Clueless was a film directed by
Amy Heckerling[?] in
1995. Loosely based on the
novel Emma by
Jane Austen, the film tells the story of
Cher (played in what was a breakthrough role by actor
Alicia Silverstone,) a
valley girl who, although happy in her somewhat self-centered world of shopping and fashion, longs to prove herself as an intellectual and do-gooder. She, along with her friend Dionne (actress
Stacey Dash[?],) decide to give a personality make-over to a "tragicly unhip" new girl, Ty (actress
Brittany Murphy). Things backfire, though, when Ty's popularity begins to surpass Cher's, and she has to question what is most important in the life of a wealthy, gorgeous teenager girl.
The film was co-written by (and co-starred) comedienne Julie Brown and co-starred actors Donald Faison[?], Paul Rudd[?] and Wallace Shawn.
