Christy Knowings, who was a cast member on Nickelodeon's children

Facebook.

"Christy was a multi-talented lady. Whether it was singing, acting,
dancing, she was always creating. Always professional and dedicated
to her work," her manager Al Hill said in a statement to Variety.

Knowings was a main cast member on "All That" for three season
between 1997 and 2001, and she rejoined as a guest star in Season 10.
She joined the cast alongside Leon Frierson and Danny Tamborelli for

"All That" newcomers crossed over with original series stars like
Amanda Bynes, Kenan Thompson, Kel Mitchell, Lori Beth Denberg and
Josh Server. During their run, the show later added comedians like
Nick Cannon and Gabriel Iglesias to their ranks.

to her family!! She was a real one and one of the funniest people
out here!!! Gonna miss you buddy!!! Show christyknowings some love

Outside of "All That," Knowings also appeared on three episodes of
"Sesame Street" along with her twin brother, Chris - who was a fellow
member of Nickelodeon shows like "Taina" and "The Nick Cannon Show."
After acting on "All That," Knowings took a step back from Hollywood
but released a folk music single in 2020 titled "To the World."
