| Buffy Summers/Sarah Michelle Gellar Bio |
Here's the history of Buffy and some info on Sarah. I'm really bad with words and things like that so this bio is courtesy of BuffyGuide.com
Big Huge Thanks to Them!!
Buffy Summers was born in January 1981 to Hank and Joyce Summers, making her twenty now. As a child, she went through a phase during which she idolized ice-skater Dorothy Hamill, and was close friends with her cousin Celia until she died. Buffy started her high school career at Hemery High in Los Angeles, where she was a popular cheerleader; in 1996 she was elected Prom Princess and Fiesta Queen.
That same year, Buffy was contacted by a man named Merrick, who told her that she was the Chosen One, the Vampire Slayer. Though Buffy was skeptical, it was true; Merrick was her Watcher. But Merrick was killed, and in Buffy's attempts at slaying, she managed to burn down her high school gym. Around that time, Joyce and Hank finalized their divorce, and Buffy moved with Joyce to 1630 Revello Drive in Sunnydale.
She enrolled at Sunnydale High School, where the school librarian, Giles, informed her that he was her new Watcher. Though reluctant, Buffy was sucked full force into the life of a Slayer. Buffy became friends with Willow Rosenberg, Xander Harris, and to some extent, Cordelia Chase; and later with Willow's boyfriend Oz, all of whom know that she is the Slayer (as does her mother, finally) and often help in her endeavors. Buffy developed a relationship with Angel, a vampire cursed with a soul; it ended when he he lost his soul, turning him back into his evil vampiric self, but they got back together after his soul was restored again. Ultimately, Angel eventually realized that as Buffy got older, their relationship would be doomed, and he left her, for her own good.
During her freshman year at UC Sunnydale, Buffy roomed with Willow and developed a relationship with Riley Finn. After about a year together, Riley left Buffy and Sunnydale, feeling that Buffy didn't need nor love him. During her sophomore year at college, Buffy survived several family crises — first she discovered that her 14 year-old sister (introduced in Season 5) isn't actually her sister, but is a mystical "Key" just recently turned into human form and placed into Buffy's life (false memories included) so that Buffy could protect her. Then her mother had a brain tumor removed, only to later die from an aneurysm arising as a side effect from her surgery. In the final fight against Glory, a hellgod seeking to use the Key, Buffy sacrificed her life to save Dawn's and the world. Buffy was brought back to life with a spell done by Willow. She was depressed and miserable because before she was brought back she was in heaven. She was torn out of it by her friends. She got involved with a vampire named Spike but left him because she knew he was wrong for her.
Sarah Michelle Gellar, 24, is one of the most popular young actresses today, and has worked hard to get there. Sarah has been a workaholic for years, and still describes herself as such. She was discovered by an agent at the age of four, and soon after began work on her first job, the TV movie, An Invasion of Privacy. Sarah appeared in numerous commercials, including one with Seth Green when they were around five years old.
Over the next few years, she obtained small roles in movies and television (while attending The Professional Children's School), but her first big break came in 1993 when she won the role of Kendall Hart, Susan Lucci's daughter (which Julie Benz, who played Darla on BtVS, also auditioned for the role of Buffy) on All My Children. She played the villainess for two and a half years, winning a daytime Emmy in 1995 and announcing her departure the day after the awards ceremony (though she had given notice six months prior).
Sarah's next big break came when she auditioned for the role of Cordelia on BtVS, but instead was chosen to play Buffy herself. And the rest, as they say, is history. Sarah has blossomed on Buffy, and the show got her the attention she needed to start getting bigger movie roles. Sarah's talents include Tae Kwon Do, kickboxing, and ice-skating (she competed when she was younger). Sarah was estranged from her father for many years (he died of an apparent suicide in October 2001) is very close to her mother
