remembered his wife and the mother of their three children:
“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. 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…'”
The news was first revealed via a GoFundMe page and then subsequently confirmed by the trades.
