In Loving Memory of Annet McCroskey
Talent Manager, Advocate, Mentor, Friend — A Legacy of Love and Light
It is with broken hearts and profound sorrow that we mourn the loss of Annet McCroskey — a powerhouse talent manager at Artistic Endeavors, a fierce advocate for equal human rights, a devoted wife, a loving mother, and a cherished friend to so many. Annet’s passing leaves an irreplaceable void not only in the entertainment industry but in the lives of countless individuals she guided, supported, and loved along the way.
Annet wasn’t just an extraordinary talent manager. She was a force of nature — someone whose passion for her work was matched only by her compassion for people. She had an innate ability to see potential in others long before they saw it in themselves. With unwavering belief and tireless dedication, she nurtured the careers of young actors, guiding them through an often challenging industry with honesty, integrity, and heart.
For me personally — and for my kids, my students, and our entire artistic family — Annet was more than a manager. She became part of our lives. I still remember meeting her at my very first LA to LA Showcase back in 2012. What began as a professional introduction quickly blossomed into something deeper — a bond built on mutual respect, shared dreams, and genuine friendship. From that moment on, Annet was family.
She wasn’t just a connector of careers — she was a connector of hearts. Annet opened doors, both figuratively and literally. She lifted others up, celebrated their wins, stood by them in losses, and never stopped believing in the people she took under her wing. Her kindness wasn’t reserved for special occasions — it was who she was every single day. Her strength, her wisdom, her boundless generosity — these are the gifts she gave so freely.
Annet’s impact reaches far beyond the entertainment world. As a fierce advocate for equal human rights, she used her voice to stand up for those who couldn’t. She believed in justice, fairness, and the power of community. She fought for inclusivity in an industry where voices are often overlooked, and her efforts will continue to inspire for years to come.
But perhaps her most treasured role was that of wife and mother. Annet adored her family — her loving husband and her two incredible sons, now 18 and 22, who were the center of her world. Her love for them radiated in every conversation, every story she shared, and every choice she made. To them, we send our deepest love, holding space for the unimaginable loss they now bear.
The entertainment industry, her clients, her friends, and her family will all feel the absence of Annet’s vibrant presence. Yet, even in this sorrow, we know that her legacy lives on — in every career she helped build, every dream she encouraged, every heart she touched.
Rest in peace, Annet McCroskey.
Your life was a beacon of love, strength, and hope.
You will be forever missed, endlessly loved, and always remembered.
