ended its seven-season run in 2003 and Gellar aged into adult roles, she mostly moved on from genre work — appearing in a string of independent drama features and a short-lived TV thriller,, on The CW. That’s what makes her latest choices such a departure. Gellar is finally playing the hits.
Such a return comes with expectations. Gellar is aware that there are questions — not just about her ability to lure an audience but about past experiences, as, like so many cultural products, is reexamined through the lens of recent reckonings. The actor anticipates navigating those conversations in the same manner she does all of her work these days: more emboldened than she was the first time around.
Self-possession didn’t always make her friends on set. The only child of a single mom, Rosellen, Gellar arrived in Los Angeles at age 16 with the kind of maturity that comes from growing up in Manhattan and putting in long hours on a soap opera. She logged two years on, a gig that earned her a Daytime Emmy and a reportedly uneasy relationship with her onscreen mother, Susan Lucci.
SarahMGellar you think that outfit cant get worse then the camera pans down to cowboy boots.
I love that she's come back to acting.
