What's Next?

From Teen People - November 2001

What came next for last year's What's Next stars? TeenPeople.com catches up with the class of 2001.

Michelle Trachtenberg: When we profiled Michelle Trachtenberg last year, the veteran of kid films Harriet The Spy and Inspector Gadget was starting a more grown-up role on the hit TV show Buffy the Vampire Slayer (albeit as Buffy's little sister). One year and one network change later, Michelle has become an integral part of the Buffy cast; not only is Dawn the "key to the universe," but Buffy "died" in last year's season finale trying to save her sister's life. Multitalented Michelle even showed off her singing chops in Buffy's much-hyped musical special.
