Actress Blake Lively posted a lengthy tribute to Michelle Trachtenberg on her Instagram story on February 26.
The New York Post first reported on February 26 that Trachtenberg had died at 39. Multiple other outlets have since confirmed the news.
Lively starred as Serena van der Woodsen in “Gossip Girl,” while Trachtenberg played her former friend turned enemy Georgina Sparks. Trachtenberg made numerous appearances during the show’s 2007-2012 run.
In her Instagram post, Lively posted a photo of the two during a scene in “Gossip Girl.”
“This is the first day I met Michelle. She was electricity. You knew when she entered a room because the vibration changed. Everything she did, she did 200%. She laughed the fullest at someone’s joke, 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. And she always had yummy caramel smelling lipgloss on because she didn’t just want to sparkle on camera, 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,” Lively wrote.“She was a kind person, through and through.”“Time passes. You take for granted that you get the chance to see an old friend. To paraphrase, the real tragedies in life are the ones that blindside you on an idle Tuesday,” she continued.
“Hold those you love and have loved dear. The world lost a deeply sensitive and good person in Michelle. May her work and her huge heart be remembered by those who were lucky enough to experience her fire.”

In 2021, MAX rebooted “Gossip Girl” which centered around teachers creating an anonymous Instagram account to try and regain control of a group of teenagers at a New York private school. The show was renewed for a second season, and that’s when Trachtenberg returned to reprise her role as Georgina Sparks.
However, after just two seasons, the show was ultimately canceled.
