Sarah Michelle Gellar
Biography
| 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.
