00:00Hello everyone, welcome to back my channel. I hope everyone is having a wonderful day.

00:11While we are all still reeling from the passing of Michelle Trachtenberg,
00:15at just 39 years old, Braden James is grappling with the loss as well.
00:20Back in the day, the two of them were child stars together. He was stealing scenes on the
00:26primetime sitcom Family Matters, and she was moving from daytime, where she got her start
00:32on All My Children, into features like Harriet the Spy. He even shared a sweet photo of himself
00:38with his pal as kids, much like the one below. Rest in peace, old friend, the young and restless
00:45Emmy winner wrote in an Insta story. Diven's portrayal is far from the only actor to memorialize
00:52Trachtenberg, whose career took her from Buffy the Vampire Slayer to Gossip Girl.
00:58Sarah Michelle Gellar, another All My Children alum who played Trachtenberg's butt-kicking,
01:04older sister on Buffy, quoted her character's own words from a Pivotal Season 5 episode.
01:10Michelle, listen to me. Listen. I love you. I will always love you.
01:15The hardest thing in this world is to live in it. I will be brave. I will live. For you.
01:22Blake Lively, who worked with Trachtenberg on Gossip Girl, described her on social media,
01:28as being someone who laughed the fullest at someone's joke. She faced authority head-on
01:33when she felt something was wrong. She cared deeply about her work. She was proud to be a
01:39part of this community and industry, as painful as it could be sometimes. She was fiercely loyal
01:45to her friends and brave for those she loved. She was big and bold, and distinctly herself.
