Ex-Nickelodeon child star Kianna Underwood ID’d as woman killed, dragged down block in NYC hit-and-run: sources

The woman killed by a hit-and-run driver who dragged her down a Brooklyn block Friday morning has been identified as former Nickelodeon child star Kianna Underwood, law enforcement sources said.

Underwood, 33 – who appeared on the final season of the popular sketch comedy show “All That” in 2005 – was crossing at the intersection of Watkins Street and Pitkin Avenue in Brownsville when she was struck around 6:50 a.m. by a black Ford SUV, the sources said.

Footage obtained by The Post shows the car – which cops say was heading west on Pitkin Avenue – traveling for about a block before Underwood’s body tumbles out from underneath it.

Her body was discovered with severe trauma at the intersection of Osborn Street and Pitkin Avenue, and she was pronounced dead at the scene, sources said.

In addition to her role in “All That” – which starred Amanda Bynes, Nick Cannon and Kenan Thompson – Underwood played Fuschia Glover, the cousin of the main character in Nickelodeon’s “Little Bill” series, which ran from 1999 to 2004, according to her IMDB page.

Underwood, seen here with Frances Fisher, also played little Inez during the first national tour of “Hairspray.”

She also played the character Tanessha Labelle in the 1999 comedy film “The 24 Hour Woman” that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and had a limited run in theaters.

Underwood also had a minor role in “Death of a Dynasty,” a satirical 2003 film about the hip-hop industry starring Kevin Hart.

She also spent a year as a stage performer, playing little Inez during the first national tour of “Hairspray,” the IMDB profile said.

Born in the Big Apple, she later moved to Los Angeles, according to another online bio.

In Friday’s crash, investigators believe Underwood had left a bodega and crossed against the light – and the motorist may have been unaware of a pedestrian in their path, sources said.
