This week in “Throwback Thursday” I thought we’d take a look back at one of the badass women of the 90s, the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Kristy Swanson. Before Sarah Michelle Gellar ran with the role on TV, Kristy Swanson was the first one kicking vampire butt as Buffy Summers. Kristy also wowed us as Natalie Voss in The Chase with a young and certainly more stable Charlie Sheen. And everyone that saw it will never forget her photo shoot for Playboy in 2002?
Since then she’s done other films and played some roles on TV, especially in made-for-TV movies, but not a whole lot that we as guys probably have watched. She hasn’t quit acting though, she’s still at it with a few recent appearances on Psych and she has a few films due out in the next year, The Bouquet, Mimesis 2 and The Whole Banana. (Remind me what Mimesis 1 was about?) And as you will see from the pics that follow, even at 43 years-old, Kristy Swanson’s still got a little Buffy left in her.
