- Carla Jeffery died Sept. 1 at age 33, according to a statement from her management company Alexanders Talent, which did not disclose a cause of death.
- Jeffery played cheerleader Bree in Disney Channel's 2018 film "Zombies" and reprised the role in "Zombies 2," "Zombies 3," and the animated "Zombies: The Re-Animated Series."
- Jeffery appeared as Keysha Black in 10 episodes of HBO's "Curb Your Enthusiveness" and had small roles in "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend," "Uncle Buck," and "American Vandal."
- Born in Houston, Jeffery was the twin sister of actor Carlon Jeffery, who appeared in Disney Channel's "A.N.T. Farm."
- Jeffery began acting at age 12, with an early credit in the 2006 film "Phat Girlz" opposite Mo'Nique.
Why it matters: No cause of death was disclosed by Alexanders Talent, leaving the circumstances of Jeffery's death at 33 unclear. Her most recent role — voicing Bree in the current "Zombies: The Re-Animated Series" — confirms she was still actively working in the franchise where she built her following, making the sudden loss land harder for that audience.
