Michelle Trachtenberg has died at age 39. She was in Buffy, Eurotrip and other things.


looks like it may have been related to a recent liver transplant but no details yet. Googling reveals there was a lot of speculation about her health a year ago- she was looking quite sickly at that point

Deeply tragic, she'll always be Nona from Pete & Pete for me.

I remember her primarily from the episode of House where she's having like sudden onset autism or whatever because she got bit by a tick between the toes.

Strangely, I used to watch Pete & Pete daily. Probably because when I see a child actor, they're kind of in a stasis for me, I always expect them to be kids.

When I posted her in the beautiful faces thread a while back I remember reading about the speculation. I guess she was understandably keeping her health issues non-public. Sad.

In another blow to our TV culture, Roberto Orci died as well

While his Star Trek stuff may not have been my cuppa, a LOT of his other work was. Fucking LEGEND for genre TV/film.

Orci began his career as a writer on Xena: Warrior Princess and Hercules: The Legendary Journeys in the late 1990s.

He went on to co-write and produce the 2009 Star Trek movie reboot, 2013's Star Trek Into Darkness and 2016's Star Trek Beyond. He also wrote 2007's Transformers and 2009's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, 2006's Mission: Impossible III, 2011's Cowboys and Aliens and 2014's The Amazing Spider Man 2.

For television, Orci helped develop over 200 episodes of Hawaii Five-0 and was also heavily involved with Sleepy Hollow, Matador, Transformers Prime, Fringe and Alias.

Orci served as producer and executive producer on many of the above projects, as well as 2017's The Mummy, 2013's Now You See Me and its sequels, 2013's Ender's Game, 2009's The Proposal and the TV series Scorpion.
