Michelle Trachtenberg portrays Dawn, Buffy's mystery-laden
younger sister. Coming into her own as a fledgling
member of the Scooby Gang, she overcame her personal
demons and grew closer to her sister, who is finally
beginning to include Dawn in her world. Trachtenberg
is anything but an ordinary 16-year-old. She is
perhaps best known for her starring role in "Harriet
the Spy," opposite Rosie O'Donnell, when she was
only 10-years-old. The role earned her the "Best
Lead Actress in a Feature Film" award from Young
Artists of Hollywood. A native New Yorker, Trachtenberg
began her acting career at the age of three when
she appeared in her first television commercial.
Since then, she has appeared in more than 100 national
spots and has had starring roles both in film and
on television. In 1999, Trachtenberg starred opposite
Matthew Broderick in the live-action feature film
"Inspector Gadget." Her other feature credits include
roles in the independent films "Can't Be Heaven,"
"The Cage" and "Melissa."
Daytime
television fans will remember Trachtenberg from
her role as the autistic Lily Montgomery on "All
My Children," at which time the drama also starred
Sarah Michelle Gellar. She was also a series regular
on the Nickelodeon series "The Adventures of Pete
& Pete," as well as the CBS comedy "Meego." Trachtenberg's
other television credits include guest-starring
roles on "Guys Like Us," "Figure It Out," "Dave's
World," "Law & Order," "Saturday Night Live," "Clarissa
Explains It All" and "Space Cases," as well as the
television movies "A Father's Choice" opposite Peter
Strauss and Mary McDonnell, and "Christmas in Our
Home Town," with Melissa Gilbert. For the past five
years, Trachtenberg has been an active spokesperson
for R.A.D.D., DARE America, The Starlight Foundation
and many others. Her contributions to the fight
against drugs earned her the prestigious responsibility
of representing the youth of America at CNN's headquarters
in Atlanta, where she helped President Clinton launch
"The Coalition for a Drug Free America" campaign.
In her spare time, Trachtenberg enjoys yoga, swimming,
bicycling, ice-skating, crafts, writing short stories
and spending time with her family and friends and
her two cats. |
