As If! Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington Once Auditioned for “Clueless”

In a recent BuzzFeed interview, Reese Witherspoon spoke about her early days of auditioning, and revealed that she once tried out for the Alicia Silverstone role in the 1995 classic Clueless. To which her Little Fires Everywhere co-star Kerry Washington responded that she, too, had tried out for the movie, for the role of Cher (which ultimately went to Stacey Dash).

“That would’ve been different,” Washington speculated after imagining the pair in the lead roles. “We should do, like, a remake!” Witherspoon agreed, adding: “We could recreate a scene. That would be so fun!”

Elsewhere, a television series reboot of the film centering around a reimagined version of Dionne is currently in development at CBS Television Studios. An early synopsis describes the project as “a baby pink and bisexual blue-tinted, tiny sunglasses-wearing, oat milk latté, and Adderall-fueled look at what happens when the high school Queen Bee (Cher) disappears and her life-long No. 2 (Dionne) steps into Cher’s vacant Air Jordans.”
