4. Sarah Michelle Gellar
Then: If the 90s had a queen of supernatural cool, it was Sarah Michelle Gellar. She led Buffy the Vampire Slayer with a mix of toughness and vulnerability, instantly becoming a role model. She also starred in cult classics like Cruel Intentions and I Know What You Did Last Summer, cementing her teen idol status.
Now: Gellar stepped back from Hollywood’s grind to focus on family life with husband Freddie Prinze Jr., but she never disappeared completely. She’s returned for select acting projects, voiced characters in animation, and launched a successful lifestyle food company, Foodstirs. While she may no longer be fighting vampires weekly, Sarah Michelle Gellar remains an icon of empowerment and reinvention.
