Digitalspy.co.uk Sarah Michelle GellarSarah Michelle Gellar - "Buffy" star laughs off return to SunnydaleBen Rawson-Jones Friday 20 October 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. Former Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Sarah Michelle Gellar has laughed off a potential return to Sunnydale. Citing her age as the stumbling block for reuniting with her old ’Scooby Gang’, the 30-year-old actress told The Independent: "Oh, God, I’ll be in a walker. And Buffy will be killing people with her cane." However, she then offered a glimmer of hope to fans of the cult show, which ran for seven seasons. "It’s not in my immediate future, but stranger things have happened," admitted Gellar. Since Buffy drew to a close in 2003, several spin-offs have been rumoured to be in development. Anthony Head, who played librarian Rupert Giles, told the Mirror this week that he would ’jump at the chance’ to reprise the character. The Observer previously reported in 2001 that the BBC were developing a series called The Watcher based around Giles’ further adventures, but this never came to fruition. Rumours of Spike television movies starring James Marsters as the Cockney vampire also continue to persist. But actress Alyson Hannigan scotched rumours of a Willow spin-off earlier this year when she told Sci Fi Wire that “I think I would just be too scared to sort of go back and possibly tarnish it in any way.” Buffy did manage to launch one successful companion show in the form of Angel. The David Boreanaz-starring series ran for five seasons until being axed in 2004. Keywords3 Forum messages |
