Michelle Trachtenberg Takes Us Back To Being '17 Again'

Actress Michelle Trachtenberg stopped by to talk about her role in 17 Again and in an upcoming episode of Gossip Girl.
In the former, Matthew Perry plays Mike O'Donnell, a man who is pushing forty and whose glory days are way behind him: his marriage has fallen apart; he has been passed over for a promotion at work, and his kids think he's a loser. O'Donnell is miraculously given a second chance to relive his hey days when he is transformed back to his 17-year old self, played by Zac Efron. Trachtenberg plays Maggie, O'Donnell's daughter.
Trachtenberg has starred as Georgina Sparks during the first season of Gossip Girl. Her breakout role came in the form of Dawn Summers in Buffy the Vampire Slayer for the show's final three seasons. She co-stars alongside Topher Grace and Anna Faris in the comedy Young Americans, set for release later this month.
17 Again hits theatres April 17. You can catch Michelle Trachtenberg on Gossip Girl Mondays at 8 pm on the CW.

Hi Suki
Congrats on the new addition to your family. Watch you every morning. I think you are a beautiful woman, but I have to be honest with you, up to the point when you got married, I thought you and Johnny had a thing going. Too funny.
Good luck and see you in the morning.
Respectfully
Debra Morrissette
Hi Suki,
First, I'd like to congratulate you on your wonderful news.
You are an inspiration to me b/c my husband and I are going to try to start a family and I'm at the same age range you are (a year older), and I have been a little worried...maybe the issue of having babies over the age of 35 is a good idea for a story???
Thank you for sharing your wonderful news with all of us and best wishes.
Sincerely,
Lola
