Sarah Michelle Gellar in Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997 - 2003)

Sarah Michelle Gellar slayed in the role of Buffy Summers in the '90s supernatural series made it clear she would not be involved in a Buffy reboot, preferring to leave the original as her legacy.

She said: "I am very proud of the show that we created and it doesn’t need to be done. We wrapped that up. I am all for them continuing the story, because there’s the story of female empowerment. I love the way the show was left: ‘Every girl who has the power can have the power.’ It’s set up perfectly for someone else to have the power. But like I said, the metaphors of ‘Buffy’ were the horrors of adolescence. I think I look young, but I am not an adolescent".
