Actress Daveigh Chase began her career at age 11 as the sister of the lead character in “Donnie Darko” (Jake Gyllenhaal) in 2001.
However, it was the following year that she rose to fame by playing the haunting Samara Morgan in “The Ring”, a role that marked her childhood and adolescence. On October 18, the film celebrates its 20th anniversary.

But that wasn’t her only prominent role, as she also voiced Lilo Pelekai in the acclaimed animation “Lilo & Sticth” (2002) and its spinoff.
In the following years, she also acted in lesser productions, such as the series “Immense Love” (2006 – 2011) and the films “The Power of a Dream” (2012) and “An American Romance” (2016). ), which marked her last work as an actress.
Now 32, Chase has distanced himself from Hollywood after a series of controversies…
In February 2017, the actress had her name linked to the death of a man she was with.
According to TMZ, the star was recognized by fans for leaving a visibly drugged individual at the door of a hospital in Los Angeles, United States, and walking away without providing any clarification.
Before being treated, the young man died of an overdose.
After that, she was called in for questioning after witnesses said she and the boy were together hours before he was taken to hospital.
At the time, she said she was just trying to help him and was not charged with any crime.
In 2017, she was arrested for possession of a stolen car when Los Angeles police officers approached her when they recognized the BMW she was riding in.
Checking the license plate of the vehicle, they discovered it was a stolen car that was on the incident records. As Chase was unable to explain the origin of the vehicle, she was arrested and released after posting $25,000 bond.
But the problems didn’t stop there…
In 2018, The Blast (via Daily Star) reported that the actress was prosecuted twice for misdemeanor and possession of a controlled substance without a valid prescription and possession of drug utensils.
In 2019, she was again arrested for a misdemeanor, just five months after being arrested for drug possession… It was the last time her name made news.
Since 2017, Chase hasn’t posted anything on social media and appears with a very different look in his latest photo.
