Sophie Nyweide Dies: Former Child Actor Of ‘Mammoth’, Darren Aronofsky’s ‘Noah’ Was 24

I don't know who she was, but 24 is way too flipping young to leave this world.

Sophie Nyweide, the former child actor who made appearances in the films Mammoth, Noah Baumbach’s Margot at the Wedding and Darren Aronofsky’s Noah, died April 14. She was 24.

In a paid obituary, her family wrote that the former actor “self-medicated to deal with all the trauma and shame she held inside, and it resulted in her death.”

“Sophie was a kind and trusting girl,” her family writes. “Often this left her open to being taken advantage of by others. She wrote and drew voraciously, and much of this art depicts the depth she had, and it also represents the pain she suffered. Many of her writings and artwork are roadmaps of her struggles and traumas. Even with those roadmaps, diagnoses and her own revelations, those closest to her, plus therapists, law enforcement officers and others who tried to help her, are heartbroken their efforts couldn’t save her from her fate. She self-medicated to deal with all the trauma and shame she held inside, and it resulted in her death. She repeatedly said she would ‘handle it’ on her own and was compelled to reject the treatment that might possibly have saved her life.”

I've been watching one or two episodes a week from around a dozen different series. SUGAR FOOT is one of them. Hutchins, in this show, has a nice laid back "ah shucks" way about him.

RIP. I remember The Alarm in the 80s. It was always fascinating how they managed to rock out on acustic guitars (even though we knew they had electric pick ups and stuff inserted).
