Michelle Trachtenberg Dead at 39: Rosie O’Donnell, Kim Cattrall & More Pay Tribute
Blake Lively is sending XO to her late Gossip Girl costar Michelle Trachtenberg.
Hours after Trachtenberg was found dead at 39 in her New York City apartment, Lively recalled the first day she met the actress, who played Georgina Sparks opposite her Serena van der Woodsen, on the set of the CW show over 15 years ago.
“She was electricity,” Lively wrote on Instagram Story Feb. 26. “You knew when she entered a room because the vibration changed. Everything she did, she did 200%.”
The 37-year-old continued, “She laughed the fullest at someone’s joked, she faced authority head on when she felt something was wrong, she cared deeply about her work, she was proud to be a part of this community and industry as painful as it could be sometimes, she was fiercely loyal to her friends and brave for those she loved, she was big and bold and distinctly herself.”
But most of all, Lively said she’ll remember how Trachtenberg “always had yummy caramel smelling lipgloss on.”
“Because she didn’t just want to sparkle on camera,” Lively explained, “she liked creating a nice experience for anyone who was in her orbit, even down to the subtle smell of her lipgloss because she cared about the sweet details.”
