Sarah Michelle Gellar - "Suburban Girl" Movie - Alec Baldwin’s bad behavior

Tuesday 13 June 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.

On Baldwin’s set, no Field of dreams

Alec Baldwin rejected departing designer Patricia Field’s charge he acted badly on the ’Girls Guide to Hunting & Fishing’ set.

I hear that when stylist and costume designer Patricia Field quit the New York production of "The Girls’ Guide to Hunting and Fishing" on Friday, she blamed the allegedly bad behavior of Alec Baldwin as a factor in her decision.

I’m told Field has privately complained not only about Baldwin but about the production’s alleged "total disorganization." Yesterday, she declined to comment on these issues.

"I’m not interested in fighting," Field told me. "I don’t want to be spending my time on negativity. ... Working is not a problem. I have a lot of work, thank God. Life is short. You want to enjoy each day."

But Baldwin - who stars opposite Sarah Michelle Gellar in the movie based on the popular chick-lit novel - vigorously defended himself in a phone call, and called Field "a fruit-salad head" and a "wack job, 24-7" among other choice epithets.

"When Pat left, virtually everybody on the film was relieved," Baldwin told me. "She is a cranky, miserably unhappy woman, and I’m actually one of the few people on the set that actually gave Pat a chance."

Baldwin said Field tried to dictate costume choices, unlike more prominent Hollywood designers he’s worked with. "I did my job, which was to say ’yes,’ ’no,’ ’yes,’ ’no.’ I never had an argument with Pat."

Also joining in Baldwin’s defense was Gellar, who told me: "Alec has been a doll, and anything else you’ve heard is entirely one-sided and untrue. Alec has been a dream co-star. It hurt me so deeply that anyone would say anything else."

Co-producer Linda McDonough also went after Field, whose costume work includes "Sex and the City," "The Devil Wears Prada" (out June 30) and the ABC fall series "Six Degrees."

"The situation was strictly one of creative differences, not an unusual aspect of this business, and the producers find Alec Baldwin to be a consummate professional with sophisticated tastes," McDonough told me. "Patricia has outrageously singled out Alec, when the producers and the director found her tastes to be inappropriate for this classy film."
