'Little Fires Everywhere' Actors Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington Recall Their Failed Audition for 'Clueless'

Actresses Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington quipped they should "remake" 1995 teen cult movie Clueless after both stars failed auditions for the original. In an interview with Buzzfeed to promote their new series "Little Fires Everywhere", the actresses opened up on their experiences auditioning for the film, which starred Alicia Silverstone as the "Valley girl" Cher Horowitz and Stacey Dash as her accomplice Dionne Davenport, reports aceshowbiz.com. "You know one thing that is public... is I auditioned so hard for 'Clueless' and I didn't get it," said Witherspoon, as Washington admitted: "I did too!" Selena Gomez Recalls Her On-Camera Kiss With Dylan Sprouse, Says ‘It Was One of the Worst Day’

Witherspoon looked on in shock, Washington playfully suggested: "That would've been different... we should do, like, a remake! "We should recreate a scene from Clueless, that would be so fun!" the "Legally Blonde" actress said. "Yes, with us!" agreed Washington, as the pair hysterically laughed over the idea. The stars surprised fans by releasing their new drama series a day earlier than planned this week (begins March 16), giving fans in isolation something to celebrate amid the global COVID-19 pandemic. Susan Sarandon Recalls Struggling to Act a Threesome Scene in The Jesus Rolls.

The move-in release date comes as the World Health Organisation (WHO) advises people to practice social distancing and stay home in a bid to prevent the spread of the virus.
