Michelle Trachtenberg, best known for her role as Dawn, Buffy’s younger sister, in the dark, comedic series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and as the scheming socialite on Gossip Girl, has passed away at the age of 39, according to the New York Police Department.

The department stated that officers responded to a 911 call shortly after 8 a.m. Wednesday and found Trachtenberg unresponsive and unconscious in a Manhattan apartment.

Trachtenberg's career began in her childhood, and she built a long list of notable credits in film and television that won the hearts of fans across generations.

In 1996, she played Harriet Welsch, an inquisitive 11-year-old who closely observes her neighbors and classmates in the movie Harriet the Spy, based on Louise Fitzhugh’s beloved 1964 children's book. The film also starred Rosie O'Donnell as Harriet’s nanny, Ole Golly.

Additionally, Trachtenberg played the lead role of Casey Carlyle, a determined figure skater, in the 2005 film Ice Princess. Her other notable projects included the 2004 teen comedy Eurotrip and the 2009 film 17 Again, in which she starred alongside Zac Efron and Matthew Perry.
