30 Years Later: Can You Recognize the Cast of 'Clueless' Today?
Clueless Cast: Where Are They Now?
It's been three decades since Cher, played by Alicia Silverstone, hit the scene with her iconic yellow plaid outfit and unforgettable "as if!" catchphrase in the beloved 1995 romantic comedy Clueless. As the film celebrates its 30th anniversary on July 19, we're taking a trip down memory lane to see where the cast is now.
The Queen Bee Herself: Alicia Silverstone
Alicia, now 48, has certainly come a long way from her Cher character. Gone are the days of plaid and preppy; instead, she's traded in her bougie Beverly Hills wardrobe for a more laid-back, granola vibe. The vegan lifestyle blogger has been making headlines over the years for her unorthodox parenting methods, including feeding her infant son Bear by chewing his food and then transferring it from her mouth to his. Talk about a motherly love!
Stacey Dash: From Clueless to Controversy
Stacey Dash, who played Cher's best friend Dionne, has had quite the rollercoaster ride since her time on Clueless. The 58-year-old actress has been married and divorced four times, with two children from those marriages. In a shocking turn of events, Dash was arrested in 2019 for alleged domestic assault towards then-husband Jeffrey Marty after she called 911 to report he "put her in a chokehold." Talk about drama!
The Mystery Man: Justin Walker
Remember Christian Stovitz, Cher's crush? Well, the actor who played him, Justin Walker, has all but disappeared from the spotlight. Now 55, Walker sports salt and pepper locks instead of his former '90s heartthrob hairdo. He's been keeping busy with various projects, including an appearance on Pamela Anderson's V.I.P and a Pizza Hut ad.
The Tragic Case of Brittany Murphy
Sadly, Clueless marked the beginning of the end for talented actress Brittany Murphy. After her breakout role as outsider Tai Frasier, she went on to star in hit films like Girl Interrupted and Riding in Cars With Boys. However, her life was cut tragically short when she passed away at just 32 from pneumonia, which was exacerbated by iron-deficiency anemia and an overdose of legal drugs.
The Lucky Ones: Jeremy Sisto, Donald Faison, Breckin Meyer, and Paul Rudd
Not all Clueless cast members have been plagued by drama. Jeremy Sisto, who played popular high schooler Elton, has gone on to star in over 20 movies, including Thirteen and Waitress. Sisto also appeared in Six Feet Under, Suburgatory, Law & Order, and FBI. Donald Faison, who played Dash's popular boyfriend Murray, reprised his role in the TV series and went on to star in Scrubs alongside pal Zach Braff. Breckin Meyer, who appeared as Tai's love interest Travis, has had a successful career with films like Road Trip, Rat Race, Garfield, and Robot Chicken. And Paul Rudd, who starred as Cher's college step-brother Josh Lucas, has become a Hollywood A-lister with roles in Marvel's Ant-Man and classic comedy movies like Anchorman and Ghostbusters.
As the Clueless cast celebrates three decades of fame, it's clear that some have navigated the ups and downs of life with more success than others. But hey, who wouldn't want to revisit the iconic yellow plaid outfit and those unforgettable "as if!" moments?
