Her former castmates are now mourning the loss of a friend they knew not only as a talented performer, but as someone who could light up a room.
Kenan Thompson shared his heartbreak on Instagram after learning of Knowings’ death.
“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!!!”
For fans who grew up watching All That, the news is a devastating reminder of the performers who helped shape their childhoods. Knowings brought energy, humor and a unique perspective to the screen, leaving behind memories that continue to live on with the people who watched her.
Her death comes just months after fellow All That alum Kianna Underwood died at 33 after being struck in a hit-and-run incident in New York City.
All That premiered in 1994 and ran for 10 seasons before ending in 2005. Its legacy lives on through stars such as Thompson, Mitchell, Bynes and Cannon, as well as spinoffs including Kenan & Kel and The Amanda Show.
