WTF Happened to SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR?

- Sarah Michelle Gellar was one of the biggest teen stars of the nineties. Fuelled by her star-making role as the lead on Joss Whedon’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer, she won massive acclaim for her badass, emotional turn as the titular slayer. She parlayed her success into a burgeoning film career, starring in a pair of late nineties teen classics, I Know What You Did Last Summer and Cruel Intentions. The latter was a controversial part that could have backfired but instead was a major hit that further propelled her to the top of the A-list.
She started the 2000’s starring in the big-screen version of Scooby-Doo as Daphne, which was a big enough hit to spawn a sequel, Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed. Around this time, Buffy the Vampire Slayer ended its run, and Gellar opted to stretch, taking a role in Richard Kelly’s much-maligned Southland Tales, which has since become a cult classic. Eventually, she would return to TV on the series Ringer, followed by a co-star role in The Crazy Ones, which would ultimately prove one of the last projects for co-star Robin Williams and seemed to be a troubled production.
In recent years, Gellar, who seems to have one of Hollywood’s most successful marriages with former co-star Freddie Prinze Jr, has slowed down, opting to focus on voice acting (similar to her husband), voicing parts on Star Wars: Rebels, Robot Chicken, and the recent Masters of the Universe: Revelation. She’s been missing from TV and films for some time, with her focusing on family, only re-emerging to weigh in on troubling stories from the set of Buffy the Vampire Slayer involving series mastermind Joss Whedon, which have reframed people’s view of what it must have been like working on that show for years. In this episode of WTF Happened to this Celebrity, we chart Gellar’s career and see where she is now while also hoping for a big comeback as Gellar truly is one of a kind.

"TV shows used to be fun." Such true words. I really enjoy that after all these years, Sarah still owns Buffy and will continue to reference the character.
I loved Buffy the Vampire Slayer! My sister's cat is named Drucilla.(Spike's vampire girlfriend).
plenty of fun on tv right now, maybe not cable, but who cares where it comes from
She always seemed to me like a very talented, down to earth actress. Never heard about any scandals or anything alike involving her, and always delivered great acting. Hopefully she's happy with all she's achieved in her career, because in my book she's legendary and unforgettable.
Check again cause I've heard she was a real b**ch on the set of buffy sometimes.although I really hope that isn't true cause I'm a big fan of hers
@@runningbear6391 that doesn't hold water cause all those scandals came out about Joss whedon and their all from the 90s,but in fairness he is also a man so people care alot more when a man does something wrong
@@runningbear6391 Didn't need social media..Everything was all over the tabloids back then
Joss scared her . He is actually a bully
@@runningbear6391 why'd you just make shit up lol
I love how Sarah and Freddy met on the set of "I Know What you did last Summer", and are still going strong to this very day.
I wonder if they know what they did last summer
lol
@@katalysis Of course, they still know what they did last summer, and if you keep asking the answer will be that they always know what they did last summer.
A similar thing happened between Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas on the set of "Once Upon a Time"😀.
she was hot stuff in that film.lol.......
She seems to be working pretty much nonstop from her childhood into her adulthood. I remember watching a Freddie Prince Jr. interview that he didn't really have the passion for acting. For him it was just a way to make a living and support his mother. Since his actor father passed away when he was young, so he became actor to earn a living. He didn't want to do the rat race that seems to be the requirement for going up the food chain in Hollywood. Now both of them scale down their works and enjoy their family lives. Which is good for all of them.
very respectful people for not being allured into to hollywood limelight, almost like the anti-couple in contrast to the Depp/ Heard debacle
Yes its a great legacy and I wish Freddie the best for life after Hollywood.
Prinz never wanted to act originally??? Holy cow, that explains his career...like...a lot. Kudos to him for having a goal and seeing it through though.
Freddie also understood that Hollywood was fickle and he needed a backup career so he pursued a culinary degree and is technically a chef
@@hinatamercury He also said in that interview that he was writing for WWE and enjoyed it very much.
I think if Buffy aired now, Sarah might have been nominated for a Best Actress Emmy (as well as a Best Supporting Actress nod for Alyson Hannigan). There were some very powerful moments throughout Buffy's run. But sadly, back then it was very rare for horror, sci-fi or fantasy to be nominated for Emmys.
Absolutely! She should have won for Buffy. 👏
And she deserved to win that Golden Globe she was nominated for.
it's one of my all time favorite shows and she kicked ass in her part
It's unacceptable that she wasn't nominated for The Body.
@@GuntherL1 - Absolutely!
100%!!!!!@
Her character in Cruel Intentions will always be my favorite role of hers. She was awesome.
Her character, Kathryn, was like an evil brown-haired Buffy😁😆.
iT WAS THE 'KISS' with that chick...The one that had the brown eyes.....kissable lips....
My number one favorite role of hers!
It’s a great role and close second to Buffy for me
What impressed me most was how the narrator absolutely slaughtered "Les Liaisons Dangereuses."
She is known to be a workaholic, she’s living her life now, she could be on tv or the big screen if she wanted, she running her baking company and raising her kids
My love for this woman will NEVER die. Buffy was such a massive part of my childhood and I still rewatch it every year. Her acting was always on point and her personality was also fabulous.
Her films were always enjoyable to me, being a huge horror fan, I adore IKWYDLS and Scream. The Grudge terrified my 10 year old self and Cruel Intensions goes without saying, she ate that role UP! That Ringer programme I also remember being decent and I still to this day defend her as you can’t save a soso script, if it wasn’t for her that show wouldn’t have got passed 3 episodes!
She keeps a low-key life now and I love that for and Freddie and I find it so amazingly lovely that she is still best friends with Selma Blair, supporting her throughout all her hardships with MS.
Sarah Michelle Gellar will remain an absolute legend and one of the best people that have ever graced Hollywood ❤️
If the demons of the Buffyverse are demon human hybrids, would mentioning one of these creatures be something or someone to any demon of the Buffyverse?
She’s Buffy. As far as I’m concerned she’s been to the top of the TV mountain. If girls today are looking for a “strong female role model”. They need look no further than SMG.
I love how she’s still married to Freddie. I know he was an icon in the 90’s, when I was a kid, as she was too. I’m honestly happy they’re thriving and living their lives.
They honestly feel like a fan ship come true.
Cruel Intentions is my guilty pleasure movie. Sarah Michelle Gellar as a villain in that is pure perfection!
The dream step sister lol
Nobody cares what critics think, except the critics themselves.
SMG was awesome in Buffy, Scooby-Doo, Scream 2, and more.
She was Buffy and just for that I will always bevthankful to her. I couldn't care less what critics said about Cruel Intentions, the movie as well as the soundtrack are classics plus SMG is a true friend to Selma Blair and is still by her side now that things are tough for Blair. The fact that she is is able to keep her private life private and her marriage intact is really amazing on all levels. BTW Veronica Decides To Die is another SMG movie that is really good and totally under- appreciated.
I agree with you. I watched it for the first time recently. It's not a mainstream film, and an unusual title, so it got missed by many. Myself included. But it is an amazing film
Wait is Veronica decides to die based on Paulo Coelho's book ?
cruel intentions is AMAZING, sure one my all time favs movies.
She was an extremely talented, multifaceted actor with athleticism, dramatic and comedic chops. I’ll never understand negativity over The Grudge- yes, the original Ju-on was superior, but The Grudge (and The Ring, since we’re here) were outstanding at using all the right techniques of the originals. I’ve been a horror movie fan for almost 40 years and The Grudge is easily in my top 5 scariest American horror movies. I’m glad she’s been able to keep her private life with her family private. As you said, she’s doing just fine, and I think she and her family have more than earned it. Great body of work!
No she wasn't. She was one note like Jessica Biel propelled to stardom by starring in 1 successful show and people believing she could move beyond that but clearly she wasn't talented.
@@VanRocCarMor One note? Tell me you've never watched Buffy without telling me you've never watched Buffy. Or any of her work, for that matter.
I was so obsessed with buffy as a kid ❤ . I recently rewatched the entire show for the first time as an adult, and it's still so good and relevant to today. That show was definitely ahead of it's time.
Buffy was so progressive and ahead of its time. The cast was perfection.
No it wasnt - it was right on time.
Joss whedon was the Perfection.
Nothing happened to her. She's as beautiful, talented, fabulous and blessed as she's ever been.
🤢 🤮
Buffy was literally everything! Sarah was and still is one of my fav actresses. We also share the same birthday
Buffy the Vampire Slayer will always be a classic for me. I miss it. Would have loved to see more of her.
I love Sarah Michelle Gellar. She was great as Buffy, the Scooby-Doo movies, and Cruel Intentions. I like how she's frequently in episodes of Robot Chicken, including scenes with the entire Scooby-Doo cast.
It is when they are mocking Scooby or Buffy that it really flies.
If you knew what "Robot Chicken" means, you wouldn't watch that show.
@@DatJNP Well, are you going to elaborate?...
@@alanhilder1883 The word "chicken" has a different meaning amongst the pedro files. Considering the proclivities of the shows creators....the answer becomes clear.
SMG is a legend. An underrated yet actually spectacular actress and, from what can be gathered parasocially, seems to be a very decent human being.
She's my favorite actor. Funny, creative, spunky, strikingly beautiful and with incredible dramatic range. She is due for a real comeback. ❤️
"Cruel Intentions" may be one of the most cheesy but fun sexy thriller of the late 90s alongside Wild Things. They arent great movies but they have their fun charm and Sarah was really hot
Much agree; back when the movies were still shot on film (now everything shot digitally and it doesn't have that film look anymore) and CGI wasn't everywhere. Love cheesy 90s movies
It's been a while since I've seen it, but I remember it being pretty well written an acted, not sure how "cheesy" applies.
Sir carol Reed write no parking 1938 with Charles Carson Gordon harker Fred groves Cyril smith George Hayes Leslie perrins
@@nicolamcguinness8689 Sir Carol Reed Directed his Nephew Oliver Reed in "Oliver!" in 1968
@@wiseauserious8750 Watch "Collateral" with Tom Cruise and Jamie Fox. That is a movie from 2004 and shows that digital can look amazing when done properly.
HUGE Buffy fan here, and fan of Miss Gellar. I even liked Simply Irresistable. I wish her and her family long life and great happiness for all the hours I spent binge watching Buffy!
For my generation she will ALWAYS be Buffy... For my kids, Daphne..... But I'm glad she's happily married and all is well. Seems like a nice human.
Well said... im glad they are avoiding the crazy Hollywood life. Just be a family.
Buffy and Scooby Doo were made within the same generation..
@@ARC117Studios clever... But if you read it again...I didn't actually say "for my kids generation" did I?.
Good going.....
NICE retro view. I was on crew with camera and lighting for the pilot, the first season and half of the second season before returning to MY family life (worked 80-hour production weeks and all-nighters at the cemetery on Fridays). She was a pro, talented and all class, all the way. More than fortunate to have been in her orbit.
Not gonna lie I think he gave a GREAT performance in "I know what you did last summer", I think her death was really infuriating and she was more interesting than Jennifer Love Hewitt....also can you do wtf happened to her?
Sir carol Reed directed climbing high 1938 with Alastair Sim sir Michael Redgrave
JLH was cute but always come off as "prissy" ( to exaggeration that description, think dressing and acting like a religious extremist, fully covered, shocked by anything slightly naughty. I would underline exaggeration )
SMG really was the highlight of the film. Her character had a lot more depth. Hewitt did better in the sequel.
She was the title actor in a iconic tv show. She's had a happy marriage with kids with no scandal. She's in the upper .00001% of all Hollywood celebs in terms of success.
No scandals that have been made public. If you think Sarah is a celebrity exception you are mistaken. They all have dark secrets, some are better at hiding them than others.
She is good in every role I saw her. Might not be the greatest actress ever, but never disappoints.
WTF Happened to her? The same I always write here about good actresses cast away from the media... SHE GOT OLD and most of the time it's a death sentence in showbiz. That's the cruel reality, we consume the image of the "New and Shiny" and opportunities start to get rare to actors who don't fill the impossible standards imposed by the consumers/media.
Hope she's happy (personal experience, I can assure parenthood is very fulfilling and rewarding). Sarah and Freddie are very cute together, wish the best to their family!
Yes, whats the big deal... you dont have to be a camera magnet to be a success. Her and Freddie are just living the family life as one should when your post Hollywood. However Id love them to reprise their roles in the Star Wars universe.
Have you seen what they did to her face in Wolf Pack? Holy filters, Batman. Nothing wrong with getting old, I wish celeb land would stop supporting cosmetics companies and plastic surgeons with the blatant ageism.
@@mydogeatspukeshe looks gorgeous
@@blooxylips she looks like she's made of plastic. She may be gorgeous but the filter they've applied over her skin (and other women on the show) is vile and makes her look like a blow up doll.
Buffy was one of the best shows on tv.
She is out there improving the world and living a actual family life
With good causes and values
Love her
I LOVE Sarah. I love everything she’s in specially Buffy. I really hope we get to see her in more stuff.
She’s an icon both on and off screen 💜
i love that she played a lot of multidimensional characters, like how she portrayed daphne being sweet and girly and at the same time she had the hability to portray her also as a badass with fighting skills that doesn't want to be the pretty face of the group. i think a lot of actors lack the hability to portray different sides in a same character.
Sarah michelle gellar is the greatest. Buffy my favourite show of all time. ❤❤❤
This was really sweet... It made me feel some nostalgia. I was born in '84, so she was a big part of my life. I'm glad to hear she, and Freddy are still going strong
Shes going pretty good w/ Freddie... esp their collaboration on The Clone Wars where he was a Jedi and she an evil Inquisitor. You dont have to always be a camera magnet to be considered a success. These two are perfect and found a balance.
I honestly love your "We have to start at the beginning" segway - makes me smile every time.
hahaha thanks! Its fun to say
Jennifer Love Hewitt went and got extremely rich from The Ghost Whisperer
Back in the day shows used to be SO much more riveting and exciting. I remember watching Buffy as an 11th grader back in the day, and absolutely loving it. I enjoyed her other roles and even her little cameo on She's All That but to me she was always Buffy.
Cruel intentions was Sarah's best movie. She plays a villain so well, and I can recite that whole movie by heart lol. Love SMG so much!
She was banned by McDonald's? That's a rather dumb move, isn't it? 1, she's a very young kid. 2, she's an actress playing a role. 3, wouldn't it have been good PR for McDonald's if she was caught in McDonald's, eating their food?
It would have made sense if her Burger King contract stipulated that she couldn't be seen in a McDonald's, at least for a while (like 1 year, or for 1 year after the commercial run).
Meh, the burgers are better at HJ
Very good points! It would be great PR to have a rival spokesperson eating at MacDonalds. The banning seems like a silly, juvenile thing.
I have always been team Gellar...b/c I first known her from All My Children(given she was only a year older than me)...was shocked when she was cast as Buffy and she knocked it out of the park. I hope to see her return.
As much as I am happy to see her having a wonderful work/life balance, I am disappointed we didn't get to see the full extent of her skills because she really seemed like such a talented actress and I wish she'd had a better agent or something because she killed in edgy roles like Buffy and Cruel Intentions.
Always bumms me out to hear that Joss might be a piece of garbage. I think his writing talent and crew deserve better with how their looked at. I love them all Marti Noxin, Jane Espensen , David furry etc. Now theirs a bit of taint on them because of Whedon… sadly.
Sarah Michelle Gellar & Selma Blair kiss in "Cruel Intentions" was absolutely Faptastic during my teenage years!
Sir carol Reed directed our man in Havana 1959 with Ernie kovacs Burl Ives sir Ralph Richardson sir Noel coward sir Alec Guinness ferdy mayne Duncan macrae Raymond Huntley Gregorie Aslan Maurice denham
I saw that movie in theaters and my friends and I were blown away by that kiss.
I would love to see a WTF Happened to Eliza Dushku!
Yeah she wasnt even on the reunion
This and the Seann William Scott, video are what this series should be doing.
I was worried you were about to do Tom Cruise next.
Good stuff.
Tom Cruise--- He was born, did a couple of good movies, joined a cult, believed his own press, go big headed, did many big movies that got worse and worse, got married -> divorced -- twice, cult still protected him. Only recently lost some of the big headedness for some ok movies with the occasional head swell. ( Do any of his kids have anything to do with him? )
Exactly bro they did a video for Adam Sandler & Colin farrell, but they were so unnecessary because they are still more famous now than ever
With her talent she should be top of the A list. This programme asks more questions than it answers. I will always love her and the great team that created Buffy.
I know she’s done Buffy, but I will always see her as Daphne from the Scooby Doo movies
Sir carol Reed directed The third man 1949 starring Orson Welles Joseph Cotten Trevor Howard Bernard Lee
You must be no older than 15 lmao 🤣 😂 😆 😅
@@two_thongs_dont_make_a_kite not to make you feel old, but people who grew up with that Scooby Doo movie being their formative Sarah Michelle Gellar experience are in their late 20s now hahahaha. Time is moving too fast!
same. despite loving buffy summers more, daphne blake WAS my childhood and my first introduction to SMG. i only slightly remember watching the scooby doo live action when i was maybe 10 and loving her character. my mind will usually go towards daphne when it comes to sarah.
Love the series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"! I was just in junior high then, miss those good old days.
She seems happy in her domestic bliss now. I think her career was coming to it's end, but it looks like she stepped away without a fight for the most part. Kudos to her 👍
Buffy was one of my favorite shows. Even my wife loves it. I miss the 90s, when things were normal.
Buffy was awesome! I was born in 84, and it was the second show I ever remember being religious about having to watch each episode (Monster Madness on TNT was my first) and telling people, especially my older sister, not to talk about it until I could watch it! I remember rushing home after practice or a sports game and praying that there were no mess ups with the VCR recording the show!!
Everybody remember her from Scooby Doo or Buffy the Vampire but she did many more stuff guys, thanks for this video Joblo, they are always well edited and narrated
Sir carol Reed directed the young mr pitt 1942 with Robert Morley and sir John Mills
Sarah was always my favourite actress 😻. She’s still beautiful till this day ❤️. Crazy how you got all these information from her awesome work 👏🔥🔥
This is my favorite segment on JoBlo. Thank you and keep up the good work.
That was epic man!! Informative and very entertaining!! Made my afternoon 🤯😎😁👌😮
"We must begin at the beginning, and the beginning began..." This gets me all the time:) Love your channel guys!
It is refreshing to know Ms Geller has done so well in three careers. Actress, Wife, and Mother. Perhaps Mickey D's could remove the ban, following modern trends. I wish the lady and her family the very best in her well earned privacy. God bless and protect them all.
I was obsessed with this show, 😅🤣😂 same goes for Angel and Charmed! The good
old days. lol
"The grudge" from 2004 qas actually a scary movie and she was great
Sir carol Reed directed it happened in Paris 1935 with John loder esme Percy Roy emerton bill shine
I think this was the last thing I saw her in and I’m still traumatized by it 😅
My Most Favourite Episode Of WTF Happened To so Celebrity This Far!! Keep Making More I Love These And Your Voice Is Really Good...
Good stuff. I missed her Buffy days because it aired after I joined the military. I need to check out the series
I think her Buffy obligations really deterred her from being on track to A list jobs. She was offered a role on a Martin Scorsese flick with Leo DiCaprio, but had to turn it down due to filming conflicts with Buffy. That role went to Cameron Diaz. Had she taken that role it would have brought her to a new level of stardom and I feel like she would have gotten more Academy acknowledged roles. Buffy is kind of like a double edge sword for SMG; yes she achieved cult notoriety, but sacrificed a lot of mainstream bookings. In the end though she's happy with her hubby and kids and I follow her on insta and she's nothing but smiles and sunshine so maybe escaping the Hollywood ladder was a good thing 4 SMG.
I thought I had heard she chose to take an acting break because she had kids and wanted to be there to raise them more than it being a lack of acting work. I actually appreciate that she's decided to stay private and puts her family first.
My only immense disappointment with her was the ongoing talk for years (from her as well, not just fans) that she supposed to produce and star in a movie version of the Alice video game (the demented version of Alice in Wonderland). I think I heard she had even gone as far as buying the rights to the potential film or something like that but never did anything with it. That's the only thing I would have loved to have seen her actually follow through with. Otherwise, I wish her the best in whatever she decides to do in her life.
I will always remember her as the iconic "buffy the vampireslayer" and it makes me happy that she seems to live a happy familylife now a days.
TMNT isn’t an acronym. It’s initialization. Acronyms form words.
Very nice and well-researched content!
Great video
She was my favorite actress growing up. Buffy came out when I was 13 years old, so my impressionable young mind was highly influenced by her. I have clear memory of saving up my allowance and buying Maybelline's Full 'n Soft mascara (my first makeup purchase ever) because she was in a commercial for it. Iconic. 🤣
To me, she will always be Buffy, and she is part of my teen years, the good old, 90s to00s.
Great video about the world's greatest vampire slayer! Thanks!
I've been waaaaaaaiting for this!
She aged beautifully. Or maybe a plastic surgery success. In any case she still looks great now.
If she has had surgery or any types of touch-ups, it's very subtle. She looks 'real'. Thankfully she doesn't have that awful plasticky-tight look that some actors have.
I miss those years, I guess it is part of getting old, love you SMG, you gave me pretty nice memories, every day waiting to see Buffy at night and the next day discussing the chapter with the neighbors, no social networks to spoil the chapter.
Perfect casting as Buffy and so pretty ♥
I've always Loved her and it's amazing the two have stayed married for so long coming from Hollywood. They're lucky to have found each other. Cause it takes two to make it all work.... good video. Nice to see a good outcome.
Thank you!! As a Huge fan this was very nice!!!
I remember they showed bloopers & outtakes for The Crazy Ones at the end of each episode.
Probably the only thing I remember from that show at all was an outtake where Sarah had done some sort of crazy stunt, Robin yells, "Holy crap! Where'd you learn to do that?" & she just replies "Sunnydale." Lol
So Now we need a video for Alyson Hannigan!
Loved her cameo in Big Bang Theory
I love her story. I'm glad she's happy. And her relationship marriage with Freddie is a rarity. Many need to take note. That's what it's all about, love, commitment and companionship 👍. Money, looks and intelligence are all just perks and will only get you so far. Aim for love 🎉
They're such a beautiful couple and it's so refreshing to see it. I hope they're together forever
What is the name of that "oh oh oh oh oh, uh-oh!" song you play in the background of these videos? I can't get it out of my head.
The Buffy the Vampire Slayer games, both 1 & 2, were actually dope. Graphics, mechanics, and all-around gameplay were surprisingly good. I had them for the original Xbox.
And Sarah is a true friend her friendship with Selma is the sweetest thing ❤️ the way she’s always there for Selma is amazing
"...going strong. According to Instagram" hilarious 😂 😄
Banned from Macdonalds at the age of 4? Jesus.
The thought of binge-watching the whole BTVS with SMG is a dream come true!
Awesome 😎 thanks 🙏
I really love her and her relationship with Freddy it's totally relationship goals
man buffy will always be my favourit series ever! i was 11 years old when i watched the first ep in the bedroom of my grandparents on a staturday evening!
and thinking back on it i guess she was my first crush. i thought she was just the coolest hero ever. strong, funny and beautiful. those were the times!!
kinda lost me with season 4 because of the college thing. i could not relate anymore since i was in middelschool but i caught up eventually.
I love both Scream movies and I Know What You Did Last Summer movies. I remember watching her on All My Children. She is a wonderful actress. I loved Simply Irresistible and Scooby Doo movies. I was scared watching the Grudge. To this day, I still can’t watch the Grudge.
The grudge was terrifying
She seems like she was trying to keep being positive role model to kids when playing Buffy Summers for seven years and stuck with it. An awesome celebrity and actress!
She is what we love a real strong female 👍
Amazing Job !
She was my teenage crush and now is just pure crush still
Have you guys done gene hackman yet??cause that would be a good one
I was just thinking the same thing! I doubt many young people have heard of him. He was an A-lister for decades, and a truly great actor with fabulous range!
They already did an episode for Gene hackman. But come on he is 90 years old, not everybody is like Clint Eastwoood who still work
Awww, like the J-Law video, this is just genuinely heartwarming.
