Sarah Michelle Gellar, 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, 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) on "All My Children." She played the villianess 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. She is not currently working on any movies, having chosen instead to finally take a little time off before heading back to work on "Buffy." Sarah's talents include Tae Kwon Do (she is a brown belt), kickboxing, and ice-skating (she competed when she was younger).
