The moment I knew I was going to get along very well with Michelle Trachtenberg, she was in an ice-cube battle with Jonathan Lipnicki.
She was being nice to him. Jonathan was five years younger than her, but she didn't treat him like an annoyance.
Michelle Trachtenberg seemed to me the epitome of the Cool Older Girl: beautiful, stylish, funny, from New York - so much cooler than my hometown.
To my surprise and delight, she wanted to keep talking to me. Not only was she nice, I realized, but she was remarkably intelligent.
