What is going on with Michelle Trachtenberg?

She looks like shit.

Too thin, for one. What has she been in lately?

In all fairness, she's a 90's teen princess with no career...Oxy is a popular way to deal with loss.

Help me.

I wouldn't have even recognized her

I don't know her

[quote]What has she been in lately?

Gossip Girl reboot. They brought back Georgina Sparks.

I agree, she's unrecognizable but I can't put my finger on what she's done.

Michelle was an idol of mine as a young prepubescent gay kid. I was ob-fucking-sessed with "Harriet the Spy", and also loved her on "The Adventures of Pete & Pete". I never got into "Buffy", but I know she had a following for that.

It is kind of sad the way her career has gone. I remember "EuroTrip" being the first major adult role that people took notice of with her; she also played Joseph Gordon-Levitt's best friend in Gregg Araki's "Mysterious Skin", which I thought she was good in. She was on a decent run in the late 2000s with "Gossip Girl" on TV and also had some major movies roles (the "Black Christmas" remake, which she was one of the best things about it, and "17 Again"), but for some reason it seems things hit the skids after that.

She was super annoying on Buffy

DL fave Kristin Chenoweth is cheerleading Michelle on Instagram in the comments with hard-hitters such as: "You're stunning" and "Ignore the hate baby!"

They probably have the same dealer.

She looks like she's balding in this photo

I've never read a positive comment about her behavior on set. Can't say I'm surprised she's had a shit career.

Her only film performance that interested me was on "Ice Princess" and it was just to see her figure skating scenes while Madonna's "Ray of Light" was being played.

Back in the day, that is.

She looks older than 38

She looks like she has cancer.

Lol@the bald photo.

She was adorable in Mysterious Skin

It’s the yellowing in the whites of her eyes that is most concerning.

R19 drug/alcohol-induced jaundice? I don't know what else it could be.

That's definite balding and her hair is thin and brittle as well. I look better than her at 55 with a few months of heavy drinking after my dog died under my belt.

Michelle looks like she's dealing with some health issues. Unclear what they may be.

How did 21 of you have an opinion on this?

Mulva, you're clearly not seeing that pic the way we do because we've already seen people (or ourselves) look that sick.

She's doing that child star mentally ill attention seeking.

Like the worst thing Amanda Bines used to yell at people was you're ugly! They think only beautiful people can be loved or something.

I still remember her in Harriet the Spy

I hope the same fate doesn't await Zach Effron

R9 Kristin Chenoweth has a six head and looks and sounds like she has a stinky pussy. I'll never forget when she did a documentary about three girl scouts in Oklahoma who were brutally murdered forty years ago.

She wasn't friends with the victims, didn't even know them and wasn't even there the night it happened. And yet that and being in the same troop with them was enough to make her act like an expert on the subject and be allowed to make a documentary that focused more on her than them.

I fucking hate narcissists.

R27 she was struck by lightning

What a fat whore!!!!

She was the worst thing about the Buffy series. She was DREADFUL.

Well something is certainly going on. She looks terrible.

I don't hate here at all. She was great in Harriet the Spy. Besides that and Buffy, I don't know what else she's really been in.

She just doesn't look well.

Get up, Harriet - we love you.

Oh leave Kristin Chenoweth alone. She doesn't bother anybody.

Drugs seem likely if I’m judging based on this alone—really though, what the fuck?

Sad!!

She looks like Frances Fisher there.

Did she have plastic surgery, too?

Well, this is the payback for playing Harriet M Welshman. Never should have been a movie.

Still waiting to see the karma show up at Rosie’s door for playing Ole Golly. I mean, COME ON.

She gained quite a lot of weight about 10 years ago

Has she had the dreaded buccal fat removal? Her cheeks have the same sort of sunken look that comes with it. I always thought she was naturally very beautiful. She looks dour and unhappy in most of the more recent photos you see of her.

Reddit went nuts over this. Some people were saying she now looks like Joan Collins.

Who?

I always get Michelle Trachtenberg confused with that other sea cow from the Traveling Pants movies - Amber Tamblyn?

Eyes looking very yellow in this pic:

She looks decades older (except not wrinkled) and very frail.

She looks...fragile.

If she's that sick, unwell and unhappy, I don't understand the constant posting of selfies. She looks terrible, why advertise it?

R44 her lips also look like they’re about to fall off her face, they’re so dry. Weird.

[quote]She looks terrible

Not to her, r47...

I don’t know who that is.

Looks like adderall-induced anorexia to me. She is way too young to look so brittle

Michelle is of Russian-Jewish descent; as someone with a similar ethnic background (also half), I can say that Russians often tend to age hard—I saw it firsthand among my grandmother, great aunts and uncles, and great-parents. That being said, Michelle is not even 40. Whatever is going on with her does not look like typical aging. It looks chemically-induced.

Her recent photos kind of remind me of Rose McGowan. Personally, I don't think she looks very sick, just thin with some janky facework. Obesity is so normalized that Americans think every skinny person is a dying junkie.

Was in love with this song and this psycho in high school

What are yellow eyeballs a sign of? Liver problems (secret alkie)?

Buffy kind of sucked tbh. Spike was the only good thing.

Sarah Michelle Gellar's baby voice was annoying.

She has died, sadly.

Damn, she was a good child actress.

Didn’t like her on Buffy, but that was mostly the character.

RIP

Unfortunately, I saw it coming a mile away.

She's fine.

She sends her love.

[quote]She has died, sadly.

Well then, nothing at all is going on with her. Thanks for asking OP.

Seems odd to me that she would have been eligible for, and been able to obtain, a transplant liver if she was actively using substances so recently.

She would have to be off alcohol and drugs to qualify for a liver transplant.

Confirmation, including that she died of liver failure. Are you cunts CERTAIN that she had a massive booze problem of some sort? Or maybe Vicodin? Dying of liver failure before 40 is otherwise VERY unusual.

Btw Vicodin is a much more likely culprit. Acetaminophen alone can nearly destroy your liver, and the only one I personally know who died of it had a decade-long addiction she managed to keep hidden till near the end. She was already too far gone when she finally sought help, and died at the ripe old age of 33, leaving behind a six-year-old daughter.

I had a vicodin addiction, but at least I knew that you can easily extract the acetaminophen (we call it paracetamol around here) with cold water. First the hydrocodone is freely soluble in water, so you need very little of it, and actually too little for the acetaminophen to dissolve entirely. Then, on top of that, the acetaminophen crashes out as you lower the temperature of the water to almost zero. And then all you have left, after you've filtered out most of the APAP in the solution are the goodies and the gentle warmness that comes with it. Mmm.

I'm still glad I don't do this shit anymore.
