More about Sarah... Sarah began acting at age 4 when she was discovered by an agent while eating in a local restaurant. Three weeks after this she was on the set of "An Invasion of Privacy." This chance discovery was to later boost her professional career which has lasted 17 of her 20 years of life. In February of 1993 Sarah Michelle began work on the soap opera "All My Children" as Kendell Hart. 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 years, Sarah left the set of AMC and moved to California to continue her career on television or in the movies. 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 aired in the Fall of 1997 through the Spring of 1998. In June of 1997, Sarah finished shooting I Know What You Did Last Summer, which stars herself and Jennifer Love Hewitt as teens that try to cover up a hit and run accident. It was released on October 17th, 1998 and became number one that weekend, earning a profit in just two days. Shortly after filming I Know What You Did Last Summer, Sarah flew down to Atlanta, GA to film Scream 2, which had the largest December opening in history and made more money in it's first weekend than the other top 9 films combined. Sarah has also filmed Cruel Intentions and follows Simply Irresistable. 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.
