Sandollar Entertainment is credited at the end of every Buffy episode but the credits left out the company’s founders Dolly and her friend Sandy Gallin.
The show starred Sarah Michelle Gellar, Alyson Hannigan and David Boreanaz, and followed Gellar as the title character, a teenage last in a line of female vampire slayers.
Dolly’s company produced the 1992 film of the same name and the spinoff series Angel.
