Sunday 24 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.

*The Rock - and his second place a** [see Film/TV Bits] - have been cast opposite Sarah Michelle Gellar and his co-star in “The Rundown,” Seann William Scott, in "Southland Tales," set in Los Angeles on July 4, 2008, as it stands on the brink of social, economic and environmental disaster. Johnson will play Boxer Santaros, an action star stricken with amnesia who crosses paths with Krysta Now (Gellar), a porn star developing her own reality television project, and David Clark (Scott), a Hermosa Beach cop who holds the key to a vast conspiracy. Principal photography on the project, from "Donnie Darko" writer-director Richard Kelly, is slated to begin Aug. 1 in Los Angeles.

*Rumor has it that Tony Todd will reprise his role as The Candyman in a new film in the franchise, according to the Web site Dark Horizons. The news was overheard on the set of the New Line Cinema film “Final Destination 3: Cheating Death,” which at one time had Todd attached. The director mentioned: “Tony’s supposed to do another “Candyman” sometime this year,” after he finishes shooting his next film “Hatchet.”

The light is now green for “Like Mike 2” at Twentieth Century Fox, but you won’t see Bow Wow, Morris Chestnut, or any of the other stars of the first pic. The original 2002 film starred Bow Wow as a youngster who becomes an NBA superstar after trying on a pair of sneakers with the faded initials "M.J." inside. The new film will follow a 12-year-old kid named Jerome, whose sudden ability to slam dunk pleases his father, a former street baller who blew his big chance. No announcement has been made regarding the casting, however, Fox is aiming for a June start in Vancouver.
