Today is Sarah Michelle Gellar’s 44th birthday, and what better to way to celebrate than our fave SMG moments.

From Buffy The 25-Year-Old Cheerleader, to vindictive Kathryn in Cruel Intentions. She had a couple of liasions with the slasher genre before the death of her own film career (we blame Harvard Man), but is returning to TV (yay!) with a deal struck with Amazon Prime.

The show is called Hot Pink and is a young adult comedy.

She was also reportedly working on Other People’s Houses for FOX, but news on that has been silent since late 2019. Until her big TV return, here are some of her poignant moments we enjoyed growing up – and the lessons they (vaguely) gave us.

21. Finally, nights out like this, cure everything:

HAPPY B-DAY SMG!
