Michelle Trachtenberg of Buffy, Gossip Girl Dead at 39

Actress Michelle Trachtenberg, known for her memorable roles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Gossip Girl, has passed away at the age of 39, as reported by The Post.

Police sources indicate there's no suspicious circumstances surrounding Trachtenberg's death. According to ABC News, her mother discovered her unresponsive in her New York City apartment near Columbus Circle on Wednesday.

Reports suggest Trachtenberg recently underwent a liver transplant and may have been experiencing related complications. Authorities currently believe the death resulted from natural causes, with an autopsy pending to confirm the exact circumstances.

Trachtenberg began her career as a child actor, appearing in Nickelodeon's The Adventures of Pete & Pete at age nine before landing her breakout film role in 1996's Harriet the Spy.

The actress gained widespread recognition playing Dawn Summers, the younger sister to Sarah Michelle Gellar's Buffy, in the hit supernatural series Buffy the Vampire Slayer from 2000-2003. She later became known for scene-stealing performances in cult classics like 2004's EuroTrip and Disney's Ice Princess (2005).

From 2007-2012, Trachtenberg captivated audiences as the delightfully scheming Georgina Sparks in Gossip Girl, a role she reprised for the HBO Max revival series more recently.
