Sarah Michelle Gellar

Sarah Michelle Gellar Audio Interview

Monday 5 April 2004, by cally

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.

Sarah Michelle Gellar Audio Interview

Sarah Michelle Gellar is back on our big screens this month as dapper Daphne in Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Inc. and it sounds like she’s had a great time getting her teeth into this sequel too. Although most of you probably know that Sarah Michelle Gellar was playing ever-fighting vampire slayer Buffy on TV for years, you probably won’t know that her career started at the tender age of four, when she was discovered by an agent whilst eating in a local restaurant. Shortly after, her film career kicked off and numerous stints at various Broadway theatres followed.

She may have killed her last vampire on your TV screens but you will have plenty of opportunities to see her on your cinema screens, or even a theatre stage near you, very soon. Shooting Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Inc., which also features her husband Freddie Prince Jr., sadly prevented her from returning to play Buffy one last time on TV show Angel, but she says that it was probably best that way.

It’s anyone’s guess what is next for this multi-talented actress who is equally at home on screen and on stage. She kept her future plans firmly under wraps but who knows, she said that she loves London, so don’t be too surprised if you see her walking around town, checking out a few plays in the West End.

    It is good to know SMG actually noticed and cared that the fans werent satisfied with Buffy finale in terms of Xander and Willow having no stand alone episodes all season and kinda been looked over. That is the reason she isnt doing the Angel finale and as much as I want them to be all happy ever after I am glad she wont be taking the limelight away from Angel’s own characters!!
