Michelle Trachtenberg DEAD at 39

[Wor-Gar]

Seems impossible... Michelle Trachtenberg DEAD at 39.

Crazy. Saw her in (or at least knew of her being in) a lot of movie/TV media. My favorite would have to be Eurotrip though. RIP.

Basing on that photo, it seems she has liver problems.

Far too young. I had seen pictures of her looking less than healthy recently. Apparently she'd had a liver transplant so that explains that.

So sad. Beautiful girl. And it really puts a dampener on the new Buffy series. We would have expected to see her character at some point.

Awful

Sad news. Don't think I ever saw her in anything post Buffy myself, but it was still nice to see her have a pretty decent career afterwards.

Yeah, while I remember being a bit annoyed early in Season Five of Buffy at her introduction, I thought they did it well and she became a pretty integral character. The highlight for me was the episode "Normal Again" where they used the "imagined sister" as part of the story of Buffy's dementia in the asylum. She seemed to embrace her place in pop culture with fans as well. Too soon and very sad

39. Jesus.

 

[YoNoSe]

So sad. I only knew her from Buffy but my wife & are huge Buffy fans, just starting to introduce my daughter to it. Just yesterday I showed her MT's dance scene in Once More With Feeling. RIP!

Tragic news

I haven't seen BTS (yet), but I remember her from some Disney shows/movies when I was much young, most notably for me, Ice Princess (2005) and Inspector Gadget (1999)

Jesus, she was so young.

 

[HyperDrive]

In my mid-twenties but damn, gone at 39… When I saw the headline I just couldn’t believe it. So sudden, and so young..

 

[Johnny1378]

Wasn’t very familiar with her work, but man, 39 is way too young to go. Very sad.

 

[Rambler]

I only knew her from Eurotrip. RIP

Life is a blessing. Live everyday like it’s your last. You never know what’s coming or when. I’m grateful for every day I’m here. There’s a lot of people in the world that didn’t wake up today and there’s going to be a lot who don’t wake up tomorrow. Live your day to the fullest regardless of what you do.
