Sarah Michelle Gellar looks back on the iconic roles and unforgettable co-stars that shaped her career, from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Cruel Intentions to Scooby-Doo, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and more. She reflects on her on-screen chemistry with David Boreanaz, revealing that their real-life dynamic was far more playful than Buffy and Angel’s intense relationship: “There was nothing method about either of us… it was just a very goofy, silly relationship.” Sarah reflects on the late Michelle Trachtenberg, sharing how she brought Michelle to set to meet the cast and championed the young actress for the role as her sister on Buffy.
Sarah discusses meeting her future husband Freddie Prinze Jr. on the set of I Know What You Did Last Summer. She explains why she was “desperate” to play the villainous Kathryn in Cruel Intentions despite people trying to talk her out of it, and shares how her friendship with Reese Witherspoon has lasted decades — with their youngest children even becoming best friends. She also revisits her early soap opera days on All My Children, the challenge of filming Scooby-Doo in Australia without an actual Great Dane on set and how excited she was to be cast in the sequel to Ready or Not. From teen dramas and cult classics to career-defining friendships, Gellar revisits the behind-the-scenes moments that made these projects unforgettable.
SMG talks about Freddie’s 50th birthday and shooting Ready or Not 2 (which used 35,000 gallons of fake blood).
