Rosie O'Donnell has opened up about the final years of Michelle Trachtenberg's life, describing her former Harriet the Spy co-star's death as 'a tragedy' and revealing she wishes she had been able to help her more before she died.

The 64-year-old comedian reflected on her long friendship with Trachtenberg, who died in February 2025 at the age of 39. O'Donnell said she remained in contact with her former co-star for many years but found it increasingly difficult to reach her in the period leading up to her death.
