‘Last of Us’ and ‘Star Trek’ actress Annie Wersching dies at 45
Actress Annie Wersching died at the age of 45 in Los Angeles on Sunday after a battle with cancer, her publicist told CNN on Sunday.
“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,” her husband, Stephen Full, wrote in a statement to CNN.

“We love you Annie Wersching. You will be deeply missed,” actress Abigail Spencer, who appeared on the sci-fi series Timeless, tweeted.
The actress was diagnosed with cancer in 2020 and continued to act despite undergoing cancer therapy.
