Who was your biggest celebrity crush?
PrevNode LinkNextSarah Michelle Gellar. She played Buffy Summers on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and I was 20 (and not forced-to-be-medicated-by-psychiatric-drugs) at the time. She is about my age, and I recall that her reported avoidance of consuming caffeine, alcohol, tobacco, and harder drugs, partly convinced me to avoid them as well. That was along with a recommendation for that in Neo-Tech (= an idea system which I can no longer recommend perusing).
After I became maniacal, I imagined her as a wild and polyamorous girl who duplicated herself several times using Star Trek transporters and "all of her duplicates came out more normal than her".
As this 1998 email exchange indicates we still held her in some contempt, which is not unusual historically for entertainers.
Some of my favourite performances of her:
Sarah Michelle Gellar Monologue: Hit on the Host - Saturday Night Live
Sarah Michelle Gellar Monologue: Vampires - Saturday Night Live - YouTube
And some favourite quotes:
Note that I later found the Buffy the Vampire Slayer characters Cordelia and especially Faith more attractive than Buffy Summers.
Also note that I have created a lot of crossover fan fiction about her and Buffy.
