GELLAR: 'I THOUGHT I'D DIED'

SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR was surprised to be offered a role in the sequel to horror film THE GRUDGE, because she was convinced her character had died in the previous film. The BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER beauty played the role of KAREN DAVIS, an American nurse living and working in Tokyo who is exposed to a mysterious supernatural curse, in the 2004 film. She admits, "When they called me, I said, 'Didn't I die?' Evidently not. Apparently I escaped and wasn't a goner after all. Movie magic! "I didn't want to come back just to come back, though. It had to be a purposeful storyline."
