Michelle Trachtenberg is no stranger to show business. She's been working in the entertainment industry since she was 3 years old, back in the late 1980s. She's done TV and movies since then and hasn't stopped. She hangs with the big names, models for the big magazines and is involved in good causes. Is it any wonder she catches attention? With those big beautiful, striking blue eyes and that exquisitely gorgeous and adorable countenance, she has worked her way from television commercials to television shows and movies. Who is Michelle Trachtenberg? Her father is German and her mother is Russian. Michelle speaks fluent Russian (more on that later, too). She is Jewish and both her grandparents live in Israel. When she was 3 years old she began to appear in television commercials. And,so, started her long career in show business. Michelle ended up doing over 100 commercials as a child. Then, in 1993 she got a permanent role in a television show called The Adventures of Pete and Pete. But it was in 2000 that she landed the role that received the most attention, as the sister of Buffy in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Sarah Michelle Gellar, star of the show, had been friends with Trachtenberg since the days they had both played in the popular, long-running American soap opera All My Children in the mid-1990s. In 2005, Michelle starred in the drama Ice Princess in which she played a young science genius that was caught between the choices of continuing her education or following her dream to be a figure skater. Other movies she starred in included Euro Trip, 17 Again and Black Christmas, a remake of an old horror classic. In 2010, she starred in a movie with Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan called Cop Out. She went back and forth between movies and TV, even guesting on House, one of her favorite shows, after she convinced her friend, a producer of the show, to let her appear in an episode. She had a recurring role in the HBO production, Six Feet Under.

She's also played business competitor and rival to the lead character in the TV show Weeds. In addition to all of this, she's tried her hand at parts in music videos. More recently she has had a recurring role as the villainous Georgina Sparks in Gossip Girl, playing along-side the equally gorgeous Blake Lively. She just finished filming a movie called Scribbler and has also played a stalker on Criminal Minds, harassing a lead character's girlfriend. She had formerly played in the medical drama, Mercy. She was a kidnapped Vlogger, modeled after LonelyGirl15, on an episode of Law and Order. When the documentary Bully in New York City was made, Michelle supported it and took the opportunity to speak out against bullying. Having been a victim of bullying as a child, she knew full well the detrimental effects it has on a person. What is your favorite Michelle Trachtenberg role?

All My Children, The Adventures of Pete and Pete, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Gossip Girl, Mercy Harriet the Spy, Ice Princess, Black Christmas, 17 Again, Inspector Gadget, Killing Kennedy, Scribbler Speaks out against bullying. Michelle recently got to use the Russian which she speaks fluently in a new docudrama for the National Geographic channel about the Kennedy assassination called, Killing Kennedy, based on the book by the same name, by Bill O-Reilly. She plays alleged assassin Lee Harvy Oswald's Russian-born wife, Marina Oswald. She said she was very excited about the role, being able to use her Russian in the movie and she found the whole subject matter fascinating. The fact that the real Marina is still alive made Michelle very much compelled to nail the part. Marina, by the way, still claims her deceased husband is innocent. He never stood trial, himself being assassinated by night-club owner Jack Ruby before he could stand trial. Michelle Trachtenberg is an accomplished actress with a range of experience in television and movies, in action and comedy and drama.
