Jennette McCurdy's Mom Dies Of Cancer

Jennette McCurdy has suffered a huge loss as her mom Debra passed away on Friday after a long battle with cancer.
 


In a statement, McCurdy's rep was quoted as saying: "Jennette has suffered an unimaginable loss. Please respect her and her family's privacy at this time of mourning. She appreciates the love and support of her fans."

McCurdy, 21, had been scheduled to host Nickelodeon's Worldwide Day of Play on Saturday.


Debra McCurdy was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1995 and survived, only to have the illness come back throughout her body in 2010.

The younger McCurdy wrote about her mother's battle for the Wall Street Journal in 2011.

At the time the "iCarly" and "Sam & Cat" actress claimed: "If you're reading this and you were one of those people who thought: "young actors have perfect lives", I hope that you will think differently now."

"We do have challenges. We do cry. We are experiencing difficult things" McCurdy noted, adding: "But we will continue to smile and crack jokes because, as entertainers, even if we're privately struggling with painful trials, our job is to make others forget theirs."
