Lively reflected on Trachtenberg's "electricity" and kindness following the actor's death.
Blake Lively on Wednesday shared a lengthy tribute to her “Gossip Girl” costar Michelle Trachtenberg, who was found dead in her New York City apartment on Wednesday morning.
Trachtenberg, also known for her roles in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Harriet the Spy,” had reportedly undergone a recent liver transplant and may have experienced complications as a result. She was 39.
Criminality is “not suspected” in the actor’s death and an investigation “remains ongoing,” police told HuffPost.
Lively, who starred as Serena van der Woodsen on the hit teen drama, shared an image of the first day she met Trachtenberg, who played Georgina Sparks in The CW original series and later reprised the role in its recent rendition on Max.
“She was electricity. You knew when she entered a room because the vibration changed. Everything she did, she did 200%,” wrote Lively on her Instagram Stories alongside the snap from Season One’s “Desperately Seeking Serena” when Georgina returns to New York City.
