That "I tried" was so Buffy 😄 I could literally see her saying it like that in the show.

She's so classy :) there is a reason we fans have stuck with SMG for so long. I never feel "left out" when she tells stories, she always places her heart in her words, and she uses her intellect to drive the narrative. Truly a star ! -- cannot wait to check out Wolf Pack !

I didn’t pay too much attention to BTVS when it was out, but when it was on Netflix, I binged it and really enjoyed the show. The writing and the acting was fantastic. They had so many cool stories with life messages. One episode really stood out for me was the one where Buffy’s mom died. That and many other moments is when Sara really showed her abilities as an actor. Great cast - great series
She will always be Buffy to me, but she did an amazing job playing Kathryn in Cruel Intentions it just shows her range in her skills and didn't pigeon hole her into playing one type of character. It was a smart move on her part!
Buffy was the best tv series I’ve ever watched.

I've been watching TV since the early 60s and BTVS is still the best series ever. The writing, the acting, the directing - and the series was one long, long story arc. I've never seen a show handle the characters' growth so well and so long.

I one hundred percent believe that Sarah is one of the most underrated actresses of her time. Seriously her interpretation of Buffy was absolutely moving and anytime I re-watch I'm blown away by the power and intensity/depth of Sarah's performance. Hands down one of the best actresses IDC what anyone says. 💯🙏🏻❤️

I watch AMC with my grandma and loved her as Kendall. I was also obsessed with the movie BTVS. I almost died when Buffy came became a show and it was SMG!🎉❤
In 1997 I had a huge crush on Buffy and I would watch BTVS faithfully after I finished my homework. It was the highlight of the week for 11 year old me.
My childhood hero, cannot wait to watch Wolf Pack to support SMG! My fav actress ever.
I love Sarah ! She’s still my favourite actress till this day. Her work on Buffy was remarkable. She’s also a very genuine person too. Love her ❤❤
I love you Sarah! Buffy was my child hood since middle school... I'm 34 and still watch till this day...
Buffy will forever & always be my favourite show - that’s the show I always re watch. Her acting is just phenomenal and SMG was so dedicated to her character and it shows ❤ you feel all the feels along with her
There are moments in Buffy where SMG's performance was utterly tremendous. & there was 5+ episodes that are among the greatest in television history.

Sarah only continues to get more iconic! I am so excited to see her in wolf pack, she is my all time favorite actress and biggest inspirations!
Have been a fan for hers for years. She has a very likeable presence that draws you in. Also I like her versatility to play such different roles. BTW - It's awesome that she likes Grease 2 more than the original. I thought I was the only one who thought it was better. 😄

I went through a phase where i’d go back and forth between binging buffy and binging angel, and every time i’d switch and watch a couple episodes in a row i’d think “wow, this might be better than buffy” and vice versa. it really shows how they’re both wonderful shows in their own way. incredible writing and acting all around

@@eliza5344 You know what's funny is that I was so much more into Buffy, I dismissed Angel. Then I watched Angel later on and actually really enjoyed it. Then I filled in the gaps that were in between episodes of Buffy. For instance if Buffy was not in an episode or Angel was not in an episode was because they were on each other's shows. That's why to get the real experience, you have to see both series. There were many crushing and depressing episodes and really fantastic ones. But I have to admit Willow and Wesley were two of the most dynamic characters to be able to do a 360 on both their character's personalities. I know they're both married in real life, which is great! Just real well written characters all around.
I'm so pleased that she is making a comeback, and that even amid all the controversy that now haunts Buffy due to JW, she can be positive about her experiences and the show.

Realmente lo de Joss Whedon es lamentable... es lamentable que se le juzgara tan duramente... siendo que Él demostró siendo director de una de las películas más taquilleras de todos los tiempos "Avengers" reviviendo Marvel, y todos los trabajos que ha hecho, que es un genio! Si fue "duro" con los actores.. nunca lo sabremos realmente... lo que yo vi en los videos del set es que era una persona super divertida y agradable! su forma de trabajar da excelentes resultados. No hay que juzgar a la gente... menos a quien uno no conoce en persona.
Love SMG so much. One of my favorite actresses of all time and one of the most beautiful as well. I was heartbroken when she stopped acting for awhile, but I understand she wanted to be a full time mom and focus on her family. She's an admirable woman for that. Beyond excited for her comeback to film/TV. She lights up the screen whenever she's on it.
been in love with her since '97
❤️ SMG forever, Buffy will always be my favorite show ever.
She still looks great.
Every year that goes by, SMG gets more and more beautiful. I have no idea what Dark Magic is involved here, but she seems to have it completely working for her. Amazing. :)
One of my favorite actresses she’s awesome!

Emma Watson says in the first couple of films she memorized the script so carefully she knew the Harry and Ron lines. Problem was, she'd mouth the lines during the scene and the director would have to say "Cut. Emma, you're doing it again."

You are so much more than any of the above. People might encourage you to push yourself into labelled boxes, but please don't. It's so much easier (and less depressing) to just be yourself, let your personality shine and be defined by that and your new experiences rather than a few labels.

I Luv Btvs, and Cruel Intentions is one of my very favorite flicks, seen it So many times!!
If you haven't already, you MUST watch Southland Tales! It's one of Sarah's finest performance imo
I've always loved her - one of my fav actresses! Also, this outfit is giving a major Fred and Daphne mashup vibe.
Still looking great.

Already loved her but now I know she had a buffy obsession to love her even more
I love her so much. Thank you for amazing memories Sarah.
Wonderful actor, and even better person. Loved her on AMC and Buffy.
The first time i ever heard of her was I Know What You did last Summer. Then I heard she was Buffy. then I saw Cruel Intentions. then i started watching Buffy.
She's a legend . Such a great actress & a nice lady . In the movie I know what u did last summer she looked like girly Buffy without the slayer power .
She’s amazing
Love that she chose Friends and Freddie Prinze Jr was on that show
Shes so sensible and down to earth, as well as having a reputation for professionalism and hard work. Going to watch Buffy for the 1000th time after seeing this, love her!
For anyone waiting for her explanation of why she wanted to be in Cruel Intentions- she doesn't actually say why she wanted to be in it. She says she loved the script and wanted to be in the movie but she doesn't say why she felt that way at all.

I think she's pretty clear in that she took the role as it's a step out of her comfort zone and what she was being typecast in at the time, has to be a refreshing project for an actor to go against what people know you for and expect from you.
