Sarah Michelle Gellar Is Desperate to Star in A Musical
Saturday 5 November 2005, 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.
The Vampire Slayer wants to hit the stage
Sarah Michelle Gellar wants to follow in Renee Zellweger’s footsteps and star in a musical.
Gellar thought she would never have the ability to perform a musical role, but after seeing how Zellweger was
trained into singing and dancing perfection, she has confessed her secret aspirations.
"I love the fact producers took a chance with Renee Zellweger in CHICAGO, even though she could not sing or dance. It’s great news for me", the actress said.
Sarah Michelle Gellar is in negotiations to star in The Air I Breathe, to be directed by Jieho Lee for Emilio Diez Barroso’s Nala Films and Paul Schiff Productions.
She will join Ken Watanabe and Diego Luna in the film, which will begin shooting in Mexico City in January.
The crime drama, written by Jieho and Bob DeRosa, is based on an ancient Chinese proverb that breaks life down into four emotional cornerstones: happiness, pleasure, sorrow and love.
Gellar will next be seen in the upcoming Southland Tales.

.......I thought that Southland Tales was a musical. I know imdb was saying so when it was in production. I guess they had it wrong.

Oh dear, this item is clearly BS, and Sarah has even mocked her own singing abilities on SNL.
As for the bitter anonymous who claims she hasn’t been heard of since "Scooby 2", newsflash! There was this movie called "The Grudge", remember? It cost $10 million but it grossed more than $180 million worldwide!!!! Who do you think made it so successful? SMG! People went to see that movie because she was in it! And the fact that she’s involved in 6 different movie projects (if not more) right now doesn’t exactly make me feel like she doesn’t interest anybody anymore. I’m so sick and tired of all these hate posts against Sarah.
As for OMWF, the most brilliant musical episode ever, she suffered a little in the process because as always on Buffy it was cramped into 3 weeks of production, and seeing as how she had approx. 4 numbers (!!!) in it and required a lot more training than Tony, James or Amber (each of which also had numerous tracks) due to her lack of experience, I perfectly understand why she had a hard time. It’s exhausting! And it’s not like she complained on set, she only expressed her feelings about it afterwards. How many times do actors that appear on Letterman or other talk-shows complain about how difficult and exhausting their part was. Nobody ever gives them a hard time for saying it. Even if the item is true (which i highly doubt) Sarah has every right to say this. She’s earned it fair and square.

“I swear I think if there was a rumor SMG likes vanilla icecream best, there would be people posting about how insensitive she is to chocolate.”
This is so true! Give her a rest already, jeeeese!

Is this the longest thread per shortest article or what?... :-)
CIBA, I agree with everything you said too. I think that for someone that has been doing TV for eight years like Sarah, to be immediately involved in so many projects says something about how good she is. During Buffy she did flaky campy movies cause they don’t take a long while to shoot and she could fit them into her schedule. But now we’re gonna be able to see her in so many different parts and genres. Even though she is not necessarily super famous now, her work on Buffy has clearly shown how competent an actress she is, and I’m sure she’ll show it on "The Return", "Southland Tales," "A Girl’s Guide", and all of the other projects she’s involved in.
I looove this site, but what I don’t like is the way they use rumors and title them in a way that is offensive towards the actors. To call the item "SMG desperate to star in a musical" already has negative criticism in it, because of "desperate", just like the one mentioned here about her wanting to do a nude scene to get famous. Not only is it BS and very unlikely to be something Sarah said, but it also gives more fuel to those who for some reason think Sarah is a horrible person. An actor’s obvious dream is to be able to portray many different parts in his career. Should Sarah be judged for wanting a change after 7 years????????? I know I get tired of the same job after 1 year! She has always expressed her gratitude for what the show has given her, she has always been a perfect professional on the Buffy set (listen to the different DVD commentaries, you’ll hear she’s a dream to work with on every commentary), and she had the right to call it quits after 7 years (which were in fact 8, cause the show started filming before 97). So if you hate her because she took Buffy away from you, grow up, all good things (or in Buffy’s case, all incredibly genius things) come to an end. The show went out on a high, and I don’t know if we could say the same had it gone on 1-2 more seasons. And if she does do another musical, I wish her all the luck in the world.
