Hollywood is mourning the loss of actress Kelley Mack, best known for her roles in The Walking Dead and Chicago Med, who has died at the age of 33.
Kelley, whose full name was Kelley Klebenow, passed away in her hometown of Cincinnati on Saturday after a strong and brave fight with a rare brain condition known as glioma, which affects the central nervous system.
From a young age, Kelley showed a passion for acting and soon began landing roles in TV series and commercials. Her early start helped shape a promising career in entertainment.
She became widely recognized for her role as Addy in The Walking Dead and as Penelope Jacobs in Chicago Med, performances that highlighted her strong talent and emotional depth.
In addition to acting, Kelley had a successful career in voice-over and advertising. She lent her voice and image to various well-known brands in national commercials.
Her passing has sparked an outpouring of love and praise from fans, co-stars, and friends, all remembering her for her kindness, skill, and dedication to her work.
Actress Alanna Masterson, who starred alongside her in The Walking Dead, described Kelley as an “incredible human” and said it was an honour to share the screen with her.
A memorial service to honour Kelley Mack’s life will take place on August 16, 2025, at the Glendale Lyceum in Glendale, Ohio. A second celebration of life is also planned in Los Angeles to remember her lasting impact on film and TV.
