sarah gellar
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.
