She gave what turned out to be her final performance in the thriller Sleepwalker, which was released on VOD in January.
With a return to acting and writing her book checked off, her remaining “laundry list of aspirations,” as she put it to the New York Times in May, included producing and directing, perhaps creating a makeup or jewelry line, and maybe even starting a lifestyle brand.
And she was trying her hand at writing a show, explaining to E!, “If I don’t have an outlet—an emotional outlet—something to do, something to put my heart into, and something to be passionate about, then I end up self-destructing.”
The Scream 4 star had been scheduled to appear at July’s Creep I.E. Aftermath horror convention in Ontario, Calif., but, according to a statement on the event’s Instagram, couldn’t attend due to an unspecified emergency.
