Sarah Michelle Gellar

Buffy star wows Scooby premiere

Sunday 28 March 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.

This is Gellar’s second Scooby-Do outing

Buffy star wows Scooby premiere

Former Buffy star Sarah Michelle Gellar turned out for the UK premiere of Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed. She was joined in London by other stars of the film including Matthew Lillard, Seth Green and Linda Cardellini.

But her co-star husband, Freddie Prinze Jr, did not attend the event at the Vue Cinema in Islington.

Victoria and David Beckham’s son Brooklyn was on the guest list, which also included Harry Potter actress Emma Watson and musician Bob Geldof.

Brooklyn was accompanied by his auntie, Louise Adams, sister of former Spice Girl Victoria.

Gellar posed for photos and signed autographs for the assembled crowd outside the cinema.

The live-action sequel based on the successful cartoon series once again sees the gang, including Fred, Daphne and Shaggy, embark on another adventure which will lead them to unmasking a villain.

Alicia Silverstone makes an appearance in the film as a pesky reporter.

The movie also features music from UK garage act Big Brovaz, who this week sacked member Flawless after he was discovered trying to take cannabis into the US.

The film will be released in the UK on 2 April.

    I think SMG and the other cast should come to Cape Town South Africa for the premire of the movie this week.
