Michelle Trachtenberg was a versatile actress who transitioned seamlessly from child star to a performer with a varied filmography spanning family-friendly roles, teen dramas, and dark comedies. 

She captivated audiences with her ability to embody a range of characters, from innocent and ambitious heroines to manipulative and cunning figures. Here are five of her most memorable movies and TV shows:

Trachtenberg’s breakthrough role came in Harriet the Spy, where she played the titular character, an inquisitive and determined 11-year-old aspiring writer.

 Based on the beloved children’s book by Louise Fitzhugh, the film followed Harriet as she secretly observed the world around her, documenting everything in her notebook—only for her observations to backfire when they were discovered. This Nickelodeon-produced movie introduced Trachtenberg to a wider audience. 

2. Buffy the Vampire Slayer (2000–2003)

In Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Trachtenberg took on one of her most debated roles as Dawn Summers, Buffy’s younger sister. Introduced in the show’s fifth season, Dawn’s sudden appearance in Buffy’s life was a major plot twist, later revealed to be a mystical “Key” transformed into human form to be protected by the Slayer. 

Though her character initially faced criticism from fans for being whiny, Trachtenberg brought depth to Dawn as the series progressed. 

3. EuroTrip (2004)

Switching gears from her family-friendly roles, Trachtenberg starred in the raunchy comedy EuroTrip as Jenny, a teenager traveling across Europe with her twin brother and friends.

The film became a cult favorite, known for its outrageous humor and over-the-top misadventures. EuroTrip allowed Trachtenberg to break free from her kid-sister image.

4. Ice Princess (2005)

In Ice Princess, Trachtenberg played Casey Carlyle, a physics prodigy who dreams of becoming a competitive figure skater. The Disney movie blended science and sports in a coming-of-age story about following one’s passion. Trachtenberg trained rigorously for the role, learning figure skating skills to make her performance more authentic. 

5. Gossip Girl (2008–2012, 2021)

One of Trachtenberg’s most iconic roles came as Georgina Sparks in Gossip Girl. As a recurring antagonist, Georgina was manipulative, cunning, and always stirring up drama in the Upper East Side. 

Unlike her previous characters, Georgina had no redeeming qualities—yet Trachtenberg made her deliciously entertaining to watch. Her portrayal of Georgina was a fan-favorite, adding an extra layer of unpredictability to the show. In 2021, she reprised her role in the Gossip Girl reboot, proving that Georgina’s chaotic presence was timeless.
