GELLAR TURNED DOWN STARDUST ROLE FOR LOVE

Actress SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR turned down a lead role in STARDUST - because she didn't want to be apart from husband FREDDIE PRINZE JR. The Buffy The Vampire Slayer star married Prinze Jr. in 2002 and the couple made a vow to avoid conflicting work schedules so they could spend more time together. But the promise meant Gellar missed out on a part in the new fantasy adventure movie starring Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer - because the film was being shot in Scotland when Prinze Jr. was filming in the U.S. She explains, "I turned it down because it was Freddie's turn in New York. I would have loved to have done it - are you kidding? But it was Freddie's turn."
