Actress Annie Wersching, known for her featured recurring roles on 24 and Bosch, as well as Marvel’s Runaways, passed away Sunday, January 29, 2023 from cancer. She was 45.

Her most recent role was the Borg Queen on Star Trek: Picard season two.

Her first screen credit was on Star Trek: Enterprise, launching a string of guest appearances including Birds of Prey, Frasier, Angel, Cold Case, Boston Legal, Supernatural, and Charmed. Her first recurring role came on General Hospital, for which she played Amelia Joffe for 80 episodes.

She landed the role of FBI Agent Rene Walker, who teamed with Kiefer Sutherland (as CTU Agent Jack Bauer) on seasons seven and eight of 24. She would later appear with Sutherland on Touch.

“The world lost a light today @Wersching was one of the greatest actors I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with, and my friend. My heart breaks for her young family. May she be remembered for the beautiful person that she was,” Sutherland tweeted.

Following 24, she had the high-profile roles of Julia Brasher on Amazon’s Bosch and Leslie Dean on Runaways, as well as recurring on Dallas, Timeless, Extant, The Vampire Diaries, and The Rookie.

Her guest starring spots also included Blue Bloods, Major Crimes, Castle, among others.

According to reports, she had been diagnosed with cancer in 2020, but chose to keep it private.  She is survived by her husband, Stephen Full, and children Freddie (12), Ozzie (9), and Archie (4).

“Annie was diagnosed with cancer Summer of 2020. She’s a private person by nature, and the diagnosis made her even more so. She wanted to protect her boys. She wanted to get better so she could continue working. And honestly, she just didn’t really want to talk about it. She wanted to live her life, on her terms, and be with her family,” actress Ever Carradine posted on a GoFundMe page she started for Wersching’s children.
