Friday 11 February 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.

Sarah Michelle Gellar refuses to get naked in front of the camera for the sake of a good career: "I want to be a model for my fans." That is why she likes to play tough girls knowing how to defend themselves. She is doing films for her fans and not for the critics. "If I meet a fan at the street telling me being enthusiastic about my work I am more delighted concerning this fact compared to a good criticism. Her new movie Grudge starts on March, 3th 2005 in Germany.

  • Go Sarah! You tell them girl! At least we know that Sarah has class, and isn’t a major slut bomb like most of the actresss’ we see on TV. This is one reason why I respect her. Go Sarah!
  • i am positively sure ive seen topless pictures of her this summer on google. Now i cant seem 2 find them there. but then there is the chance that the pics were fake and only were stuck on. dunno bout that
  • I really respect Sarah for this. For the most part, all her pictures have had way more class than the other Buffy actresses. And to Cutie Tart, I’m sure the topless pics were fake—I also came across a naked SMG pic a few years back while surfing for Buffy pics & no way was it her body—just her face.
  • Okay, this seriously needs to be posted all over Buffy.nu and every other site that talks about SMG. Doing a Sex scene is DIFFERENT than being naked. SMG can do sex scenes like in Harvard Man, Buffy, etc. and keep her integrity (sp?). Showing your body is personal, and its different than pretending to have sex.

    And yes, maybe it was a tad hypocritical for her to say she was degraded on Buffy but not in Harvard Man, but the situations were different. She had been playing Buffy for longer, and it was with James a close friend. The scenes were also pretty rough. I would feel that way to.

    Sarah is just doing her job, and she’s a freakin millionare so I would say she’s doin a damn good job.

  • an actors body is their tool. if they don’t use it they are a fraud.
