Cici Cooper, Scream 2 (1997)
Introduced holding her own against a bunch of sequel-happy movie-geek dudes in a film studies class, Cici gets a dreaded Ghostface call while she’s home alone at her sorority, and soon after becomes one of the movie’s earliest casualties. While she’s a cleverly written character, Cici is mostly memorable because of who plays her, and the timing of her casting: Sarah Michelle Gellar, who had a huge 1997. In addition to Scream 2, she also appeared in I Know What You Did Last Summer and starred in a new TV show called Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
