Smgboard.com Sarah Michelle GellarSarah Michelle Gellar’s 2009 Birthday Project - Donation to CAREFriday 13 March 2009, 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. From Eleagold (SMG Board) : As you probably remember, last year’s Birthday Project was a collective donation to CARE (www.care.org). We gathered $1,775 that were donated in Sarah’s name on April 14th. Since it is a great cause and Sarah is still an ambassador for CARE, we’ve decided to donate again to them this year. We are well aware that the current state of the economy does not encourage huge donations, but even the smallest amount will make a difference. Even if you can only spare $1, please do not hesitate to contribute to this project. You can send your donation through Paypal to eleagold@yahoo.com and I will keep track of all donations and keep you updated here regularly. You can include your screenname as it might make it easier to keep track of all the donations. As I did last year, I will post the receipt as a proof that the money has been donated right after I receive it. Because we chose to use Paypal, Care will not be able to issue individual tax receipts. The global tax receipt will not be used by anyone. If you are planning on participating to the project and really want a tax receipt for your donation, or for any questions about this, please contact me at eleagold@yahoo.com. We have a little over a month to gather as much as possible! Please feel free to spread the word around, convince your friends to donate to a great cause, post in other forums, etc. And please do not hesitate to contact me for any questions regarding Paypal or the project in general. "For my birthday, I ask friends to make a donation to CARE in my name. It makes me so happy." Sarah Michelle Gellar, Instyle May 2008 |
