OT: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Actress, Michelle Trachtenberg Passes at Age 39.

It always sucks when someone in the prime of their life passes away. Michelle Trachtenberg who played Dawn on the Buffy The Vampire Slayer TV series passed away at the age of 39. While she was in many films and TV shows, for me I would say she was best known for her role in the Buffy TV series.

I read that her mom found her. So heatbreaking. I hope she and Michelle's other loved ones have the support they need.

Bad week, first Roberta Flack, then Michelle, and now Gene Hackman, his wife and dog found dead at their home. All three touched my heart, soul, and spirit in different ways.

My best wishes to all of their families and friends.

Oh no, little Dawnie ...

Dawnie is a tough one. She was so young.

It's very strange that we don't know the cause of her death.

Rest in peace, Michelle. May the Lord God comfort your family, friends, loved ones, and everyone negatively effected by this horrible news.

That one really was unexpected and hit me surprisingly hard. Really sad news.

Best wishes to her family and loved ones.

She'd reportedly recently had a liver transplant, so quite possibly related to that.
