   Michelle Trachtenberg posts adorable tribute to Harriet the Spy for 20th   
   anniversary   
      
   Posted July 11   
      
   In honor of the 20th anniversary of Harriet the Spy, Michelle Trachtenberg   
   shared a heartfelt note about the role that served as her film debut.   
      
   “I was 10 years old, this was my first movie, and my dream come true,”   
   Trachtenberg wrote. “I will always be honored to have been the girl who   
   brought Harriet to life.”   
      
   Based on the 1964 children’s book of the same name, Harriet the Spy was a   
   Nickelodeon film following the adventures of a resourceful, pint-sized   
   detective named Harriet. The starring role launched Trachtenberg into an   
   impressive film and television acting career, including notable roles on   
   Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Gossip Girl, as well as the feature 17 Again.   
      
   “I have always only ever wanted to be Harriet,” Trachtenberg shared in an   
   oral history of the film with Uproxx. “I had read the book. It was still, at   
   the time, on school curriculums. It was always a favorite of mine. It was   
   rare to read a book with such a strong passionate heroine who was my age.”   
      
   Check out Trachtenberg’s note below.   
      
   "Twenty years ago today, July 10th 1996, Harriet The Spy opened in theaters.   
   I was 10 years old, this was my first movie, and my dream come true. I will   
   always be honored to have been the girl who brought #harriet to life. The   
   time has come the walrus said…. #hts “I want to see the whole world, and I   
   want to write down everything!” ~ Harriet"

   How Harriet the Spy still inspires Michelle Trachtenberg, 20 years later.   
      
   Posted November 14 2016   
      
   It’s been 20 years since Michelle Trachtenberg made her big-screen debut   
   starring in Harriet the Spy, Nickelodeon’s first-ever film. Since then, the   
   31-year-old star has gone on to earn 55 acting credits, including roles in   
   Buffy the Vampire Slayer, EuroTrip, Gossip Girl, and more, but it’s her turn   
   as the writer and elementary school spy, Harriet M. Welsch, that’s left a   
   lasting impression.   
      
   “I’m fully WGA [Writers Guild of America] and a writer and have sold   
   several   
   projects. I feel like [I’m living] a Hollywood version of Harriet’s   
   life,”   
   Trachtenberg says.   
      
   Though she can’t disclose much about her upcoming projects quite yet,   
   Trachtenberg, who sold her first project at 23 (it was about a serial   
   killer — “I’m so weird,” she says), hints that she’s currently   
   putting   
   together “a period piece that spans about a 30-year decade, starting in the   
   ’50s. It’s a true story.”   
      
   There’s also the pilot that she wrote about an “accessories editor who   
   always wanted to be a writer.” The Brooklyn native is convinced that her   
   notebook-obsessed alter ego would approve: “Harriet would be proud.”
