As a teenager, she became widely recognized for portraying Dawn Summers, the younger sister of the titular heroine in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and later captivated audiences as the cunning and manipulative Georgina Sparks on Gossip Girl, a role she played throughout the show’s six-season run.
Buffy The Vampire Slayer actor David Boreanaz, who played Angel on the series, said he was “so very sad” as he paid tribute to co-star Michelle.
The insider claimed Sarah wanted to bring Michelle back for the show and added the cast and Michelle's friends were aware of her recent health issues.
