Sarah Michelle Gellar is grateful for her 30-year friendship with Michelle Trachtenberg as she paid tribute to the actress one year after her tragic death.
Gellar posted a series of photos Thursday with her late “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” co-star, reflecting on how “lucky” she is to have had as much time with her as she did.
“From our first day on set together, to less than a year later, when you were already taller than me,” Gellar wrote. “But I first worked with [you] on ‘All My Children.’ I watched you become a star with ‘Harriet.’”
Gellar, 48, added that when she thinks of Trachtenberg, she remembers “that smile that took up your entire face and brought so much joy to others is what comes to mind.”
She explained that Trachtenberg was great with her and husband Freddie Prinze Jr.’s two children — Charlotte and Rocky — and attended countless birthday parties, “though I’m sure you had somewhere cooler to be.”
“You may not have been with us long enough,” concluded the “Ready or Not 2” star, “but we will make sure everyone remembers.”
Gellar included images of Trachtenberg in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” the 1996 movie “Harriet the Spy” and the soap opera “All My Children.”
