Emmy Award-winning actress Sarah Michelle Gellar is a veteran of television, theatre and the big screen, having worked for nearly 17 of her young 22 years. In addition to starring in The WB's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," she was in box office smash films like "Scream 2," the sequel to last year's blockbuster hit, and "I Know What You Did Last Summer" co-starring Jenifer Love Hewitt ("Party Of Five"). She recently starred in two other movies "Simply Irrestistable" and "Cruel Intentions".
Starring in the title role of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," Sarah plays a somewhat reluctant hero who fights off vampires at night while juggling the traumas of high school during the day. Fighting evil creatures requires adeptness in the martial arts, a challenge which she has been devoted to since before landing the role. Having studied the Korean art of Tae kwon Do for four years and earning a brown belt, Sarah spends her free time both on and off the set continuing her training with the series stunt coordinator.
No stranger to television, the versatile actress won an Emmy Award in 1994 for her memorable role as Kendall Hart, the devious secret daughter of Erica Kane (Susan Lucci), on the daytime drama "All My Children." She played a younger Jackie Kennedy in the critically acclaimed mini-series "A Woman Named Jackie," and starred with Valerie Harper and Jeff Daniels in the television movie "An Invasion of Privacy." She was also a regular on the Syndicated show "Girl Talk." You may remember Sarah playing Sydney Rutledge on the short-lived teen soap opera "Swans Crossing".
Sarah's feature film credits include the Warner Bros. movie "Funny Farm," "Over the Brooklyn Bridge" and "High Stakes." She also performed in New York stage productions of "The Widow Claire" opposite Matthew Broderick at Circle in the Square, and "Jake's Women" at the Old Globe Theatre.
