Sarah Michelle Gellar

New York Psychic Predicts Future for Sarah Michelle Gellar

Wednesday 18 January 2006, 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.

Actress Will "Vamp" Onstage as Mae West, Slaying Theatre Critics and Nay-Sayers

(I-Newswire) - New York, NY: Sarah Michelle Gellar is an example of bad roles befalling a good actress, according to psychic John Cohan. The bi-coastal seer predicts the 28-year-old performer will play Mae West onstage this year - - after which, the curse of the lame-indie-script and the teen-thriller stigma will disappear.

"Unfortunately, because Sarah Michelle Gellar has a huge ‘Buffy Summers’ fan base, Hollywood honchos think they can stake their bet on her ability to draw a movie crowd, even with the worst material on the screen," says Cohan. "Films like ’Simply Irresistible’ [1999] were simply pathetic. More often than not, she’s been cast in schlock-around-the-clock."

Cohan claims that he was the psychic that Mae West consulted in the 1970s. Grateful for his advice, Mae gave him several items of personal memorabilia. His specialty is Psychometry [the ability to read an object’s history or the history of those who may have handled it], says Cohan. Former clients included Joan Crawford, Nicole Simpson, Sandra Dee, Debra "Gidget" Walley, and other Hollywood names.

Though some East Coast theatrical producers are seeking a West Coast actress such as Kate Hudson ( born 1979 ) and comedienne Caroline Rhea ( born 1964 ) for the starring role in "Courting Mae West" - - a play based on true events during the Roaring 20s when Mae West was in her thirties - - John Cohan feels that Sarah Michelle Gellar ( born 1977 ) could channel her inner Blonde Bombshell better than anyone. Their biographies are similar: both are native New Yorkers who were encouraged by uber-stage-mothers; West debuted in vaudeville at age 6 while Gellar began working as a 4-year-old.

Cohan finds it interesting that both actresses are short - - Mae West was barely 5-feet-tall and Sarah Michelle Gellar is 5’ 3" - - and yet each specialized in powerhouse parts that emphasized strength, daring, and aggressiveness. Mae West, for instance, did all the lion-taming shots in "I’m No Angel" and Sarah Michelle Gellar, with a background in Tae Kwon Do, did most of her own stunts as "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."

Though Mae West is still the poster girl for actress-as-felon and was arrested and jailed for obscenity several times, Cohan notes that Gellar got a taste of courtroom hijinks when she was cast in a Burger King TV commercial that resulted in a now-famous disparagement lawsuit against her employers.

Since "Courting Mae West" will soon be in the hands of a casting director, John Cohan is dusting off his crystal ball.
