| On February 24, 1993, Sarah began work on
the set of All My Children. She was nominated for a Daytime Emmy in 1994
and, although she lost, she was nominated again in 1995 and won in the Younger
Leading Actress category. Although she had given the producers 6 months notice
of her decision to leave the show, she made her decision public the day after
the Emmy win. After 2 ½ years, Sarah left the set of AMC and moved to
California to seek new fame in films or TV.
In 1996, Sarah was picked as the lead role of a new series called Buffy the Vampire Slayer, based on the movie by the same name. She was actually the original Cordelia Chase, but that job was taken by Charisma Carpenter. Warner Brothers bought 13 episodes of the show, and although ratings of the pilot were the highest ever of any of the WB lineup, it ranked 100th out of 107 programs in the Nielson ratings. In June, Sarah finished shooting I Know What You Did Last Summer, which stars her and Jenniffer Love Hewitt as teens that try to cover up a hit and run. It was released on October 17th and became number one that weekend, earning a profit in just two days. Shortly after filming I Know What You Did Last Summer, Sarah flew down to Atlanta, GA to film Scream 2. |
