Sarah Michelle Gellar : The next Dido ?

Wednesday 3 November 2004, 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.

Hollywood babe Satah Michelle Gellar has been reportedly touting herself as the next Dido as she looks for a recording deal.

The Grudge star famously sang in the musical episode of Buffy, The Vampire Slayer in November 2001 and has been telling friends she would love to follow in the footsteps of actress-turned-singer Minnie Driver.

British newspaper Daily Express reports Gellar said: "I have written quite a few numbers and I’m looking for the right record deal.

"I want to show the world the other side of me and I think I have a similar sound to Dido, so look out for me."

    I bloody well hope not, i hate it when people get record deals just because there a well done actress/actor, that said, if she has talent, then go for it, though i’ll still not like it, anyway no matter where i see her, she is still Buffy Anne Summer’s, like when i saw the trailer to the grudge, i just thought buffy :)

    This b*****ks came from the Daily Express, a scumbucket tabloid. It is a complete fabrication, just like the equally ridiculous rumours that Gellar was going to star in a film version of ’Sabrina the Teenage Witch’, that she wanted to be the next Wonder Woman, and that Holly Valance was going to take over the role of Buffy.

    It is complete garbage, a pack of lies. Do NOT take it seriously.

    The Daily Express? The same Daily Express that printed, and defended, Robert Kilroy-Silk’s borderline rascist, inflammatory comments?. Right... there’s one damn reputable paper for you. Excuse me if I choose not to take this one too seriously. But in Bizarro World, God help us if she did. What market anywhere in the world would buy that? She’s a great actress, but she cannot sing. Possibly one of her ’is it sarcasm or isn’t it’ comments taken a little too seriously.
