Born April 14, 1977 in New
York City, Sarah Michelle Gellar has become sort of a pseudo 'feminist'
for her generation, although she cringes at the word herself. But
her role as a beautiful female who kicks ass on television certainly has
made herself a role model to her female generation.
While
many of Gellar's scenes as Buffy in Buffy the Vampire Slayer use
stunt double Sophia Crawford, Gellar does carry a brown belt in Tae Kwon
Do. Sarah was seen on TV as early as three years old, where she played
Valerie Harper's daughter in An Invasion of Privacy, a made for
TV movie. At four, she was part of the infamous burger wars playing in
a commercial for Burger King which mocked the size of McDonald's burgers.
Afterwards, she appeared in scores more commercials, which also helped
land her roles in movies like
Over The Brooklyn Bridge, Funny
Farm, High Stakes, and TV's
Spencer for Hire. Further
roles include A Woman Named Jackie and Swan's Crossing. At
the age of 16, Gellar played as a 22 year old (!) in All My Children.
She played as Erica Kane's (Susan Lucci) daughter, and was in a role which
had her seduce her stepfather, break up her mother's marriage, shooting
people, and faking pregnancies! The role got her something Susan Lucci
almost never did, an Emmy in 1994 for Outstanding Younger Actress. Perhaps
that award played a role in Lucci's despising of the young star, which
comes as a shock since Gellar is supposedly the only person on the
All
My Children cast which Lucci clashed with.
1996 Brought on her most
well known roll, cast as Buffy in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which
was based on the movie that starred Kristy Swanson. Buffy has become sort
of a cult favorite and gets decent ratings despite being relegated to the
WB Network. Her starring role has helped her land jobs in I Know What
You Did Last Summer and Scream. In 1999 she played in the comedy
Simply
Irresistible. Its ironic given that Gellar is apparently anything but
irresistible according to gossip which suggests she has running feuds with
not only Lucci, but Neve Campbell, former lover Matthew Perry, Julia Roberts,
and The Spice Girls (we can forgive her for that!). The latest feud apparently
exists with fellow WB star Kerri Russell, whom Gellar says she's sick about
hearing Russell's story of losing her virginity in the press, a statement
we'd wholeheartedly agree with!
You probably can also add
actress Ingrid Quinn to that list, who's marriage to David Boreanaz was
supposedly terminated due in large part to a reported affair he had with
his then Buffy co-star (he played Angel, recently spun off). It also has
been widely reported that Gellar has had an on and off battle with
anorexia, and with a 5'3 frame at a reported 98 pounds, its easy to understand
why those rumors persist. Besides her romantic ties to Mathew Perry and
Boreanaz, Gellar has also been linked to ex-Slider star Jerry O'Connell
and has dated tennis player Jan Michael Gambill. The latest man involved
with Sarah is Freddie Prinze Jr., who publically was slobbering all over
Prinze at the MTV Movie awards, where Sarah landed two awards for Best
Kiss (with Selma Blair) and Best Female Performance in the film Cruel
Intentions. There have been alot of stories of Sarah's controlling
behavior around Freddie that has resulted in concerns amongst his friends
(according to tabloids, anyways). But before we get too rough on Sarah,
it should be noted that she is not the wild party type and in fact spends
so much time working she hasn't had much time for relationships, often
working 15 hour days on the Buffy set. |

January 21, 2008 - Sarah
Michelle Gellar spoke with Radar magazine for their February 2008 issue,
where the actress talked about being a child star. "As a kid, performing
was my passion, but it wasn't at the forefront of my life," she said. "I
wasn't a child star, I was a working child actor. So I got more from seeing
other actors who had missed their childhoods." As for portraying a porn
star in her latest flick, she said, "With 'Southland Tales', playing a
porn star, being in an ensemble cast, all those things were experiences,
obviously, that I'd never had. Coming out in the wardrobe alone some days
was enough of a challenge just getting out of my trailer."
