I try to not follow child actors that spiral in adulthood as it's very depressing, so I don't know the details and probably won't look them up. Very sad for anyone to die so relatively young. I remember her from Pete and Pete and Harriet the Spy, and then some teen movies later on.
e. changed to a video that would embed

Apparently she had a liver transplant and maybe some complications happened.

I don't have much to say, luckily she left us a legacy of a little actress, :cry: although she didn't have a prominent career after Buffy.

I happened to stumble across the Judith Barsi tragedy if I felt bad about it.

I believe she was originally listed on the Moviegirls list in the late 90's. Sad to hear that she died so soon.
