Fans are remembering Ice Princess, the 2005 movie Hayden Panettiere and Michelle Trachtenberg starred in together years before their deaths.
Panettiere died on Sunday, Aug. 16, at the age of 36 and her cause of death is currently unknown. Trachtenberg died a year and a half earlier at age 39 due to complications from diabetes following a liver transplant.
After news of Panettiere’s death broke, fans recalled the one film that featured the two actresses together: Ice Princess.
The teen sports comedy-drama follows Casey Carlyle (Trachtenberg), a high school student who gives up a chance at a Harvard scholarship to pursue her newfound dream of becoming a professional figure skater.
Panettiere starred as Gennifer “Gen” Harwood, the captain of the junior ice skating team and daughter of the team’s head coach. Although Casey and Gen began as rivals, the film ends with the two becoming friends and allies.

On social media, fans reminisced about the film after realizing that both of its lead actresses had sadly passed away.
“The two Ice Princess girls are now gone ?,” one fan wrote. “RIP to both.”
“Neither making it to 40 is nuts. My goodness,” said another.
“I was just wanting to do a rewatch but now I think I’m gonna have to give it a few years ?,” added a third.
“One of the first things I thought of as well. I loved that film while growing up ???,” said a fourth.
In addition to the late actresses, the film also starred Joan Cusack and Kim Cattrall. In a 2024 interview with Access Hollywood, Panettiere said Gen was one of her favorite roles.
“[On] Ice Princess, I loved Kim Cattrall. We have the same birthday and she played my mom,” Panettiere said at the time. “First day when, they gave us about six weeks to train, I was like Bambi on ice. By the end I actually became really good.”
“I wish to this day that I had continued,” she added.
Ice Princess is available to stream on Disney+.
