Sarah the Slayer Sarah Stars In Image Galleries |
Sarah plays the title role of Buffy Summers on the successful television Vampire Show. Buffy is a college student that has the interesting nightjob of being the slayer of vampires. Being the slayer means she has extraordinary strength, speed and reflexes, but she still has trouble getting dates. The shows huge success lies on the mix of humour (being in part a paradoy of shows such as Beverly Hills 90210) and horror, and of course the attractiveness of the Slayer.
In Australia, the show has been the subject of many letters to editors in TV magazines and guides. Many parents are concerened over the horror in the show, and it's early timeslot. When the show was moved to a late night time slot, and then taken off for other programs, the fans complained bitterly. However Sarah is proud of her role as a role model for young girls. "There are girls looking up to me and saying 'I'm going to be strong like Buffy'. I wish I had been able to watch a show like 'Buffy' where girls were not just capable and strong, but independent and individual, too."
Due to it's success, the TV show has inspired comics and novels, some of which have been based on existing episodes and some new. There are also action figures, collector cards, t-shirts, posters and whatever else a picture of Buffy can be stuck on! |
