Angela Sarafyan was already 16 at the time her first credit aired, the 15th episode of Judging Amy. But her youthful appearance continued for more than a decade.
She was in Buffy at 18.
I was always impressed with her work, although I didn't catch most of it in real time. Mostly on reruns.
She now has 88 acting credits on IMDb.

I always thought Katie Holmes had a classic look.
Spitting image of Natalie Wood.
I think Katie was 13 in Ice Harvest.

Damn... Didn't know Michelle had died.

Died of diabetes too... so they say.

I find that one kind of hard to believe. It may have been what ultimately killed her, but unless she was off her rocker for a prolonged period of time with drink and drugs and/or in a depression so deep she wasn't even bothering to monitor herself or take the time to install her CGM and insulin pods, I think you'd really have to work hard at killing yourself at that age by Diabetes after you've been diagnosed. Before I was diagnosed, I had been losing weight for nearly 3 months despite what I ate, and I was pissing out so much sugar that the bubbles in the toilet wouldn't pop, and my body had starting eating my muscles. The second I got put on the right meds all of that stopped immediately.

She had a liver transplant at some point recently. Even with my insane amounts of drinking before I got sober, as far as I know I don't have any liver issues from it. Maybe she had Type 1 from an early age and mixing pills and drink with that over the years trashed her liver because she was always immunocompromised.

RIP

She passed the end of Feb, otherwise she would have turned 41 last month.
She didn't make her health issues highly public, but she had suffered several ailments IIRC. Sometimes gobs of cash and celebrity isn't enough to ward off The Reaper. She apparently fought for a while. I had hoped it wasn't because of taking the wrong medical advice. If diabetes was the biggest problem, then she surely got screwed over by her docs.
