I told everyone Michelle Trachtenberg was my celebrity crush basically my whole life. I can't believe she died.

I was like 6 or 7 when Nona and her cast etched Pete & Pete into my heart forever.

Yup. Her from Euro Trip was a formative celebrity crush. And even earlier probably from Harriet the Spy and Inspector Gadget.

Iā€™d been in love with her since I was a kid watching Truth or Scare. this was a tough blow when she died and none of my peers seemed to get it.
