Kate and Oliver Hudson publicly remembered their late friend and former co-star Hayden Panettiere on the Nov. 10 episode of their podcast "Sibling Revelry," nearly three months after her death at 36, according to PopCulture.

Kate, who co-starred with Panettiere in "Raising Helen," called her "incredible," "fierce" and "strong-willed." Oliver, who worked with Panettiere on "Nashville," recalled that "no one remembered lines like her," saying she would arrive on set having memorized huge chunks of dialogue after reading her sides just once or twice. Panettiere's family previously described her as "an incredible light and a force of nature" in a statement following her death.
