Like you, we first fell in love with Amber Benson during her days on BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER. The feelings only grew as we watch her evolve into a director, producer and most of all a successful author.

For those who don’t have time to click-through, the Times essentially gives credit for the whole…
