Sarah Michelle Gellar - "Southland Tales" Movie - Buffy in the buff

Tuesday 23 May 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.

LIFE STYLE EXTRA (UK) - Sarah Michelle Gellar loved playing a porn star in new movie, ’Southland Tales’.

The former ’Buffy’ actress wanted to play the adult movie actress so much, she signed up for the film without even seeing a script.

Launching her film at the Cannes Film Festival, she revealed: "The director, Richard Kelly, came to me with presented the film so thoroughly that I couldn’t say no. It was a dream come true.

"I play Krysta Now who is an adult film star but she’s also a reality television star, she has an album, she has a soda drink... she’s a multi industry."

However, Gellar - who is married to her ’Scooby Doo’ co-star Freddie Prinze Junior - doesn’t want people to think of her character as just a porn star.

She said: "The most important thing to me is that it makes you re-examine things but it’s also evocative and that’s all that I ask of people, whether it makes you angry, whether it makes you sad, whether it makes you unhappy with the world.

"I want you to feel something and go home and talk about it and keep speaking about it."

  • That was nothing but a damage control response. SMG why not wait till your fans have seen the movie before prefacing " I want you to feel something from this" Dont be reactive to critical response. I will say first impresions are usually correct, no matter how many times a film is seen in retrospect.
