“She was big, bold and unmistakable,” writes Lively about Michelle Trachtenberg.
Blake Lively mourns his colleague Michelle Trachtenberg. Trachtenberg, who died surprisingly on February 26, 2025 at the age of 39, played alongside Lively from 2008 to 2012 in the “Gossip Girl” series. In it, Trachtenberg took on the role of villain Georgina Sparks, while Lively Serena van der Woodsen embodied.
In an Instagram story, Lively remembered her first meeting with Trachtenberg: “That was the first day I met Michelle,” wrote Lively for a common souvenir photo. “It was pure energy. You knew when she entered a room because the vibration changed. Everything she did did 200 %. “
Blake Lively remembers Michelle Trachtenberg’s character
Lively remembers Trachtenberg’s personality, her firm beliefs and her sense of humor: “She laughed the loudest about a joke, opposed authorities when she thought something was wrong, and she took care of her work with great dedication. She was proud to be part of this community and this industry – even if it was sometimes painful. [Michelle] was incredibly loyal to her friends and brave for those who loved them. She was big, bold and unmistakable. “
LIVELY was particularly remembered: Trachtenberg’s characteristic caramel -fragrant lip gloss. “She always wore it because she wanted everyone to have a nice experience near her – right down to the subtle scent of her lip gloss. [Michelle] loved the sweet details. “
She was a thoroughly kind person “
“She was a thoroughly kind person,” writes Lively – and ponders: “Time passes. You take it for granted that you get the opportunity to see an old friend again. To express it analogously: the real tragedies in life are those who hit you unexpectedly on an ordinary Tuesday. ”
The actress ended her story with the words: “Hold down the people you love and loved. The world has lost a deeply sensitive and good person with Michelle. May her work and her big heart remember with all those who were lucky enough to experience their energy. ”
