45. SARAH MICHELLE GELLARIt's weird to think that in the beginning, Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a movie, not a TV show. Even weirder: imagining anyone other than Gellar in the title role. Whether performing quippy comedy, ass-kicking, or intense drama (Buffy's struggle with the sudden death of her mother in ''The Body'' was one bravura hour), Gellar defined the full-service cult-pop diva. Her maybe-it's-Maybelline celebrity status among young women helped build The WB and usher in the era of demo-driven TV.

Sarah-Michelle rocks!
I LOVED Buffy. And Angel. I actually saw the movie and it was no where near as good. I think that is because the weird humor of it went right over their heads and they tried to play it straight. I just saw it again on tv and all I could think was how much better it would have been if Joss had control.
BTW John, have you watched Firefly/Serenity? It's another Joss and it rocks =)
