Welcome to The Sarah Michelle Gellar
Picture Pages!Sarah Michelle
Gellar 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 the vast majority of her 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.
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. Fox has recently picked up the 6th season of
the popular TV series.
In June of 1997, Sarah finished
shooting I Know What You Did Last Summer. 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 its first
weekend than the other top 9 films combined. Next, Sarah
took a break from the horror genre to film Cruel
Intentions and Simply Irresistible.
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.
