Born on 11 October 1985 in New York City, the death of Michelle Trachtenberg was confirmed yesterday 26 February 2025. The actress is perhaps best known for playing Buffy Summers’ sister Dawn, in the hit TV show from 2000 to 2003.

“I cannot believe it, Harriet in The Spy is my favourite movie,” said WrestlingAEW24 replying to a tweet from PopCulture2000s, referring to Michelle Trachtenberg playing a leading role in that film.

“Rest in peace Michelle Trachtenberg, forever our ice princess,” replied kamineyhub to a post from DiscussingFilm.
