Sarah Michelle Gellar was born in New York City, New York and coming from a poor background, it was unfortunate for her to have her father walking out on her when she was a child. She was left to be brought up by her mother Rosallen. "We could hardly pay the rent," SMG says, "So when I won a scholarship to a private school, the High School for the Performing Arts, they made my life hell. They knew I had no money and constantly reminded me of the fact."

Looking back about her father, SMG says "He is nonexistent in my life and I have nothing to say about him. We have not spoken since I was 11."

Her acting career more or less started in TV commercials. One of her first roles was for an advertisement for Burger King, claiming that they were bigger than McDonalds. As a child she made acting appearances in films such as Over the Brooklyn Bridge, with Elliot Gould in 1984, and with Chevy Chase in Funny Farm in 1988. They helped to get her noticed for bigger TV roles. She won an Emmy award at 17 for the daytime drama, All my children.

Her tough early days are over, she has struck success in the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
