She's Not Gonna Take It

From IMDb:

Insulted Gellar Dumps Agent

Hollywood beauty Sarah Michelle Gellar has ditched the prestigious William Morris Agency after its president dismissed the star as "nothing at all". David Wirtschafter offended the Buffy The Vampire Slayer actress with his comments in US publication the New Yorker surrounding her performance in horror movie The Grudge. Yesterday, Gellar's public relations spokesperson confirmed that she "has left the William Morris Agency effective immediately because of the New Yorker article", reports website Pagesix.Com. However, the sexy star will remain with management company The Firm. Gellar isn't the only star who has been upset by the outspoken talent boss - Charlie's Angels star Lucy Liu has also had problems with William Morris, but not "because of the article" according to a company spokesperson.




I don't follow her career as closely as some do, but Gellar's presence and talent are undeniable. She was an Emmy-winner before mega-stardom on Buffy, and IMO she lent the role the gravitas it needed to be taken seriously. Even before seeing her dust vampires, I sensed a very New York "Mess with me and you're on the floor" fire behind her eyes.
