Christy Knowings, who appeared on 32 episodes of Nickelodeon's sketch comedy series All That between 1997 and 2000, died Tuesday night at a Los Angeles-area hospital. She was 46.
According to a report by The Hollywood Reporter, Knowings suffered an asthma attack on Friday that left her with brain damage. She was hospitalized and placed on life support. Her family made the decision to remove her from life support on Tuesday, and she died later that night.
All That ran for 10 seasons, from 1994 to 2005, and was often described as the Saturday Night Live for kids. The show featured comedic skits and parodies performed by children and teens, along with weekly musical guests. Knowings was part of a cast that included Kenan Thompson, Amanda Bynes, Nick Cannon, Kel Mitchell, Josh Server, Kevin Kopelow, Lori Beth Denberg, Alisa Reyes and Katrina Johnson.
Thompson, who went on to become a long-running cast member on Saturday Night Live, posted a tribute to Knowings on Instagram Thursday. He wrote, "Man this one hit hard!!! Rest well Christy!!! Never could have imagined this day!! Sending so much love to her family!! She was a real one and one of the funniest people out here!!! Gonna miss you buddy!!! Show @christyknowings some love y'all!!!"
Beyond All That, Knowings had credits on New York Undercover and Sesame Street.
Her manager, Al Hill, shared a statement with The Hollywood Reporter. "Christy was a multi-talented lady," Hill said. "Whether it was singing, acting, dancing, she was always creating. Always professional and dedicated to her work."
