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. Director Richard Kelly wrote in his online blog that he has locked the final cut of his upcoming apocalyptic SF movie Southland Tales at two hours and 17 minutes. That’s nearly half an hour shorter than the early cut that screened at the Cannes Film Festival, earning much derision in the process. "I am very happy with this edit, as we have done a significant amount of work to solve the Rubik’s Cube narrative," Kelly (Donnie Darko) wrote on Dec. 4. "Justin Timberlake just recorded the final voice-over this past Sunday. We still have some visual-effects work to do, ... but expect a release date and a trailer soon!" Kelly recently completed the second of three prequel graphic novels, Southland Tales-Book II: Fingerprints, and said that the third volume will go to the printer this week. "I can’t believe it is almost over, ... and that we have made it to the end with our sanity intact," Kelly said. "Well, ... perhaps not completely intact." Southland Tales, starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Sarah Michelle Gellar, is set in near-future Los Angeles on the eve of an unnamed disaster. Kelly added that he is prepping The Box, his next SF movie, which he hopes to begin shooting in March in Virginia. 1 Message |
