By Tammy Cordani

Wednesday 10 August 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.

“There’s something evil there.” - Karen Davis (“The Grudge” - 2004)

What happens when a curse consumes a house and everyone who enters that place ultimately meets their end? In this 2004 remake of the Japanese film “Ju-On”, Karen Davis (Sarah Michelle Gellar) finds herself in a strange home caring for Emma (Grace Zabriskie) when the woman’s nurse, Yoko (Yoko Maki), goes missing. Karen, however, is unaware that this is only the start of her problems. While you’re watching this horror flick, keep an eye out for these spine tingling movie goofs!

Is It Laundry Day?

Watch closely when Yoko arrives at the house. While she’s talking, you will see a blue shirt over a lampshade in the background. At first glance, most of the shirt is over the lampshade. But, in the next shot, the shirt’s position changes and it looks as if it’s only the shirt’s sleeve over the shade.

Don’t Go In There!

Yoko decides to venture into the attic. Keep an eye on the sliding door during the scene. The door that leads to the attic is more than half way open when Yoko takes a look. But, in the next shot, once she’s been “swooped” up, the door is less than half way open.

Here We Go Again

This time around, Karen decides to venture into the closet. She tears the tape off the closet door, opens it and sees a book on the bottom. Look carefully when she picks up the book. At first Karen is holding the book by the side where it would open. In the very next shot, she’s holding the book by its spine.

Let’s Play That Again!

You’ll have to listen closely to two scenes to get this one. Susan (KaDee Strickland) calls and leaves a message on the answering machine. The first time we hear the message, Katie is listening. The message originally says “You can try my cell or at home later. Just want to make sure mom’s OK.”. She also mentions about calling later. Later, when the police listen to the message, it says something along the lines of “Just a little worried about mom. Just want to make sure she’s OK. Call me when you can.”!
