Daveigh Elizabeth Chase (born Chase-Schwallier; July 24, 1990 – June 16, 2026) /dəˈveɪ/ də-VAY[1] was an American actress. She first came to prominence as a child actress, portraying Samantha Darko in the cult classic film Donnie Darko (2001) and voicing the characters of Chihiro Ogino in the English dub of the Studio Ghibli film Spirited Away (2001) and Lilo Pelekai in the Walt Disney Animation Studios animated feature film Lilo & Stitch (2002). For her performance in the latter, she won an Annie Award in 2003, and she continued to voice Lilo in its subsequent media franchise.
This is just a friendly reminder not to donate to the GoFundMe set up by her “boyfriend” to pay for funeral expenses. All of her funeral and other final expenses are fully paid for by the Screen Actors Guild.
This “boyfriend” is the same person who claims to have been by her side while she was malnourished and living completely homeless while her family was actively searching for her because they found a photo of her online, deathly skinny and living on the street.
