Sarah Michelle Gellar (born April 14, 1977) is the leading actress in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, an American television series. She was born in New York City and has been acting since the age of 4, when she did a commercial for Burger King.

Gellar's major break was in 1992, in the teen soap opera Swan's Crossing. From there, she moved on to another soap opera, All My Children, for which, in 1995, at the age of eighteen, she won a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Leading Actress in a Drama Series.

Gellar left All My Children in 1995, and landed the lead in the highly successful Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The role has made her a cult icon in the United States and elsewhere. While continuing in that role, she has continued to perform in other roles, including the steamy Cruel Intentions, a modern-day retelling of Les Liaisons Dangereuses.

During the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" episode "Once More, With Feeling," which spawned an original cast album, Gellar sang in several of the songs: "Going Through the Motions," "I've Got a Theory," "Walk Through the Fire," "Something to Sing About," and "Where Do We Go From Here?"

On September 1, 2002, Gellar and actor Freddie Prinze Jr. were married in Mexico.
