Actress. Born Sarah Anne Michelle Gellar on April 14, 1977 in New York City. Gellar attended the Professional Children's School in New York City where high school classmates included actors Tara Reid, Jerry O'Connell and Macaulay Culkin. She was a competitive figure skater for three years and was ranked 3rd in New York Sate's regional competition.
In 1983, Gellar made her first TV movie, An Invasion of Privacy. The movie was followed by small TV roles and commercials, as well as theater, including The Widow Claire with Matthew Broderick and Eric Stoltz. Her breakthrough role came in 1992 as Sydney Rutledge in the teen soap opera Swans Crossing. In 1993, Gellar began work on the set of All My Children, earning an Emmy in 1995 in the Younger Leading Actress category. During 1997, she appeared on the big screen in two films, I Know What You Did Last Summer and Scream 2.
Suburban Girl and The Air I Breathe were screened at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival. Suburban Girl did not receive a theatrical release and was released on DVD in early 2008. It was described as "a blend of Sex and the City and The Devil Wears Prada" and a "pseudo-sophisticated romantic comedy" according to Variety.com. Her on screen chemistry with Alec Baldwin was either criticized or praised, with Eye For Film commenting, "The film works best when Baldwin and Gellar are together – aside from the fact that Gellar seriously needs to eat a bun or two". Film website moviepictirefilm.com stated "Gellar and Baldwin both give wonderful performances and make their chemistry incredibly real and ultimately, quite heartbreaking. Containing a ton of laughs and killer fashion that could give "The Devil Wears Prada" a run for its money, this movie has something uncommon in most romantic comedies, tons of style and a huge heart."
