Yahoo.com Sarah Michelle GellarSarah Michelle Gellar - Freddie Prinze Jr.’s Great YearFriday 23 December 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. FREDDIE PRINZE JR. is on a roll with his new ABC sitcom, airing Wednesdays at 8:30 p.m., which got its full season pickup a few weeks back. It was a double bonus for the second generation Hollywood star as he not only headlines the series, he is one of its executive producers. Freddie had a lot of concerns when he signed with ABC, so he took a lot of care when developing the comedy. His first consideration was picking great co-workers; then he decided to tackle subject matter that hit close to home. Even though he was starring in a comedy, Freddie wanted it to be a truthful representation of a family. So, he spoke to GEORGE LOPEZ, whose show he admires, to get some advice. "George said to believe in myself," Freddie relates. Although Freddie is married in real life to SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR and his TV character is single, there are a lot of similarities between the two Freddies when it comes to the women in their lives. "I was raised by women," the ’Scooby Doo’ star explains. "And when I had my first experience with success in this business, I had a touch of tragedy in my family and everyone [his mother, grandmother and two god-sisters] was forced to move in with me for a significant amount of time. I only had a four-bedroom house and quickly lost my bedroom." While he hasn’t lost his bedroom on "Freddie," he is surrounded by women: JACQUELINE OBRADORS plays his sister, JENNY GAGO is his grandmother, and CHLOE SUAZO is his niece. The other male character on the show is his best buddy Chris, played by BRIAN AUSTIN GREEN. ET was on the set the day that DENISE QUIÑONES, a former Miss Universe from Puerto Rico, was guest starring. "We don’t allow Brian to talk with her," Freddie laughs. And speaking of guest stars, will Mrs. Prinze ever appear on her hubby’s series? "I wouldn’t do that this year," he says. "I think that would be kind of expected, and I’d rather not do that. That’d be my first on-screen kiss, though." For more on ET’s set visit to "Freddie," tune in to tonight’s ET! |
