Ryan, who managed her for 15 years, described her as private and compassionate, emphasizing that, “She was the greatest. She loved cats. She worked with cat rescues with us. She was very to herself.”
“She was not very Hollywood. She’d rather eat at Bob’s Big Boy and go home with the cats. She loved acting but wasn’t into the fame scene,” he added.
Born July 24, 1990, Chase began acting at age 4 and landed her first Hollywood job at 7, and she retired from full-time acting in 2015.
The former child star was also known for her role in the horror film “The Ring” and for voicing Lilo in Disney’s animated classic.
