Sarah Michelle Gellar A.k.a Buffy Summers. However, Sarah Michelle Gellar is too talented an actress to be forever typecast in this iconic role, as anyone who's seen her perform elsewhere can testify. Interestingly enough, Gellar's first big break came in 1992 when she starred in the serial "Swans Crossing" and later on in the soap opera "All My Children", winning a daytime Emmy award for Outstanding Younger Actress in a dramatic series.It was in 1997 that Michelle Gellar won the role of Buffy Summers. Oddly enough, she had come in to audition for a supporting role in its pilot, but ended up playing the lead and to great effect as the series would spawn seven seasons including the spin-off "Angel" and would confirm Gellar as a star and her character as a symbol of female empowerment. Amidst her run on the series and more so after it ended, Michelle Gellar has given acclaimed performances in numerous pictures, most notable of these are "Cruel Intentions", The "Scooby-Doo" Movies,"I know what you did last summer", "The Grudge", "The Return", and "Simply Irresistible". She has also leant her voice to the family friendlies "TMNT" and "Small Soldiers". She was counted as one of People Magazine's 50 Most beautiful People in the world and has been a regular on the FHM and MAXIM lists in the past couple of years. Michelle Geller is married to her "I know what you did last summer" co-star Freddie Prinze Jr. Up next for the stunning actress is Richard Kelly's "Southland Tales" and "Alice".
