Not Quite
Even though Reese Witherspoon seems perfect, not every role was meant for her. GASP! Shocking, we know. Apparently, she was considered for the part of Cher in Clueless, and she even met the director. Yet, director Amy Heckerling knew it was meant for Alicia Silverstone. Heckerling said, “I met with Reese because everyone said, ‘This girl’s amazing. She’s going to be huge,’…I saw some movie where she had a southern accent. Maybe it was on TV, a movie of the week. But I did see some scenes of hers and went: Wow. She’s amazing. But Alicia is Cher.”
Tough Night
Everyone was really shaken up after the tragic attacks on September 11. A young 25-year-old Reese Witherspoon was the very first host for SNL after those awful terrorist attacks.
