Michelle Trachtenberg, acclaimed actress from shows like 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and 'Gossip Girl,' has died at 39, with no suspicion surrounding her death. Recently, troubling images posted on Instagram raised concerns about her health, leading fans to speculate about her weight loss. Trachtenberg had previously assured fans she was 'happy and healthy.' She was involved in notable controversies, including allegations of abuse against 'Buffy' creator Joss Whedon, which he denied. Her career began at nine, eventually moving onto notable adult roles with significant impact on her legacy.
Born in New York City on Oct. 11, 1985, Trachtenberg's first credited role came at the age of nine on the classic 1990s Nickelodeon series "The Adventures of Pete and Pete," on which she portrayed quirky gal-pal Nona F. Mecklenberg.
In 2021, Trachtenberg made bombshell allegations against "Buffy" creator Joss Whedon, claiming he was physically abusive during filming and that there was a "rule" in place prohibiting him from being alone in a room with her on set, she wrote in a cryptic Instagram post at the time.
Last January, Trachtenberg responded to fan concerns saying she was "happy and healthy" and had never had plastic surgery.
Trachtenberg had posted a series of troubling photos in recent months on Instagram, where the award-winning actress has 800,000 followers, in which she appeared gaunt and frail, prompting some fans to comment about her startling weight loss or ask if she was on drugs.
