After her famous role on the TV series, Sarah Michelle Gellar didn't land any more blockbuster movie roles. She took on the role of Kathryn Merteuil in Roger Kumble's drama "Cruel Intentions," a bored socialite who, along with her friend Sebastian (Ryan Phillippe), devises a twisted game involving their acquaintance Annette (Reese Witherspoon). The role earned her an MTV award for Best Female Performance and the title of Sexiest Actress of the Year.We broke the stereotype. This was one of the first shows that wasn't afraid to show girls who could stand up for themselves. Personally, this has always resonated with me. My friends were into ballet, but I chose karate because there were no boys in ballet! People say being a role model is a heavy burden. What an honor! I remember how much my own girlhood idols meant to me.
