Calling All TV Women

Joss Whedon has said that he created the now legendary figure of Buffy the Vampire Slayer because he thought that the blonde that always gets killed in slasher-horror movies needed a better image. This mission was certainly not to his professional peril: the series lasted seven seasons, ranks number ten on Entertainment Weekly’s list of 100 Greatest TV Shows, number three on TV Guide’s 2004 list of “Top 25 Cult Shows,” and number forty-one on TV Guide’s 2002 list of “50 Greatest TV Shows.” Buffy herself is number thirteen on Bravo’s list of “100 Greatest Characters.”

But where is that blonde from the slasher flick now, five years after the series finale of the show that sought to give her a better image? .
