She booked the first series she auditioned for, 9-1-1 Nashville. She had a wonderful time,\u201d <strong>Kim McCray<\/strong> shared via Instagram. \u201cSpecial thanks to [Mark Fincannon and Shelby Holt] for casting her and [Caroline Locorriere] for that wonderful encouragement and nudge back to the acting world. Also to Lora Sorrentino for making her set experience a good one. My heart goes out to her wonderful mother [Katerina Kazakos Tate], her sister Daniella, family and friends. I was so lucky to know her and she will be greatly missed by so many.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After news broke of Tate\u2019s death, McVey, 26, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/911-nashvilles-hunter-mcvey-addresses-costar-isabelle-tates-death\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">spoke out about his<\/a> experience working with her on <em>9-1-1: Nashville<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was shocked to hear the news,\u201d McVey said in a statement. \u201cI didn\u2019t know Isabelle prior to filming, but I couldn\u2019t have asked for someone better to work with on one of my first ever days on set.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McVey recalled how Tate brightened his time on set, adding, \u201cI was terrified, nervous, and after each take we would get to exchange a couple words which were always supportive from her. I [had] the pleasure of talking with her after the scene and she had such a great energy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued: \u201cYou could tell she brought joy to a lot of people. I\u2019m thankful I got a chance to work with Isabelle and that a part of her will live on forever in the pilot episode of 9-1-1 Nashville. Prayers for her family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tate previously opened up about her health issues after being diagnosed with a progressive neuromuscular disease when she was 13.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t usually get vulnerable on this app, but l feel like this is something I have to share that\u2019s been going on in my life. When I was 13, I got diagnosed with a progressive neuromuscular disease that weakens my leg muscles over time,\u201d she wrote via Instagram in 2022. \u201cWhen I was first diagnosed, I couldn\u2019t fully understand what it was or grasp what it could be. Over the years, I was going on with my life and would notice little things get more difficult for me, but not so much where it stood out to me significantly.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"news-block\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form  \">\n<div class=\"newsletter-signup__success\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3>Thank You!<\/h3>\n<p>You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Tate\u2019s condition \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-news\/news\/9-1-1-nashville-actress-isabelle-tates-cause-of-death-revealed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">really progressed<\/a>\u201d before her death.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve come to terms that if I want to live my life to the fullest I need to use a wheelchair at times. This has been a difficult journey for me because having to accept help and surrender to the progression of this condition has been extremely hard,\u201d she continued. \u201cI would have never expected something like this to happen to me, as most of us wouldn\u2019t. I don\u2019t know why these were the cards I was dealt in life, but I can\u2019t change it so I\u2019m choosing to embrace it and not let it define me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She concluded: \u201cThis has really changed my perspective on life, and if I\u2019ve learned anything from this it\u2019s to appreciate the little things that are easily taken for granted.
