Gellar's major break was in 1992, in the teen soap opera Swan's Crossing[?]. From there, she moved on to another soap opera, All My Children, for which, in 1995, at the age of eighteen, she won a Daytime Emmy Award[?] for Outstanding Younger Leading Actress in a Drama Series.
Gellar left All My Children in 1995, and landed the lead in the highly successful Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The role has made her a cult icon in the United States and elsewhere. While continuing in that role, she has continued to perform in other roles, including the steamy Cruel Intentions, a modern-day retelling of Dangerous Liaisons, Valmont[?], and Les Liaisons Dangereuses[?].
On September 1, 2002, Gellar and actor Freddie Prinze Jr.[?] were married in Mexico.
