Michelle Trachtenberg was on the verge of a major career comeback before tragic death at 39
Michelle Trachtenberg was working on a new project before her tragic death at age 39. The Gossip Girl alum was shopping a screenplay she wrote to studios with director and producer Casey Tebo.
It is based on the book of the same name and tells the story of Jack Ryan, who left his job designing missiles for the Pentagon during the Cold War era to become chief engineer at Mattel. Jennifer Hutchins, a Spyral producer, told TMZ that the movie team was aware of Michelle's health issues and only expected her to attend the event — whether in-person or virtually — if she felt well enough. The Brooklyn native also had a recurring role as 'The Witch of the Upper East Side' Georgina Sparks in 28 episodes of The CW teen soap Gossip Girl spanning 2008-2012.
