Sounds like what you'd call a waitress once she's lost her youth ...

I would be if I played the same role for 7 years on a popular cult show with a dedicated fandom.

Well, we can all agree she's being selfish. SpikeSpiegel's point is that people have a right to be selfish.

She may think that it's time to devote herself to her movie career, considering that other than Buffy, her work to date has been slight.

I was a waiter for ten years and "waitron" was a term that briefly appeared in the '90's. Waiter/waitress, it's a sign of trying too hard to be P.C. Eventually, "waitron" was dropped and we all became "servers."

And I would never get on my knees for a customer, as was suggested above.

Justdavid,

That's a new contention, the your right to think less of her. I'm all for that.

Jasonzzz,

Since we weren't on set, we don't know how diva-ish SMG was, what prompted her, or what the agenda of the complainers are. Was she a diva because other people were not responding to her before she became more insistent about something? Was she unfairly labeled a diva because she was collegial but not chummy? Is she being slandered by members of some on-set clique (groups of friends, and snarky cross-clique behaviors, are common in many large workplaces, after all). I still say, her alleged sins seem small and open to nuances that we can't know, and who the hell cares?

Yeah, at that point, your job description is no longer "waiter," though "server" might still be valid as a euphemism ...

It has nothing to do with her acting. It has a lot to do with the way she acted on the set when they weren't acting.

Buffy has gone, largely because Sarah Michelle Gellar, known on set as "the Duchess", wanted to spread her artistic wings — and ended up filming Scooby-Doo 2. A cartoon Buffy has failed to get off the drawing board: "Too expensive, allegedly," Whedon says tightly. His next venture, Firefly, a futuristic space saga, was sucked into a black hole after 13 episodes, criticised as dull. It may come back as a feature film with the original cast.

You-know-who has been on my ass for weeks to read you, so I've finally started visiting your site on a regular basis (yay!). I just thought I'd let you know that this was the last episode of Buffy I worked on - I was one of the masses evacuating Sunnydale. And I spent a good part of the afternoon by the red VW, talking to Clem. He's very nice! And, his wife is hot (she was visiting the set).

Sadly, I missed the episode, so I don't know if I got camera time. But you were right - Sarah was sick as a dog that day (she sounded horrible off camera, when she wasn't trying to hide the illness). She was also fairly unfriendly, but I can't say that was any different than her behavior on other days I've worked Buffy, when she wasn't sick.

Just my two cents.

A lot of people have said/reported that Sarah is stuck up and is a bitch in real life. Is she?

It's not our place to make statements about her character, but what we do know of her is that she is a nice person who is very down to earth and devoted to her fans. However, she has always taken her career very seriously and strives to keep her privacy. Many people confuse this with being a snob or a diva. She treats the people that work for and with her the way anyone would in a business and if they're doing something wrong, she is likely to tell them. Unfortunately, her assertiveness and focus are often misinterpreted as negative qualities. Sarah isn't perfect. She is 'just another young woman striving to succeed in her chosen profession. She is, behind all the Hollywood hoopla, simply SMG!' (JPM)
