Michelle Trachtenberg, the actress known for her roles in films such as “Harriet the Spy” and TV shows like “Gossip Girl,” has passed away at the age of 39. According to a source from the NYPD, Trachtenberg’s death was likely due to natural causes following a recent medical issue and is not considered suspicious.
Trachtenberg gained prominence as a child star in the 1990s, notably appearing on “The Adventures of Pete & Pete” and starring in Nickelodeon’s first feature film, “Harriet the Spy,” alongside Rosie O’Donnell and J. Smith-Cameron. Her career continued with a significant role as Dawn Summers on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” from 2000 to 2003.
Following her time on “Buffy,” Trachtenberg continued to make notable television appearances, including roles in “Six Feet Under,” “House,” “Law & Order: Criminal Intent,” and “Weeds.” Most recently, she appeared in two episodes of the “Gossip Girl” revival on HBO Max.
Her recent social media activity included reflections on past red carpet events. A post from last week mentioned a memorable night in New York, where she likened her experience to feeling like Cinderella.
