When Sarah Michelle Gellar burst onto the scene as one of the biggest stars of the Nineties, she became synonymous with an era defined by pop culture phenomena like jelly shoes, Pogs, and Bart Simpson. Rumors swirled around her, with whispers on Y2K message boards suggesting she was mean and wanted to leave her iconic role in Buffy the Vampire Slayer for a career in movies. However, the reality of Gellar's experiences in Hollywood is far more intricate than such labels imply.
In her own words, Gellar states, “A lot of times on sets, you’re told not to make waves.” This reflects the pressures young women face in Hollywood, where speaking up can lead to being labeled as 'difficult.' Gellar challenges that label, proudly stating that it signifies her desire for everyone to bring their best to the table. She emphasizes that it’s okay to express dissatisfaction when things go awry, especially when you shoulder significant responsibilities.
Now at 45, Gellar is making her mark again with a lead role in the new Paramount Plus series, Wolf Pack. The series, which focuses on teenagers affected by a mysterious creature during a wildfire, marks her first major acting role in nearly a decade. Gellar is not merely reclaiming her narrative; she’s also using this opportunity to address past misconceptions about her career and character.
