Trachtenberg, who was known for “Gossip Girl,” " Buffy the
Vampire Slayer " and “Harriet the Spy,” was found unconscious
and unresponsive in her luxury apartment tower in Manhattan in
February.
Officials at the time said no foul play was suspected, and the
medical examiner's office had listed her death as
“undetermined.”
Trachtenberg’s family had objected to an autopsy, which the
medical examiner's office honored because there was no evidence
of criminality.
Her representative didn't immediately respond to an email
seeking comment Wednesday.
Sarah Michelle Gellar, Taylor Momsen and Blake Lively were among
the celebrities who mourned Trachtenberg when her Feb. 26 death
was announced.
Trachtenberg was 8 when she began playing Nona Mecklenberg on
Nickelodeon’s “The Adventures of Pete & Pete” from 1994 to 1996
and then starred in the title role in the film adaptations of
“Harriet the Spy” and “Inspector Gadget,” opposite Matthew
Broderick.
In 2000 Trachtenberg joined the cast of “Buffy,” playing Dawn
Summers, the younger sister of the title character played by
Gellar between 2000 and 2003.
Trachtenberg went on to recurring roles on “Six Feet Under,”
“Weeds” and “Gossip Girl,” where she played the gang’s scheming
nemesis, Georgina Sparks. She was one of the original series'
stars to return for a pair of guest appearances in the 2021
“Gossip Girl” revival.
Trachtenberg's later credits included the 2004 teen sex comedy
“EuroTrip" and 2009's “17 Again” with Zac Efron and Leslie Mann.
