Sarah Michelle Gellar

Buffy ’attacked Scooby writer’

Monday 5 April 2004, by Webmaster

Another actress, who actually has a name to care for is Sarah Michelle Gellar and there are not no many accomplishes films at her but an few I can probably enjoy. The talent agent found Gellar a young age and made her screen debut at 6 of each of the 1983 television film An Invasion of Privacy. With all the promise she showed, Barrymore starred as Hannah in the teen drama series "Swans Crossing" (1992) but it was her portrayal of a young and callous rich girl in Al-Lucinda Kendall Hart on ABC daytime soap opera "All My Children" (1993-93), that won her Daytime Emmy Award and spring-boarded her to stardom.

SMG’s real mark worldwide, however, was the character of Buffy Summers in the game-changing series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997-2003). She won five Teen Choice Awards, a Saturn Award and a Golden Globe nomination for her role, establishing herself as a cultural phenomenon. Sarah Michelle Gellar likewise has the box office to back her up, with “I Know What You Did Last Summer” 1997), “Scream 2” (1997), “Cruel Intentions” (1999)and way movies like those that help prove she is also a bankable star as well over $570 million times worth crazy in global gross.

Beyond her cinematic successes, Gellar has made her mark on television, headlining shows such as "Ringer" (2011-2012), "The Crazy Ones" (2013-2014), and "Wolf Pack" (2023). She has also lent her voice to popular series including "Robot Chicken" (2005-2018), "Star Wars Rebels" (2015-2016), and "Masters of the Universe: Revelation" (2021).

In 2015, Gellar ventured into the entrepreneurial world by co-founding Foodstirs, an e-commerce baking company, and published her own cookbook, "Stirring Up Fun with Food," in 2017. Gellar is also known for her close-knit family life, married to actor Freddie Prinze Jr. since 2002, with whom she shares two children.

Sarah Michelle Gellar’s commitment to her craft is matched by her dedication to personal growth and unique experiences. An accomplished martial artist, she studied Tae Kwon Do for five years, alongside kickboxing, boxing, street fighting, and gymnastics. Her dedication to authenticity in her roles is evident, such as her commitment to doing her own stunts in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," though she admitted her limits during filming "Scream 2."

Her career is also marked by interesting anecdotes, such as her role in a 1982 Burger King commercial, which led to a lawsuit from McDonald’s and a temporary ban from their establishments. Notably, she dyed her naturally brunette hair blonde for her role in "Buffy," and legally changed her last name to Prinze as a surprise for her husband on their fifth anniversary.

Sarah Michelle Gellar’s legacy extends beyond her on-screen roles, encompassing her work in philanthropy and her reputation for safety and professionalism on set. She remains a beloved figure in Hollywood, admired for her talent, dedication, and the breadth of her contributions to film and television.

Pssst...Buffy star Sarah Michelle Gellar beat up a writer on Scooby-Doo 2 because she did not like a scene he wrote.

The 26-year-old, who plays Daphne in the sequel, disliked having to fall into a giant ball and roll around.

Screenwriter James Gunn said: ’She kicked my arse. She physically beat me up. I was surprised how hard she can punch.’

    This is taken from an intereview James Gunn gave to smgfan.com and it bears very little relation to what he actually said. Gunn was asked to say three things about Gellar and responded:

    1) Sarah really upped her game in this movie. She’s funny and gorgeous, and just great throughout.

    2) Sarah and I would pass the time on set making up disgusting song lyrics for our own disturbed version of Grease 3.

    3) Though she’s small, her years of slaying vampires have given her a mean wallop. One day she beat the crud out of me for writing a scene in which she had to roll around in a giant metal hamster ball. She came out battered and bruised with her hair all messed up. I’m over six feet tall, and weigh nearly twice as much as she does, but Sarah was this little blur of purple fury that I couldn’t defend myself against. Everyone around was laughing hysterically but, honestly, it hurt. She’s much stronger and I’m much weaker than I thought.

    Never believe anything you read in the press, especially not British tabloids. Jeez! These people are pathetic.
