    AceShowbiz – Alicia Silverstone has paid tribute to her late “Clueless” co-star Brittany Murphy on the 25th anniversary of the film.
    Murphy passed away at the age on 32 in December, 2009 but she was on Alicia’s mind as the 43-year-old was celebrating their beloved 1995 film with Vogue last week (ends July 17).
    Alicia revealed she was blown away with Brittany’s acting talents when she first auditioned for her role of Tai Frasier.
    “I just remember thinking she was so great for the part,” Alicia said. “I can’t remember how many girls came in to audition for Tai that day and I don’t know if I saw a few girls for it or just her, but I remember Brittany being really adorable.”
    “She’s so good at the little accent because she had one already, but I think she just pushed it to new heights. I found her so wonderful and I said to (director) Amy (Heckerling) right away, ‘I think she’s the one…’ She was like, ‘Uh yeah, duh. Of course she was the best. She’s the one.’ ”

    Alicia also recalled working with fellow teenager Brittany on the set, “I remember her mom was on set a lot. I brought my mom around a little bit and we would all spend time together. But I don’t think we had any intellectual idea about us being up-and-comers in a big movie because we didn’t know we were in a big movie.”

    'Clueless' to Get Three-Day Theatrical Return for Its 25th Anniversary

    Paramount Pictures

    AceShowbiz – Hit teen film “Clueless” is returning to theatres to mark its 25th anniversary this spring.
    The classic 1995 movie, directed by Amy Heckerling and starring Alicia Silverstone, is heading back to 700 cinemas in North America for a three-day run on 3, 4 and 6 May.
    Fathom Events and Paramount Pictures have teamed up for the anniversary showings, which include a special pre-show presentation breaking down the film’s iconic slang that still lives on in American culture.
    “Whether you’re seeing it for the first or the hundredth time, ‘Clueless’ remains one of the funniest and most charming movies – while never losing its satirical bite or wonderful view of the world as it existed 25 years ago,” a Fathom Events boss said in a statement. “We couldn’t be more delighted to bring it back to the big screen if Cher herself had asked us.”
    Based on Jane Austen’s 1815 novel “Emma”, the story centers on Silverstone’s Cher Horowitz, a rich and beautiful high school student who befriends styleless new student Tai Frasier (the late Brittany Murphy) and gives her a makeover – only for Tai to become more popular than her.
