Sarah Michelle Gellar

Sarah Michelle Gellar is #17 on Aol.com Has Been Celebrities Top 20

Monday 23 July 2007, 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.

17. Sarah Michelle Gellar At least when Sarah Michelle Gellar was starring in ’Buffy the Vampire Slayer,’ she was hugely famous (if just with the few million fans of the show). Now, after a few bumps like ’The Grudge,’ Sarah’s just another actress who we lost to the fame void that is Freddie Prinze, Jr. That man has taken so much from us!

  • They be crazy. She is far from being a has been.
  • You know why she is becoming a has been celebrity, because at every turn she has dissed her Buffy fan base. Complaining about how she doesn’t want to do anything Buffy or anything that could be compaired to Buffy. She needs to win back those fans and do the Buffy movie. That will bring her back.
  • I don’t see how she’s dissed us at all? She said that her time on BTVS was some of the best of her life. Is it wrong for her to want to try other roles and not get type cast like other members of the cast like James Marsters?

    She’s got Addicted, Southland Tales, Suburban Girl all coming out. She had both Grudges - might I add the first was one of the most grossing with a female lead was it not? Along with TMNT that was out this past spring. Tell me that any of those other people on that list actually have that much work.

    She said if Joss was involved and she liked the way they did it, she would come back for a potential movie.

    Despite that. What movie are you talking about? IS there a Buffy movie in talks? Are the networks forking over cash, does Joss even give a shit anymore? So exactly what movie is she supposed to "come back" for? To do that, there would actually have to be a movie.

    Do your research before you talk.

  • How do u get has been? She’s got like 8 movies in the works right now. Besides that, she had 2 I believe come out this year. They weren’t great, but they were fun to watch... these things are stupid. And Jen Aniston and PDiddy arent has beens either. This is such a stupid list.

    Sarah, of course, if she reads it, won’t care, she’s too cool. :D And if she reads my comment, she’ll think I’m lame. She’s right :D
