First her show was canceled and then she got even worse news. Cancer.

It was just a few years ago that this actress landed a recurring role on a network television series.

She had been acting for all of two years when she was cast. It had been a very quick rise for the stunningly good looking actress who was also dating a network star from a hit show.

Things were about to explode for the actress and she was about to be cast as the female lead in a huge box office summer popcorn movie when her world came crashing down.

First her show was canceled and then she got even worse news. Cancer. Terminal cancer the doctors told her.

She was given a very short time to live but decided to fight with every thing she could and she did it.

She knocked her terminal cancer into remission.

While she was on chemo and every other treatment she could think of she tried to keep acting and keep her career momentum going to but it was tough when she didn’t even know if she was going to be alive when the part was shot.

For the past few years she has fought and fought and the cancer keeps coming back and she keeps ending up in the hospital and it is amazing how no one wonders whatever happened to the amazing actress with the bright future who was going to be an “it girl” and then dropped off the map.

The A list future that was taken away not by anything she did, but because of cancer.
