Sarah Michelle Gellar

Write a birthday haiku for Sarah Michelle Gellar on Ew.com

Sunday 16 April 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.


92031__smg_l Happy 29th birthday to Sarah Michelle Gellar. In her honor, I’ve composed a traditional PopWatch haiku. Won’t you write one, too?

Does she watch Freddie,
The ferocious SMG?
And where’s her Emmy?

Our girl’s twenty-nine
Growing up so very fast
But still looks so fine

You said bye to Buf
Now you have no job, no life
Time to call Joss up

B-DAY HAIKU

It was a Spring day,
saw you ran, flowers in hair,
getting in Willow’s way.

Upstaged Ms. Lucci
Staked vampires and screwed two more
Married bad actor

Josh | Apr 14, 2006 5:39:31 PM

Not a haiku but just want to point out that she does have an Emmy — albeit a daytime one for younger actress

Josh | Apr 14, 2006 5:18:16 PM

Have a good birthday
May it be neverending
Here’s to the Slayer!

Arlo J. Wiley | Apr 14, 2006 4:22:54 PM

Loved you on Buffy
Met you at The Grudge Premiere
Enjoy this fun day

Karl | Apr 14, 2006 4:18:27 PM

Enjoy it, Sarah
And for all
Southland Tales opens in the autumn

Martin | Apr 14, 2006 3:30:07 PM

People tend to know
a common word like "haiku."
Save your links, PopWatch.

So, you are famous
Buffy the Bad Guy Slayer
So, I guess we care

JJ | Apr 14, 2006 2:55:20 PM

There once was a vampire slayer;
The vamps would try to trick and try to play her;
If only they knew
That the best thing to do
Was not try to fight her, but to lay her

Simon Morley | Apr 14, 2006 2:39:52 PM

i’m on crack.......i’ll give it another try

Loved when you screwed Spike
Even more when you beat Faith
Wish you were still on


YAY!!! I did it!

justin | Apr 14, 2006 2:15:31 PM

Twenty-nine years old;
True Vampire Slayer to the end;
Can’t she make good films?

Simon Morley | Apr 14, 2006 2:14:26 PM


Happy B-Day, Buff!
Or do you prefer Kendall?
Blow out your candles

Dylan | Apr 14, 2006 2:13:24 PM

Sadly, Justin’s isn’t a haiku either.

A haiku is five
Then seven more syllables
After that five more

Maya | Apr 14, 2006 1:35:39 PM

uhhhhhhhhh...that is NOT a haiku Robin!

jojo | Apr 14, 2006 12:49:14 PM

Robin Piacenza | Apr 14, 2006 12:31:58 PM

Loved it when you screwed Spike
