Alicia Silverstone, Fashion, & the Language: Why We Still Love “Clueless” (1995)

Miss this episode on the beloved rom-com “Clueless” that tells the story of Cher, a self-absorbed Betty with a heart of gold, whose annoying step-brother Josh (a Baldwin himself!) ends up being her love interest? As if!

This classic 90s film was more than just a work of entertainment. It not only changed the way we speak, but also influenced fashion and launched the careers of young stars such as Alicia Silverstone, Paul Rudd, Brittany Murphy, Stacey Dash, and Donald Faison.

But on what 1815 novel was the movie based, and why was it rejected so many times? Why did writer and director Amy Heckerling have Alicia Silverstone in mind for Cher even before the script was finished? What memories do cast memories have of Brittany Murphy? And how did the focus on fashion (Cher alone had 64 changes!) challenge the cast and costume designer? You’ll feel, well, clueless if you miss out on this fun episode!
