Sophie Nyweide, Young Actor in ‘Noah,’ ‘Mammoth’ and ‘An Invisible Sign,’ Dies at 24. Sophie Nyweide, a young actor who appeared in films like Russell Crowe’s “Noah,” Jessica Alba’s “An Invisible Sign” and more, died on Monday, April 14, her family wrote in an online obituary. She was 24.

“Sophie was a kind and trusting girl,” the obituary reads. “Often this left her open to being taken advantage of by others. She wrote and drew voraciously and much of this art depicts the depth she had and it also represents the pain she suffered. Many of her writings and artwork are roadmaps of her struggles and traumas. Even with those roadmaps, diagnoses, and her own revelations, those closest to her, plus therapists, law enforcement officers and others who tried to help her are heartbroken their efforts couldn’t save her from her fate. She self medicated to deal with all the trauma and shame she held inside, and it resulted in her death. She repeatedly said she would ‘handle it’ on her own and was compelled to reject the treatment that might possibly have saved her life.”

Nyweide got her first acting job in the 2006 film “Bella,” followed by an episode of “Law & Order” and roles in “And Then Came Love,” “Margot at the Wedding” and “New York City Serenade” a year later. She played the daughter of Gael García Bernal and Michelle Williams’ characters in the 2009 film “Mammoth.” Her other credits included “Shadows & Lies,” “Mistakes Were Made,” “Born Again” and “What Would You Do” in the 2000s and mid-2010s.

“Sophie. A life ended too soon. May it not be in vain. May we all learn from her brief life on earth and do better. Yes, we must all protect our children and do better,” the obituary reads. In lieu of gifts, the family asks people to donate to RAINN in Nyweide’s name.
