MOST TALENTED AND LUCKIEST CELEBRITIES
SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR
BIOGRAPHY
SYNOPSIS: Don’t
let the ‘overnight’ success of Sarah Michelle Gellar’s career fool you: this
babe has been kicking show business butt since she was about four years old.
Discovered by an agent in a restaurant with her mom, Gellar started down the
road to stardom by playing Valerie Harper’s daughter in An Invasion of Privacy
(1983). Within a short time, she had more than 100 commercial credits, including
some for the Burger King chain, and parts in popular shows like Spenser: For
Hire. Her first really substantial role was a young Jaqueline Bouvier (Kennedy-Onassis)
in an NBC miniseries (1991); not long after that, she joined the cast of All My
Children as a seriously evil dudette in the daytime soap. As Erica Kane’s long
lost daughter, she faked a pregnancy, shot someone, broke up Kane’s and
attempted suicide – and won an Emmy for all that hard work. Of course we all
know and love her as Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1996), the cult-hit TV series
based on the 1992 movie (Kirsty Swanson, Luke Perry). A typical teen suffering
through the perils of high school by day, she spends her evenings slicing and
dicing the town’s never ending stream of supernatural baddies. She’s parlayed
her TV success into a string of hit movie roles, including I Know What You Did
Last Summer, Scream 2, and more recently, Cruel Intentions.
