Date of birth April 14, 1977 Birth location New York City, New York Height 5' 3" (1.60 m) Birth name Sarah Michelle Gellar Education LaGuardia High School Profession Actress, model Notable role(s) Kendall, All My Children, Buffy Summers, Buffy Karen Davis, The Grudge   Sarah Michelle Gellar is an American actress perhaps best known for having played the Sarah Michelle Gellar role of Buffy Anne Summers in the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Although an actress from age 4 and playing parts in the TV series "All My Children", Sarah rose to fame for her part as Buffy in Joss Whedon's TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. A confirmed workaholic, Sarah managed to squeeze in no less than four movies during breaks in shooting seasons of Buffy.

At first glance, Sarah Michelle Gellar may appear petite and fragile, but you don't have to dig deep to discover that beneath the innocent face lies a very ambitious and aggressive woman, who isn't afraid to speak up when she isn't happy. Most people recognize her for her TV role as Buffy in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but she is the first to admit that she has much loftier goals, which she has proven to a certain extent with roles in many hit movies.

But most impressive about Sarah is her multi-dimensional personality. Not only can she take most men with her martial arts skills, but her range is not limited to acting and style, she attended the Professional Children's School in New York City while working and graduated with a 4.0 GPA. She has also said that her alternative career would have been journalism or children's literature.

Despite her tiny stature, she's only 5'3" she packs quite a punch, and her unique facial features have helped her land a contract with Maybelline, along with models Josie Maran and Adriana Lima. Not bad for a girl who always considered herself an ugly duckling growing up.

Style is her middle name; whether she's attending a Hollywood event or just hanging out with her friends, Sarah always combines the latest fashions with her own distinctive style. Besides a long list of movies, she has also appeared in many TV commercials and on the stage. Her breakthrough came with TV-series "Swans Crossing" (1992). During 1997 she became known to the cinema audience when she appeared in two movies at the cinema I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) and Scream 2 (1997).
