Sarah Michelle Gellar's death in 'Scream 2'

Sarah Michelle Gellar (1977 - )

Film Deaths

• I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) [Helen Shivers]: Stabbed to death with a hook by Muse Watson in an alley (filmed in such a way that's it's hard to see what's happening). Her body is shown later on when Jennifer Love Hewitt discovers it hidden in a pile of ice on Muse's boat.

• Scream 2 (1997) [Casey 'CiCi' Cooper]: Falls to her death after being thrown off a balcony by Ghostface (Laurie Metcalf) after being stabbed twice. (The actual fall was done by stunt performer Sophia Crawford.)

• Small Soldiers (1998) [Gwendy Dolls]: Providing the voices of several dolls brought to life by the Commando Elite, most of them are smashed to pieces with a golf club by Kirsten Dunst.

• The Grudge 2 (2006) [Karen Davis]: Falls to her death from the hospital roof after being attacked by Takako Fuji's ghost; we see her when she lands in front of Edison Chen and Amber Tamblyn.

• Southland Tales (2007) [Krysta Kapowski a.k.a. Krysta Now]: Killed in an explosion, along with everybody else on the Mega-Zeppelin, when Lou Taylor Pucci fires a rocket launcher at it.

TV Deaths

• Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Prophecy Girl (1997) [Buffy Summers]: Drowned after Mark Metcalf drops her into a pool of water after biting her and rendering her unconscious; although her heart does stop beating (fulfilling the prophecy of her death) she is brought back to life when Nicholas Brendon performs CPR. (It's arguable whether this really counts as a 'death' scene, but if it's good enough to fulfill a prophecy...)

• Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Wish (1998) [Buffy Summers]: Neck snapped by Mark Metcalf in an alternate reality; immediately after her death, the proper timeline is restored, bringing her back to life.

• Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Gift (2001) [Buffy Summers]: Commits suicide by throwing herself off of a tower in order to save the world from a supernatural force. (She was brought back to life with a magic spell in the next season's opening episode, Bargaining).

• Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Bargaining (2001) [Buffy Summers / "BuffyBot"]: Playing a dual role as both the real Buffy (who returns to life in this episode) and her robot duplicate, the "BuffyBot" is torn apart by demons while the real Sarah looks on.

• Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Hell's Bells (2002) [Buffy Summers]: Her death is hinted at, but not explicitly described, in a vision of the future. (It later turns out that the vision was a demonic trick by George D. Wallace, and that it will not come true.)
• Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Normal Again (2002) [Buffy Summers]: Dies (off-screen) of presumably natural causes. However, her death is a hallucination as she was stung by a demon in which the venom caused severe hallucinations in which she was a patient at a mental institution.

• Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Villains (2002) [Buffy Summers]: Shot in the chest by Adam Busch; she dies on the operating table, but is later brought back to life by Alyson Hannigan's powers.

• Robot Chicken: Operation Rich in Spirit (2005; animated) [Daphne]: Hacked to death with a machete by Jason, in a Scooby-Doo-meets-Friday the 13th parody.

• Star Wars: Rebels: Twilight of the Apprentice (2016; animated) [Seventh Sister]: first by force choked by Darth Maul(Sam Witwer, then tells Ezra Bridger(Taylor Gray), but hesitates, then either decapitated or cut in half as Darth Maul threw his Lightsaber at her, much to Ezra's shock. Though we see her legs fall to the ground along with her lightsaber, we don't see the rest of her body.
