Annie Wersching, who is known for her roles in beloved TV shows such as Star Trek: Picard, Runaways, 24, Bosch, and Timeless, has passed away at the age of 45 due to cancer. Her death was confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter through a statement by her husband Stephen Full released by her rep.
"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," Full wrote paying tribute to his late wife.
"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…'"
Wesching appeared in several TV shows throughout her career. Most recently, she played the Borg Queen during the second season of Star Trek: Picard and Leslie Dean in the Marvel/Hulu series Runaways. She also starred in Timeless, 24, Bosch, and The Rookie. She also played Tess in The Last of Us video game.
Star Trek: Picard executive producer Akiva Goldsman paid tribute to the actress in a statement. "Annie was a gift to us all, and an utter joy to work with. Her entire Star Trek family is heartbroken. Our deepest condolences go out to her family," he said.
"My heart was broken to hear that we lost Annie this morning. She made our set a joy every day she was there. A true professional and a beautiful human being in every way possible," executive producer Terry Matalas also said in his tribute to the actress.
The actress is survived by her husband Stephen Full, and their three children, Freddie, Ozzie, and Archie. A GoFundMe has been set up in her honor to support her family.
