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. Tim: this is a real international affair French people next-door German people next door from everywhere. Are u having to do the interviews in French and German? Sarah: Oui Oui no unless it was Japanese ill probably be pretty lost, I can barely do English (pronounces it wrong) see as I have just proven English is hard for me.

Sarah: oh so beautiful. so great, just such a great man (someone laughing in the background) Tim: have u had time to hang out while you’ve been over here and go out for supper or something with him? Sarah: almost last night almost got to go to dinner last night I think tomorrow night Tim: how long are you here for? Sarah: just till Monday Tim: so you dont get to do no sightseeing or anything Sarah: luckily I have been here many times so I have seen the sights and I will do what I can for the economy while I am here Tim: well we will be very grateful, I better talk about Scooby Doo 2 Monsters Unleashed, you guys kind of get you’re comeuppance in this at the beginning don’t you? Sarah: comeuppance? You think we deserved it? Tim: well I don’t think you deserved it, but I don’t wanna give too much away but you were kind of being set up weren’t you Sarah: (in a low voice) a little bit, but I think everyone knows that Tim: but don’t give too much away Sarah: the gangs is the hero’s they wouldn’t do anything wrong. (Clip from the movie) Tim: do you wanna explain the plot or do u want me too? Sarah: I want you to do it Tim: no the answer is you’ll do it Sarah: no no you can do it Tim: ok ermm Mystery Inc gets their comeuppance Sarah: no that’s not right Tim: well what happ... Sarah: no that’s not... Tim: there’s a Museum... (Sarah and Tim both speak at the same time then there is silence) Sarah: it’s hardly like that Tim: but they’re this mu.. Sarah: no Tim: and then they go... Sarah: not so much (starts laughing) Tim: and ultimately those meddling kids sort thing out don’t they Sarah: those pesky meddling kids (more laughing) Tim: its original humor (Another movie clip and a break) Tim: listen was there any pressure on you to do a sequel, because the first one was a huge success, do you kind of think well should I do another one, can we make it as good, will it be as successful Sarah: you know I think allot of times it is what you think, but I think in this instance we knew we could actually make a better movie, but I think it was so difficult with the first one because you wanna stay true to the cartoon but you also wanna humanize it and I think there was so much of a balance when making the first one that to do the second one you kinda went in knowing what worked an what didn’t so in this instance I think sequels are almost easier which I think is rare (Another movie clip) Tim: how’s Freddie? Sarah: he’s sad he’s not here but his credit card is doing plenty out here so he need not worry Tim: you both obvious worked on this movie together, do you take the work home, do you argue when u get home, are you critical of each other? Sarah: well no we just solve a lot of mysteries at home Tim: that’s a very good answer that shut me up in one foul swoop. Oh come you must go home, and you must say “you weren’t that good in that scene“ and he must say “Sarah I really think you should have done this scene differently” Sarah: sounds more like “Honey will you make dinner”. “No”. “Please I’m hungry”. “Ok” so its pretty much that Tim: so its domesticated bliss then Sarah: a little more like that (Another movie clip) Tim: very quickly Buffy finished, gone, completely Sarah: its sad I know, erm for now you never know Tim: ouu not necessarily gone forever Sarah: I don’t think anything is forever so I always say never say never Tim: if they dangled a few dollars in front of you and said were gonna do a big screen version, because you didn’t do the big screen version in the beginning did you Sarah: no I was not in the original movie Tim: so if they said were gonna do another movie Sarah: I don’t know we’ll have to see wont we Tim: the very non-committal Sarah Michelle Gellar (Sarah Laughs) talking to Steve Wright in the afternoon.
