Sarah Michelle Gellar Couldn’t Move Beyond Horror
Sarah Michelle Gellar was a major star in the nineties thanks to her fan-favorite show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Arguably her most famous movie, Cruel Intentions, also kept her a household name; however, she hasn’t managed to keep the movie offers coming. One main reason is that she was pigeonholed pretty early on in her career as a Horror genre starlet. Films like Scream 2, The Return, and The Grudge all helped ensure that.
When she has ventured outside of horror, it hasn’t faired well at the box office. Films like Harvard Man, Southland Tales, and Veronika Decides to Die allowed Sarah to stretch her acting wings, but audiences and critics didn’t respond well. Lately, she’s been taking a similar route to Jessica Alba in opening her own business. Foodstirs, a “cooking and lifestyle brand,” has been taking up a lot of her time lately.
