Whedonesque Mobile : Comments on 16062 : Happy Birthday Sarah Michelle Gellar!

April 14 2008

Happy Birthday Sarah Michelle Gellar! Thirty-one years ago today the essence of acting talent was plucked from the heavens and bestowed upon a newborn babe. And I mean babe.

From the recent Buffy reunion:

WHEDON: David [Greenwalt] and I used to crow when we realized what Sarah could do. We used to call her Jimmy Stewart, because he was the greatest American in pain in the history of film.

GELLAR: I never knew that. You called me Jimmy Stewart?

ETA: Artist JayneLovesVera captures the essence of acting greatness.

Happiest of the happiest, Mrs. Prinze!

Why is this day not a national holiday? It should be. Hers, and Joss' birthday. After all, if Dr. Seuss' is an unofficial holiday, this one totally merits it.

Then again, it might be the day the undead choose to run rampant. This isn't yet a Vampire-Free America.

There should be a special hat, maybe some kind of commemorative pastry ... and songs we can sing door to door :)

Happy B-Day SMG!

Happy birthday Ms Sarah Michelle Gellar, actress extraordinaire, and many more.

Now you're safely over 30 you have, ooh, a good 7 or 8 years of complete relaxation before you have to start panicking about turning 40. Enjoy ;-).

Happy birthday from all in our house! And a special greeting from my 10-year-old daughter. Buffy is her favorite hero!

Happy Birthday to the lovely and super-talented Ms. Geller, the One True Buffy.

Shey | April 14, 16:18 CET

Happy Birthday Sarah, thanks for Buffy and for everything since -- especially Southland Tales.

Happy birthday, Sarah, you're kind of cute :-).

As for talent, well if Lucas or Spielberg are planning new version _SHE!_ they need to call you.

Wow, except for your father-in-law semi-accidentally blowing his brains out, the first part of 1977 was a very good start of the year. First AMber 's born, then you're born, then I get my BA. Of course it kinda-turned pear-shaped over the summer.

Finally, a young Buffyverse actor has a birthday that starts with "3." I don't feel quite so decrepit now. Happy b-day!

Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner | April 14, 18:25 CET

Happy birthday! :-D I need to go get some cake and get people together!

And Roland, plenty of Buffyverse actors are in their thirties. Sarah is among the younger ones in the show.

Valentyn | April 14, 19:00 CET

Happy birthday, Sarah!

UnpluggedCrazy | April 14, 19:05 CET

Valentyn; Not to speak for Roland, but I'm guessing what he meant was the Older Performers, like Charisma, David, Nicky, Emma, and Aly have been in their 30s for a while. But Sarah , Roland considers one of the Younger Performers so he gets a bounce from realizing she's 30+.

(Kind of like the way I felt when I found out Tony Head and also the guys from Brooks and Dunn were older than I am, I'd imagine.)

DaddyCatALSO | April 14, 20:23 CET

Ah, to be 31 again! A very happy birthday, Sarah!

kmb99 | April 14, 21:12 CET

DaddyCatALSO: Yes, that was more or less what I meant. Just sayin', my rheumatism is still acting up from that whippersnapper Eliza's birthday thread in December. :v)

Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner | April 14, 22:35 CET

Happy, Happy Birthday, Sarah!

MonkeyInBlack | April 14, 22:47 CET

Many happy returns!
