“I met with Reese [Witherspoon] because everyone said, ‘This girl’s amazing. She’s going to be huge’,” said Amy Heckerling, writer and director.
“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."
“There was something about Alicia that was a little bit younger and a little bit more naïve in a way that we felt was really the right girl.”
