Sarah Michelle Prinze (née Gellar; born April 14, 1977) is an American actress and producer. After being found by an agent in a local restaurant in New York City, she had a role in the made-for-TV movie An Invasion of Privacy and went on to appear in shows like Spenser: For Hire and Crossbow. Gellar had her first lead part in 1992's mini-series Swans Crossing and then, she originated the role of Kendall Hart on the ABC daytime soap opera All My Children, winning the 1995 Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Actress in a Drama Series.
Gellar came to prominence in the late 1990s when she landed significant parts in 1997's successful horror films I Know What You Did Last Summer and Scream 2 and the role of Buffy Summers on the WB/UPN TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer (that lasted until 2003), for which she won six Teen Choice Awards and the Saturn Award for Best Genre TV Actress and received a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Actress – Television Series Drama. She also gained recognition for her performances in movies such as Cruel Intentions (1999) and Scooby-Doo (2002).
After Buffy terminated its run, Gellar continued to find commercial success with the films Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004), The Grudge (2004) and its sequel, The Grudge 2 (2006). However, around that time, she started making appearances in several direct-to-video and limited released motion pictures like Southland Tales (2007), The Air I Breathe (2008) and Veronika Decides to Die (2009). She had the main role in the television series Ringer, from 2011 to 2012. She will star in CBS's sitcom The Crazy Ones with Robin Williams.
