That's sad news, 39 is very young. I hope she rests in peace

What awful news. She was a great actress.

she recently had a liver transplant, so must have been really unwell.

Preciousssssss · 26/02/2025 18:12

That’s sad news.

It’s strange, I’ve never thought of her since Buffy, though I read that she had many acting credits. But she was perfect as Dawn.

RIP.

That's so sad. Loved her in Buffy, and GG. RIP.

biscuitsandbooks · 26/02/2025 18:15

I still remember her from Harriet the Spy.

How awful, may she RIP. She was so young 😓

Kiwi83 · 26/02/2025 18:20

That's really sad news, I loved her in Buffy.

Sonolanona · 26/02/2025 18:20

I'm rewatching Buffy at the mo. She started off so annoying and whiny and they developed her character so well over the series. RIP.

Aww no she was a great actress I loved harriet the spy

atthepinkponyclub · 26/02/2025 18:25

I was really sad to read this. I loved the film Ice Princess when I was younger.

PrettyFlyforaMaiTai · 26/02/2025 18:26

She was a brilliant actress, I really loathed her character in Gossip Girl but couldn’t wait for her to be back on screen.

Preciousssssss · 26/02/2025 18:26

I last rewatched all of Buffy in December 2019. But it’s always worthy of another go.

UrsulasHerbBag · 26/02/2025 18:29

Very very sad news.

ZoeCM · 26/02/2025 18:36

So sad. Another child actor destroyed by the industry. May Michelle rest in peace.

Needmorelego · 26/02/2025 18:39

@ZoeCM we don't know that. There's not been any indication of how or why she has passed away.

PleaseStopEatingMyStuff · 26/02/2025 18:40

So sad. Loved her in Buffy.

35965a · 26/02/2025 18:40

So sad, loved her in Gossip Girl back in the day! She looked unwell for a long time. I feel for her family.

BritishShorthair23 · 26/02/2025 18:46

So sad. We are similar ages and she is one of the actors of my childhood- Harriet the spy and also good as Dawn in Buffy. So young.

CaveMum · 26/02/2025 18:46

Such sad news. I’ve recently been doing a rewatch and currently halfway through S6, so peak Dawn.

Poor woman looked very ill in recent photos. Far too young to die, RIP.

That’s a really weird thing to say in the face of no evidence. She had been in poor health and recently had an organ transplant.

Where has that been reported?

Purpleavocado · 26/02/2025 18:53

So sad, I was shocked to see this. I think the implication is that the liver transplant was due to alcohol, but that could just be the way the media are spinning it.
