An actress who starred in Buffy the Vampire Slayer still looks the same as she did in the show over two decades ago.

Running from 1997 to 2003, the supernatural drama series followed Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar), the latest in a line of young women known as ‘Vampire Slayers’, who were chosen to battle against vampires, demons and other forces of darkness.

It quickly gained a cult following and led to hundreds of tie-in products, including novels, comics and video games.

Actress Juliet Landau appeared in episodes across three of the show’s seven season, playing villain Drusilla the lover of Spike (James Marsters).

Flashbacks on the show revealed Dru as a young psychic in Victorian London who was driven insane by Angel before he ultimately turned her into a vampire.

Aside from appearing in Buffy, Juliet also played Dru in the spin-off series Angel, which ran from 1999 until 2004.

Now, 21 years after Buffy ended, photographs of the actress show that she seems to have barely aged since then.

Juliet, 59, still offers regular updates to fans on her social media pages, including her ongoing links to the Buffy franchise.

In previous photos shared on her Instagram, fans exclaimed how Juliet was somehow turning back the clock and looking ‘younger each day’.

Earlier this year she announced her podcast Slayin In, which follows her re-watching old episodes, a project she said was full of ‘encompassing heartfelt nostalgia’.

She has also promoted a make-up line inspired by Buffy,

A professional ballerina before pursuing a career in acting, Juliet has also appeared in shows including Criminal Minds, Bosch and Claws since Buffy.

She also voiced various characters in the animated series Justice League Unlimited and Ben 10 as well as the animated film Green Lantern: First Flight and characters of the BioShock video games.

In 2009, she also co-wrote issues #24 and #25 of the Angel comic book series, with storylines featuring Drusilla.

Last year Juliet also reunited with several of her co-stars for the Audible series, Slayers: A Buffyverse Story.

Set years after the TV finale and focusing on Spike, at the time James said he was ‘ecstatic to be back with my dear friends for this next chapter in the Buffyverse, as we take listeners on a familiar but unexpected journey chock full of horror, passion and mischief’.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is streaming on Disney Plus.
