Michelle Trachtenberg, known for her role in 'Gossip Girl', was found dead at 39 in her Manhattan apartment. She was scheduled to appear at the South by Southwest Festival for her last film, 'Spyral', which highlights mental health issues. Despite ongoing health concerns, producer Jennifer Hutchins noted Trachtenberg's commitment to the film, where she voiced the diaries of a woman who suffered from undiagnosed bipolar depression. Hutchins praised Trachtenberg's emotional investment and advocacy for mental health awareness, recalling her deep connection to the story.
"There was no public announcement planned as we knew it would be a last minute decision if she was up for it."
"When you watch this movie, you can hear the real trembling in Michelle's voice as she was reading excerpts from Michelle Cody White's diaries and journals."
