   Happy Birthday, Sarah Michelle Gellar! Her Best Buffy Quotes   
   APRIL 14, 2017   
      
   Happy birthday, Sarah Michelle Gellar! The actress turned 40 on April 14,   
   2017.   
      
   It’s been about 14 years since Buffy the Vampire Slayer aired its last   
   episode, and Gellar has been plenty busy since then, starring in several   
   movies and launching Foodstirs, a startup that sells baking kits for kids.   
   This month, she is also releasing a cookbook, Stirring up Fun with Food.   
      
   But in honor of her milestone birthday, we’re looking back at the series   
   that started it all. Scroll down to read some of our favorite Buffy Summers   
   quotes from Buffy the Vampire Slayer!   
      
   1. “I may be dead, but I’m still pretty.”   
      
   2. “Strong is fighting. It’s hard and it’s painful and it’s every day.   
   It’s   
   what we have to do, and we can do it together, but if you’re too much of a   
   coward for that, then burn.”   
      
   3. “If the apocalypse comes, beep me.”   
      
   4. “I’m the thing that monsters have nightmares about. And right now, you   
   and me are gonna show ‘em why.”   
      
   5. “There is only one thing on this earth more powerful than evil. And   
   that’s   
   us.”   
      
   6. “Power. I have it. They don’t. This bothers them.”   
      
   7. “From now on, every girl in the world who might be a Slayer, will be a   
   Slayer. Every girl who could have the power, will have the power. Can stand   
   up, will stand up. Slayers, every one of us. Make your choice. Are you ready   
   to be strong?”   
      
   8. “Cordelia, your mouth is open, sound is coming from it. This is never   
   good.”   
      
   9. Giles: “You have a plan?”   
      Buffy: “I am the plan.”

   Sarah Michelle Gellar Shares Emotional Birthday Tribute to BFF Shannen   
   Doherty   
      
   While most of Hollywood is full of frenemies, Sarah Michelle Gellar and   
   Shannen Doherty are proving real friendships do exist in La La Land.   
      
   The Buffy the Vampire Slayer star shared an emotional birthday tribute to   
   the Beverly Hills, 90210 actress on Wednesday, April 12.   
      
   “Where do I even start with this birthday girl?!? She’s everything. She’s   
   inspired me … well since … even before I called her a friend,” she   
   captioned   
   the sweet picture [at the link].   
      
   “But over the last year, I have watched her inspire and give hope to the   
   world. I thought I knew how tough she was, but I didn’t even have a clue to   
   her power.”   
      
   Shannen revealed she had been diagnosed with breast cancer in August 2015.   
      
   Since going public with her diagnosis, the 46-year-old has been documenting   
   her health journey on Instagram with inspirational and raw photos.   
      
   “When I think twice about leaving the house without makeup, Shannen shaved   
   her head on the public stage,” the Cruel Intentions star said.

   Shannen Doherty Wishes Sarah Michelle Gellar a Happy 40th Birthday With Cute   
   Pic: You Always 'Rooted for Me'   
      
   by Jennifer Drysdale - Entertainment Tonight   
      
   The love is real between Shannen Doherty and Sarah Michelle Gellar.   
      
   Just two days after Gellar wished Doherty a happy birthday with a touching   
   tribute to her "most loyal" friend, the Beverly Hills, 90210 star returned   
   the favor, in honor of Gellar's 40th birthday.   
      
   Doherty took to Instagram on Friday to share an amazing throwback shot of   
   the pair hanging out at a party, alongside a sweet note thanking Gellar for   
   always "rooting for me."   
      
   "Happy Birthday @sarahmgellar I'm posting this pic because of the pure joy   
   and fun, I am clearly having in your presence," she wrote. "From the moment   
   we met, you embraced me, supported me and stood fiercely by my side. Never a   
   moment of insecurity or feeling threatened between us. Instead, you only   
   rooted for me and lifted me up."   
      
   "You are that woman that walks in a room and lights it up.... not only with   
   your smile, but with your confidence, humility, intelligence and sense of   
   ease. Naturally, you are an Aries!!!" Doherty continued. "I love you. I'm   
   proud of you. I also want you to come home now so we can celebrate!!! Happy   
   birthday beautiful friend. You deserve the moon and more."

   Once More With Meaning: A Deconstruction of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season   
   6   
      
   Fans of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” the cult hit that celebrates its 20th   
   anniversary this month, disagree about a lot of things regarding what, for   
   many of them, is the Best Show Ever Made. (Full disclosure: I am part of   
   that camp.) Ask about their favorite episodes and some will say “The Body”   
   while others argue for “Hush” or “Tabula Rasa” and more will sing the   
   praises of “Once More With Feeling” or other episodes in the seven season   
   canon of the series. Ask about their favorite Buffy boyfriends and you’ll   
   have a huge fight on your hands between Angel and Spike. (No one is likely   
   to expend a lot of breath over Riley.) Ask about their favorite villains,   
   and you’ll get all sorts of answers.   
      
   But there is one thing on which “Buffy” fans have, for fourteen years,   
   agreed on as if with a single voice: Season 6 of the show was a low point   
   for the series. Heck, in a recent Entertainment Weekly interview, star Sarah   
   Michelle Gellar herself discussed her distaste for that season: “I’ve   
   always   
   said that season 6 was not my favorite. I felt it betrayed who she was.”   
      
   For a long time, I shared that opinion. It was, after all, Buffy’s own: she   
   spends much of Season 6 loathing her own behavior. She keeps secrets from   
   her friends. She isn’t present emotionally for her little sister Dawn. She   
   can’t sense the deep needs her friends Xander and Willow have until it is   
   far too late. She can’t seem to find a way to “adult” in any variation of   
   the term. She finds herself in a torrid sexual affair with Spike, an   
   erstwhile nemesis who is still, according to both of them, “evil.” And she   
   simply can’t shake her feelings: even after he attempts to rape her, she   
   still trusts him to care for Dawn. Her decision-making in Season 6 is, in a   
   word, miserable.
