Although the cause of her death has not been disclosed, insiders claim that it is not being looked at as suspicious.
Over the years, Trachtenberg starred in many iconic films, such as “Ice Princess,” “Harriet the Spy,” “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” and “Gossip Girl.”
Around eight in the morning on Wednesday, Michelle was discovered in her residence in New York City by her mother, Lana Trachtenberg.
Her 800,000 Instagram followers speculated about her health and whether she had plastic surgery after she appeared gaunt in recent months’ images.
After she looked haggard in recent months’ photos, her 800,000 Instagram fans conjectured about her health and whether she had plastic surgery.
Another fan accused her of receiving plastic surgery: “You’re stunning, but you had buccal fat removal. Your cheeks instantly look sucked in, exactly the same way the buccal fat reduction in the face/cheeks does to people. There is nothing wrong with having surgery, and you have always been and still are beautiful, so why lie about it?
Trachtenberg responded in an Instagram post in January 2024.
“Interesting fact. She posted a selfie with the remark, “This is my face.”
“No issues—not malnourished. Why must you be hateful? Purchase a calendar,” she wrote.
In an interview with “Entertainment Tonight” in 2021, Trachtenberg talked candidly about her career and her pivotal part in “Harriet the Spy” in 1996.
“On the first day of principal photography for ‘Harriet the Spy,’ I turned ten.” Regarding her co-star at the time, she stated, “Rosie [O’Donnell] was my biggest supporter.”
“I had a lot expected of me. I am really appreciative of the experience.
“It’s difficult, but when I do look at social media, [I see] them coming in with, ‘You inspired my life,'” she continued. I became a writer because of you. All of those are simply lovely stuff.
She would subsequently go on to star in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” from 2000 to 2003, and she would later lament not bringing any props with her.
Actually, Sarah [Michelle Gellar] and I were texting each other the other day. And I thought, “Oh, man.” She said to the outlet, “I should have taken a whole bunch of stuff.” “You don’t leave your house,” she said.
Trachtenberg added that she loved playing Georgina Sparks on “Gossip Girl” because she was “such an evil B-I-T-C-H.”
She joked: “It was enjoyable.
