Acting Career
Underwood began her acting career at 6 years old in 1999. She is best known for providing the voice of Fuchsia Glover, Little Bill’s cousin, in the Nick Jr. animated television series Little Bill (1999–2004). In 2005, she got her big break when she landed a role on the 10th season of Nickelodeon's All That.[2]
Later life and death
In 2021, Underwood was found homeless on the streets of Brooklyn, New York.[3] In 2023, former All That star Angelique Bates warned her followers that she was still homeless in New York.[4][5] [6][7]
On January 16, 2026 at 6:40AM at the intersection of Pitkin Avenue and Mother Gaston Boulevard[8], Kianna was hit by 2 cars while crossing the street and dragged a block in Brooklyn, New York. Both cars fled the scene. Police responded to a 911 call and Kianna was pronounced dead at the scene.[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]
Three days after Underwood's death on January 19, 2026, one of the vehicles, a black 2021 Ford Explorer owned by 71 year old Michael Griffiths, has been seized by the NYPD.[18][19]
Aftermath and reaction
Five days after her death on January 21, 2026, Bates spoke out on Underwood's death saying that her death was completely avoidable if her castmates and/or Nickelodeon had stepped in to help her out.[20][21]
On January 21, 2026, Griffiths recalled hitting 'something' when he hit Underwood.[22][23]. No arrests have been made so far.

- ↑ "I don't have the words, but I'll try. Kianna was always smiling. She was an absolute joy to be around, with boundless positivity and cheerfulness. It's not easy to join an established TV show cast, but she became part of the All That family instantly. I remember her cute laugh, her funny impressions, and her work ethic. Can't recall her ever complaining about long hours or painful wigs.She came from Broadway which I always admired, as Broadway was an early dream of mine that never came true. I loved her like a sister during our time together, and I wish I would've made more of an effort to keep in touch over the years.My heart is with her family. The world lost a very kind person, and we're short on those. Rest in peace, Kiki. 💔 I miss you". www.instagram.com. Retrieved 2026-08-14.
