"You" actor Penn Badgley, who played Dan Humphrey on the hit CW series, is paying tribute to his "Gossip Girl" costar Michelle Trachtenberg who played Georgina Sparks.
"What I remember of her is she was incredibly quick to laugh," Badgley told E! News of his former castmate. "She was really joyous. We all have our ups and downs, our lights and shadows, but she had this — I mean, she was mature, but she had this childlike, joyous laugh."
Badgley was understandably stunned to learn of Trachtenberg's sudden death. "It's surreal," he said. "Really surreal, really saddening."
He admitted that he hadn't seen Trachtenberg "in over a decade," but he still vividly remembered her "really pure heart."
