Alicia Silverstone knew Brittany Murphy was perfect for Tai in Clueless from day one. The 1995 film is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. To commemorate the moment, the Guardian reflected on what it took to bring the movie to the big screen in an interview with writer-director Amy Heckerling and Silverstone published on Saturday, July 19. Casting director Marcia Ross was responsible for bringing in key players in the film's cast, including a then-17-year-old Murphy, who read for the part of Tai.
