It’s funny how everyone commenting so far seems to have a different movie they remember her from. Despite watching way more Buffy, Harriet the Spy is what I first think of.
Crazy she needed a liver transplant and died so young.
I know her from several things (I didn’t watch Buffy), but Harriet the Spy is also my first thought. I will always think of that movie when I see those damn black and white journals too.
She’ll always be Jenny from Eurotrip to me. 🥺

Uhm, I think you mean Pete and Pete star.
Probably my first celebrity crush growing up.
Definitely my first. I watched Harriet the Spy so many times. RIP
Nona F. Mecklenberg
May her arm finally heal.
The F stands for free range.
IIRC her arm was fine she just liked the way it smelled and itched.
She was looking really thin in recent photos. Sad. May she rest in peace.
Man. I’m tired of getting old.
She’s been on my radar since Pete and Pete. So basically my whole life.
Her horror movie scream was amazing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aw7Gs91pQ4oHow sad for her family. I liked her in party of five (?) and eurotrip.
Worst twins ever…
Damn! Not even 40! So sad.
RIP, Michelle.
The actress recently underwent a liver transplant and may have experienced complications from the surgery
Transplants are serious business. Wouldn’t surprise me if this was either the direct cause or a contributing factor.
She’s been in a lot of iconic roles but to me she’ll always be Nona Mecklenberg
I was always so jealous of her character having Iggy Pop as a dad.
It’s incredibly sad.
To me she’ll always be Dawn Summers from Buffy.
Oh heck, did not expect to see this one. Really unfortunate.
Oh shit! I was looking forward to seeing her back again in the new Buffy - assuming she would do it.
Well damn. Weird way to find out there’s possibly a new Buffy.
Also don’t hope they fuck up the new Buffy
Zero chance they don’t
I literally just looked her up last week and she hadn’t been doing too well in recent years. Of course the Internet being the shithead it is was heckling her for not looking like a pristine perfect celeb. I hope it wasn’t related to suicide. Crushed on her hard back when she was in Buffy and Eurotrip and she always seemed bright and fun.
My heart goes out to all of the people she loved and who loved her. For all that Dawn wasn’t a character I liked, I never, ever doubted Michelle as a great actress. She deserved better for her life.
