Hayden Panettiere said she had "a lot more life to live" during one of her final interviews in the months before her death at age 36.
In May, the Heroes and Nashville actor spoke about her optimism after years of "darkness" and mental health struggles in an emotional, filmed interview with podcaster Jay Shetty ahead of the release of her memoir This Is Me: A Reckoning.
"I finally feel like I have shaken off all of this darkness and this negativity," the former child star said. "I've closed one door and another door is opened."
She added, "I can feel all the exciting possibilities. I feel like I have a lot more life to live."
In the years before her death, Panettiere was open about her experience with addiction to opioids and alcohol as well as postpartum depression following the birth of her daughter, Kaya, in 2014.
