Daily Drama News: Sarah Michelle Gellar’s Tribute To Michelle Trachtenberg

The actress uploaded several images of her and Trachtenberg to Instagram and, echoing a much-loved, oft-quoted bit of Buffy the Vampire Slayer dialogue, captioned the carousel: “Michelle, listen to me. Listen. I love you. I will always love you. The hardest thing in this world is to live in it. I will be brave. I will live… for you.”

Thirty-nine-year-old Trachtenberg was found deceased in her New York City apartment near Columbus Circle. Per ABC News, the police are not treating the death as suspicious with one source noting Trachtenberg had recently underwent a liver transplant and may have experienced complications.

An alum of All My Children, Trachtenberg is probably best known for her roles in Buffy and Gossip Girl (and its 2022 reboot), and for playing the title character in Harriet the Spy opposite talk-show maven Rosie O’Donnell.

As for what his alter-ego might be up to, Roché mused: “He’s probably in the Caribbean in some beautiful villa. A bit like [James] Bond. Or somewhere in the South Pacific.
