90's Celebrities: Past and Present

Michelle Trachtenberg

Born in 1985, Michelle Trachtenberg made her debut with a small role in Clarissa Explains It All. Shortly after, she landed the part of Nona Mecklenberg in The Adventures of Pete & Pete, which aired in 1996 and propelled her to fame at the young age of nine. Following that, she portrayed the lead character in Harriet the Spy.

Initially, most of Trachtenberg's roles were on Nickelodeon, but she later transitioned to adult showbiz with notable roles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Gossip Girl. While she had high-profile relationships, none of them lasted, and it appears she has taken a break from acting, as her last on-screen appearance was in 2018.
