------------------- Sarah Michelle Gellar/Buffy
Anne Summers -------------------
 Sarah Michelle Gellar
Sarah began her acting career at age 4 when she was discovered by an agent while eating in a local restaurant. Three weeks later she was on the set of her first film, An Invasion of Privacy. This chance discovery was to later boost her professional career which has lasted 18 of her 21 years of life. In addition to having been one of the two regular hostesses of the TV talk show, "Girl Talk," Sarah is a veteran of TV, film, and stage. She has appeared with Matthew Broderick and Eric Stoltz in The Widow Claire at the Circle in the Square, and had a feature film open in which she co-starred with Sally Kirkland and Robert
Lupone. She has appeared on Spenser: For Hire, Love, Sidney, The David Letterman Show and The Regis Philbin Show. She has done over 100 commercials and is a Wilhelmina Model. She has also appeared in Crossbow which she filmed in France and Switzerland. Sarah played Molly in the original cast of Neil Simon's Jake's Women and young Jacqueline Bouvier in the award winning NBC mini-series A Woman Named Jackie. Sarah started to gain a small, but loyal, fanbase when she played the lead role of Sydney Rutledge in the teen soap opera, Swan's Crossing.
On February 24th 1993, Sarah Michelle began work on the set of All My Children. She was nominated for a Daytime Emmy in 1994 and, although she lost, she was nominated again in 1995 and won in the Younger Leading Actress category. Although she had given the producers 6 months notice of her decision to leave the show, she made her decision public the day after the Emmy win. After 2 ½ years, Sarah left the set of AMC and moved to California to seek new fame in films or TV.
In 1996, Sarah was picked as the lead of a new series called Buffy the Vampire Slayer based on the movie by the same name. Warner Brothers bought 13 episodes of the show, and although ratings of the pilot were the highest ever of any of the WB lineup, it ranked 100th out of 107 programs in the Nielson ratings. Warner Brothers renewed the show for another 22 episodes which will begin airing September 15th.
In June of 1997, Sarah finished shooting I Know What You Did Last Summer which stars her and Jenniffer Love Hewitt as teens that try to cover up a hit and run. It was released on October 17th and became number one that weekend, earning a profit in just two days. Shortly after filming
IKWYDLS, Sarah flew down to Atlanta, GA to film Scream 2, which had the largest December opening of a film and made more money in it's first weekend than the other top 9 films combined.
Sarah next took a break from the horror genre to film Cruel Intentions and Simply Irresistible
On March 10, 1998, Sarah won a Blockbuster Entertainment Award in the Best Supporting Actress - Horror category for her role in I Know What You Did Last Summer.
On August 12th, 1999, Sarah signed a contract with Maybelline to become the first celebrity spokeswoman since Linda Carter in the late 70's, and can be seen in television and print advertising for the makeup company.
The new millennium has been very favorable to Sarah so far. In 2000, she won a few awards given out by the Teen Choice Awards and the MTV Movie awards.
2001 proved to be a great year for her personal and professional lives. First, she earned a nomination in the Best Performance by an Actress in a TV-Series - Drama category in the Golden Globe Awards. Then she became engaged to Freddie Prinze Jr. on her birthday in April. The Teen Choice Awards also honored Sarah that summer with an Extraordinary Achievement Award.
In 2002, Scooby Doo, the movie Sarah co-starred in with Freddie, Matt Lillard and Linda
Cardellini, became a summer blockbuster earning a whopping $250 million worldwide. In June she co-hosted the MTV Movie Awards, which became the highest rated in the show's history. This year also marked the most memorable occasion in her personal life. On September 1, 2002, Sarah and Freddie exchanged their marriage vows in a private ceremony in Mexico. In October, Sarah was honored with a Woman of The Year Award by Glamour Magazine during their Annual Women of The Year Awards. |

 Buffy Anne Summers
Buffy was born in 1981, her mother and father were Joyce and
Hank Summers. The two divorced while Buffy was in her teens and Joyce
& Buffy moved to Sunnydale from Los Angeles. While in Los Angeles
she went to Hemery High where she was Prom Princess and won every award
based on popularity and beauty imaginable. But once her calling as a
slayer was called upon she hid away and was never as popular as other
girls at Sunnydale High. When Buffy arrived she befriended Xander Harris
and Willow Rosenberg, even though Cordelia warned her not to. At
Sunnydale High she also met her new Watcher, Rupert Giles who was the
school librarian. At first she didn't want to still be the slayer, but
she eventually saw that she had to be the slayer.
Also in Sunnydale she met vampire, Angel and fell deeply in love with
him. Things got "physical" and Angel lost his soul forcing
Buffy to kill him which she did and fled to LA to runaway from her
problems and what was left of her life in Sunnydale. She came back to
Sunnydale soon and graduated from Sunnydale High & went onto UC
Sunnydale. Her she met the next love of her life Riley Finn but that too
ended badly and Riley fled town. She also gained a new sister, Dawn, a
mystical key which was sent to Buffy to protect. She did that, she
protected her to her death. She was resurrected by Willow a few months
down the line, but the others didn't know she'd been in heaven and not
hell as they had thought so Buffy wasn't too happy about being
back.
But being back meant that she had to get her life back and so got a job
working at the local fast food joint, Doublemeat Palace. When the new
Sunnydale High School opened she was offered a job to work as the new councilor
there which she also took. Working at Sunnydale High gave her the chance
to meet the new Principal - Robin M Wood. He seemed to like her, they
went out on a date. But it was also the fact that he knew she was the
slayer as his mother was on before her. Taking time off her counseling
job to prepare for the upcoming battle wasn't easy. With Faith returning
to Sunnydale and the potential slayers preferring her Buffy was swiftly
kicked out of her home. Out of her home and down & out, Spike gave
her the pep talk she needed. She began her rise to the top again. Led
the potentials into battle and won, with Spike's help. Now she's not the
only chosen one, she's one among many, ready to lead a normal life. Also
it's now known that she was last known to be somewhere in Europe. |
