To Die For
Sarah Michelle Gellar is sure she's the luckiest girl on the planet. "I've been so blessed," she says. "I should pinch myself." Her success she says, "is something I've worked my whole life for."
And her blessings have been well worth the wait. With talent, intelligence, and 5 feet, 3 inches of delicate, green-eyed beauty, Sarah has developed a stronghold on the entertainment world. She is a goddess of both the small and the big screen and has the humility to be grateful for her opportunities. But what really makes Sarah a screaming success is pure, self-motivated, driven hard work. You don't keep the world safe from vampires all television season long and then thrill big-screen audiences half to death in two movies over your summer vacation unless you can work like, well, a demon.
As the pretty, petite Slayer with the high kick and perfect aim on the WB network's series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Sarah sometimes shoots until two in the morning and is back on the set at five.

Then, the day after her Summer was over, she went to Atlanta and began shooting Scream 2. "I didn't sleep at home for even one night during the Buffy hiatus," Sarah says.
Not that she'd want it any other way. She's having the time of her life. She has fashioned Buffy not as the campy, cartoonish character from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie but as a complex young woman who's become a real role model. Buffy is strong, powerful, and very much her own person but at the same time vulnerable and human -- kind of like Sarah herself. Her movie roles have presented challenging opportunities, too, affording the chance "to do drama, to do horror, to do actio
