Sarah Michelle Gellar

Sarah Michelle Gellar - "The Grudge 2" Movie - Gellar Worth Roughly $17M More Than Tamblyn

Monday 16 October 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.

Mondays mornings are Pain. But the Monday morning box office numbers are Relief.

1. The Grudge 2—$22 million

Somehow, despite our best intentions to waste twelve bucks on something carefully engineered to steal teenagers’ money, we didn’t make it out to The Grudge sequel. But from what we understand, [SPOILER ALERT? Sort of?] Sarah Michelle Gellar sticks around for the minimum amount of time to get Grudge’d and hand over the sinking franchise to Amber Tamblyn. Hopefully, the facts that even B-listers like Gellar are bailing on these movies and this installment took in $17 million less than the original will finally bring an end to the dirty-undead-children-offing-slumming-actresses genre, at least before they make it to The Grudge 4, starring the second lead from an as-yet-unwritten teen drama from The CW’s 2008 schedule.

2. The Departed—$18.675 million

While some have criticized Nicholson’s performance as a little too much "Jack" and not enough "character," we think he showed admirable restraint in the much-anticipated strap-on scene. A lesser actor would have let the dildo wear him, but Nicholson was fully in control of his huge, supplemental appendage as he menaced Matt Damon with its veiny girth in that porno theater.

3. Man of the Year—$12.550 million

It’s clear from Man of the Year’s soft opening that a well-timed trip to rehab and the resulting press junket confessionals are no longer the promotional weapons they once were.

4. Open Season—$11.8 million

The first seven names on the Open Season credits provide more proof that this year’s glut of animated films has led studios to cast them completely randomly from the pool of actors not toiling on higher-profile CGI talking animal projects: Martin Lawrence, Ashton Kutcher, Jon Favreau, Gary Sinise, Jane Krakowski, Debra Messing, and Billy Connelly.

5. Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning—$9.643 million

It’s bad enough that Michael Bay’s messing with Chainsaw’s legacy, but we’re really going to be upset when his production company’s remake of The Hitcher finally reaches the theater. The best Rutger Hauer-stalking-C.-Thomas-Howell movie ever made should never be tampered with. And no one can play the mix of shock and disgust over almost biting into the severed finger hidden in his truck-stop French fries like Howell. No one.
