How do we say goodbye to someone like Michelle Trachtenberg? Someone who meant so much to so many people?
Well, we definitely have to take a moment to really look at what amazing work she did through the years. As many posted on social media after the shocking news of her death, most of her fans grew up with her! She went from teeny tiny child star on Nickelodeon to bad bitch on Gossip Girl… at the same time as so many of us watching her were discovering our own inner bad bitch!

To celebrate Michelle’s life and craft, we gathered the smallest sampling of her most iconic scenes. This is just scratching the surface of her work, but…
Harriet The Spy
There are certainly more victorious scenes in 1996’s Harriet The Spy, but the one that really showcases what a huge talent Michelle possessed? Gotta go with the traumatizing blue paint scene!
Buffy The Vampire Slayer
There are some emotional powerhouse scenes Michelle plays as Dawn on Buffy The Vampire Slayer. But this one, where she first reacts to learning she isn’t *real*?? Man, not many actors of any age could have been this good, and she was just 15!
Oh, and Buffy fans just knew we had to throw in one extra scene from the musical episode! Dawn gets interrupt trying to do her own solo song in Once More With Feeling, but she instead she gets to slay with this killer dance number!
Disney’s Ice Princess
Ice Princess fans know. We mean, come on. Three words. Reaching. For. Heaven.
Gossip Girl
Y’all already know this moment. When Georgina Sparks SHOCKS by becoming a born-again Christian for a hot minute…
Then sheds that phase like a snakeskin with one of the most unforgettable lines in the entire series:
“You can tell Jesus that the bitch is back.”
Effing iconic!
