The world is mourning the loss of Michelle Trachtenberg, an actress known for starring in several projects that many millennials grew up with. The late 39-year-old took on numerous roles throughout her career. In a 2005 Radio Free interview, she shared, “When you’re actor, it’s so easy to just fall into that ‘I’m going to do the exact same movie over and over and over again.’ But that, to me, doesn’t breathe twenty years into yor career from this point. And I just feel like I, as an actress, want to challenge myself. You know, the most hurtful question, I think, is, ‘Oh, what will your fans say to the fact that you’re not doing movies like Harriet the Spy anymore or that you don’t want to reprise Dawn on Buffy?'”

She continued, “Well, I don’t know what they will say, but if they’re truly my fans, if they really like what I do, then they will hopefully see my next projects. And if they don’t, then I understand. But I’m never going to apologize for the choices that I make because I’m very much into the decisions that I make at that moment. And hopefully the result is great.”
