Michelle Trachtenberg

Highest Rated: 86% Mysterious Skin (2004)

Lowest Rated: 14% Black Christmas (2006)

Birthday: Oct 11, 1985

Birthplace: New York, New York, USA

Unlike many of her peers, Michelle Trachtenberg did not have to become a tabloid headliner or paparazzi favorite to secure her status as one of Hollywood's most sought after actresses. She simply rose from cute child star to serious performer in just a few short years, giving nice girls everywhere someone to model their careers after. She also had lots of fun along the way, playing diverse characters - from a young sleuth in the kiddie feature film "Harriet the Spy" (1996), to a butt-kicking teen in the iconic "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (WB, 1997-2001; UPN, 2001-03) series, to a controversial socialite on the catty "Gossip Girl" (CW, 2007-13).
