I literally just finished Buffy the Vampire slayer yesterday and I heard Michelle passed away. She played Dawn Summers, Buffy's younger sister who was introduced in Season 5 of the show. She also starred in Harriet The Spy and I remember seeing her in that film as well. She was only 39 years old, and the youngest of the Buffy cast. She passed away due to complications from a liver transplant. RIP Michelle she was a great actress.
 
My favorite role of hers was Penny in Inspector Gadget!
 
Apparently, she had a liver transplant prior to her death, and that early last year there were concerns about her health from folk on social media in response to sudden weight loss and apparent signs of jaundice, but back then she insisted that she was "happy and healthy". Although, like every other death that's happened, we shouldn't speculate until there's an autopsy report.

Anyway, what a pretty girl... rest in peace 🙁
 
She was a celebrity kid actor and that's how most of us know what films she was in. 39 years old is nothing, age, shame.
 
I still remember reading the headline in disbelief when it happened that day. She's barely even 40. Died on the same day as Gene Hackman too. What a cursed day.

RIP, Dawn.
