Legally Blonde has officially turned 20, meaning it has been two decades since we first saw Reese Witherspoon star as Elle Woods, strutting into Harvard Law School and absolutely slaying it.
The iconic flick, directed by Robert Luketic, was released on July 13, 2001, in the US, before gracing the big screen in the UK in October of the same year – and followed the fashionable student turned wannabe lawyer as she enrolled in the most prestigious school around, in a bid to win stuffy ex-boyfriend Warner Huntington III back.
Talking about why people still return to the flick so much today, and have truly taken Elle Woods to their heart, Karen told us: ‘It has [aged well], especially with the whole #MeToo movement. I think because the character is someone that you don’t expect to be the underdog of the movie. It’s fun to discover that she’s a really good person that we like and are rooting for.
‘It was a really free way to make the movie, there weren’t other screenwriters coming in, there wasn’t a lot of drama around it. Essentially we were able to just make what we wanted to make, with the producers and director, Reese and everybody,’ she said. In true Elle Woods style, Karen explained that she actually called up MGM to put herself forward for the part when she heard of the script, with Kirsten agreeing: ‘She was really the first actor to receive the script for consideration. It was a short list, she was at the top of it. She jumped on and it was a pretty great, smooth process. We didn’t go out to any other people.
Cinematographer Anthony Richmond, who served as Director of Photographer on the film, couldn’t help but agree. Karen admitted: ‘That dog was a bit of a diva. I always hate telling that story but that dog was not very… he didn’t really want to play with you. He was a professional dog.
‘Then one night we were out at a bar… I said to Karen, “Oh, what if she’s trying to get the UPS guy? If there’s a guy that she likes and she does a move like this, like the bend and snap? I did the move, and Karen was like, “Oh my God, I love that!”’
