Sarah Michelle Gellar

Sarah Michelle Gellar no strip vow

Saturday 26 November 2005, by Webmaster

Sarah Michelle Gellar, a name synonymous with versatility and enduring appeal, began her illustrious career in the entertainment industry as a child. Discovered by a talent agent at a young age, Gellar’s screen debut came at the tender age of six with the television film "An Invasion of Privacy" in 1983. Her early promise led to a leading role in the teen drama series "Swans Crossing" in 1992, but it was her portrayal of Kendall Hart on the ABC soap opera "All My Children" (1993-1995) that earned her a Daytime Emmy Award and catapulted her into the limelight.

SMG’s true claim to international fame, however, was her iconic role as Buffy Summers in the groundbreaking series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997-2003). Her performance not only garnered her five Teen Choice Awards, a Saturn Award, and a Golden Globe nomination, but it also cemented her status as a cultural icon. Sarah Michelle Gellar’s filmography is equally impressive, with box office hits like "I Know What You Did Last Summer" (1997), "Scream 2" (1997), "Cruel Intentions" (1999), "Scooby-Doo" (2002), and "The Grudge" (2004) collectively grossing over $570 million globally.

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.

LIFE STYLE EXTRA (UK) - ’Buffy The Vampire Slayer’ Sarah Michelle Gellar has vowed never to appear in the buff on screen.

The sexy actress has reportedly been offered a host of roles for "major money" to bare all in front of the cameras.

But Sarah Michelle, married to hunky actor Freddie Prinze Jr., has turned down the lucrative offers because she isn’t prepared to sell her body.

A representative for the stunning star said: "Sarah doesn’t do nudity, period. It has never been her thing."

The decision signals a major change of heart for Sarah Michelle who earlier this year said she was prepared to peel off - if the right role came along.

The stunning star was so desperate to shake off her teen star image she admitted she would consider appearing naked on screen if it would convince directors to cast her in more adult roles so.

When quizzed on the subject, she said at the time: "I am approaching 30 and I need a change.

"The sort of roles I would like are not being offered, so this way might just shock people into choosing me."

    Why, oh, why do people insist on continuing to perpetuate malicious gossip? The so-called "news" published a few months ago claiming Gellar was desperate to go nude in her films was a COMPLETE AND UTTER LIE started in the British tabloids and quickly spread across the Internet. No matter how often the lie is told it always remains a lie. Repeating it parrot fashion does not suddenly make it true. The latest little titbit in the New York Post is, basically, exactly the same thing but in reverse, simply something we already know used to fill up a couple of column inches. All it does is give the orginal gossip renewed legs. It is already well known that Gellar has stated on several occasions that she is not comfortable with the idea of doing nudes scenes and has no intention of doing so. There is no more to it than that. She has made a personal decision about what she wants to do - end of discussion.

    I knew the "Topless/nude role "rumors were just that ... Rumors. Absolutely no truth to them at all. But it’s good to hear her stand position ... and not back down as other actresses may.
