For all the promise that Sarah Michelle Gellar's career once had when she was the star of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' she never quite made it in the upper echelons on the movie world. How different might things have been if she'd been shown a little more understanding from the producers of soap opera 'All My Children?'
Gellar was tapped for the part of Amber, playing against Alicia Silverstone in 'Clueless.' She was all for it, and wanted to play the part, but 'All My Children' refused to release her from her contract. The studio making 'Clueless' even tried to buy her out, but they wouldn't budge. The part eventually went to Eliza Donovan instead, and a furious Gellar left 'All My Children' as soon as her contract expired, refusing even to discuss signing a new one. We can't say we blame her.
