Meet Michelle Trachtenberg
All About the character, "Harriet"

Sara: How did you get ready to do a part like "Harriet the Spy"?

Michelle: I had read the books before I knew that they were going to make a movie, so I learned a lot from the books. And what really amazed me was that I saw a lot of myself in Harriet. I can relate to her in so many ways. I really have a lot of things in common with Harriet. We both do things the same way, and I thought I just had to look at myself to be Harriet.

Sara: In what ways are you and Harriet alike?

Michelle: Well, Harriet and I have a lot in common. We both love to read and write. I love to write stories, and I love to read books all the time, and so does Harriet. And we both really do love to eat tomato sandwiches. And we usually wear the same clothing, you know, something comfortable. Harriet is unique. She sets her goals in life, and she usually meets them. That's another way I think we're a lot alike. And we're both extremely curious.

Sara: Do you have a favorite scene in the movie?

Michelle: I have a couple of favorite scenes ... when Golly was leaving, or when Golly tells Harriet the truth -- those are two of my favorite scenes. I loved all of the scenes in the movie, but I think those stuck out.

Sara: Spying on other people is pretty brave. What's the bravest thing you had to do as Harriet?

Michelle: I'm not afraid of heights, but when I hung off a building -- I think that was pretty interesting, hanging off the building. Some people say, "Oh, Michelle, they made the camera do that specially, right? You know, they have those special screens to make it look like you're hanging, right?" No! I was hanging.
