Sarah began her acting career at age 4 when she was discovered by an agent while

Sarah started to gain a small, but loyal, fanbase when she played the lead role
of Sydney Rutledge in the teen soap opera, Swans
Crossing.
On February 24th 1993, Sarah Michelle began work
on the set of All My Children.
She was nominated for a Daytime Emmy in 1994 and, although she lost, she
was nominated again in 1995 and won in the Younger Leading Actress category.
Although she had given the producers 6 months notice of her decision to
leave the show, she made her decision public the day after the Emmy Awards.
After 2 ½ years, Sarah left the set of AMC and moved to California
to seek new fame in films or TV.
In 1996, Sarah was picked as the lead of a new series
called Buffy the Vampire Slayer,
based on the movie by the same name. Warner Brothers bought 13 episodes
of the show, and although ratings of the pilot were the highest ever of
any of the WB lineup, it ranked 100th out of 107 programs in the Nielson
ratings. Warner Brothers renewed the show for another 22 episodes which
will begin airing September 15th.
In June, Sarah finished shooting I
Know What You Did Last Summer, which starred her and Jenniffer
Love Hewitt as teens that try to cover up a hit and run accident. It was
released on October 17th and became number one that weekend, earning a profit
in just two days. Shortly after filming IKWYDLS,
Sarah flew down to Atlanta, GA to film Scream
2, which had the largest December opening of a film and made
more money in it's first weekend than the other top 9 films combined. Sarah
starts filming her next film, Cruel Intentions,
on April 6th, and follows that up with another movie entitled Simply
Irresistible.
On March 10, 1998, Sarah won a Blockbuster
Entertainment Award in the Best Supporting Actress
- Horror category for her role in I
Know What You Did Last Summer.
I received an autographed picture
of Sara Michelle Geller in the mail on Friday. It's just like the
one on the right, I just didn't want to scan it in. It came with a
Certificate of Authanticity too, so it's gotta be legit. It's been
put in a glass frame and hung on my wall. It's my first autograph.
I'd like to see if I can get one of Sara and Jennifer-Love from I
Know What You Did Last Summer. Anyone have one that they're willing
to part with? :)
I received another Buffy autograph
in the mail today. I've sent away for a picture of Neve Campbell from
Scream which should be coming within the next few weeks. I'll see
if I can get a Jennifer Love Hewitt before summer starts.
I got an autographed picture of the girl who plays Cordehlia
on Buffy and now Angel. I'll scan in a pic and put it up soon.
