Sarah Michelle Gellar

Sarah Michelle Gellar no longer holds a Grudge ?

Monday 18 April 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.

Based on what a report in today’s The Hollywood Reporter says, as well as an item posted a couple of days ago at Bloody Disgusting, it’s looking more and more likely that Sarah Michelle Gellar mightn’t be back for a second helping of "The Grudge".

The former Slayer was open to the idea, but it sounds like the sequel might be going off in a different direction.

The latter site reported earlier that a brand-new cast is being sought for the sequel, again being produced by Sam Raimi, Robert Tapert and Taka Ichise, and directed again by Takashi Shimizu.

Sarah Michelle Gellar is currently filming "Revolver" with Sam Shepard and Australia’s Peter O’Brien.

The trade says that Sony has just reached a deal to distribute both the English-language debut film from the Pang brothers, as well as the forthcoming "Grudge 2".

I wasn’t that big a fan of the U.S remake - there’s been episodes of "Buffy" that were scarier - so here’s hoping they flesh out proceedings a little better this time.

    Hey ! I have to say , that in my opinion as a hardened horror flick watcher that The Grudge scared the crap out of me. I had palpable shock and creepy feelimgs down the spine.

    As much as I loved watching Buffy and Angel the closest I ever felt was real weirded out and appallingly fasinated hollywoodish culture stuff. "and there’s nothing wrong with that" as Gerry Siendfield would say

    Two completly different horror places I think
