The Cast of Clueless

Surprisingly, the idea of Clueless got passed up by multiple studios. By the time it ended up with Paramount Pictures, Sherry Lansing, the head of the studio, had faith in the film.

She wasn’t the only one excited to start, as the entire cast and crew were also thrilled to create the film. According to Paul Rudd, who co-starred with Alicia Silverstone, they had an inkling of how big Clueless would be. He said that after the initial table read, the young actors all went to a place nearby for some food. Rudd remembered how cool they all thought it was to portray people their own age, especially in a John Hughes movie.
