About Reese Witherspoon's iconic film 'Legally Blond'
Based on Amanda Brown's 2001 novel of the same name, 'Legally Blonde' was released in theatres on July 13, 2001, and was followed by a sequel titled 'Legally Blonde 2: Red, White and Blonde', two years later.'Legally Blonde' told the story of sorority girl Elle Woods, who decides to follow her ex-boyfriend to Harvard Law School.
While failing to be taken seriously by many of her peers, Elle buckles up, gains the respect of her classmates, wins a murder trial, and moves on from her ex.
In 2021, when the film turned 20, Reese took to her social media and shared several rare behind-the-scenes pictures from the film
The Oscar winner went on to say that "playing Elle Woods was the role of a life time and I'm so honoured to have been a part of sharing her story with you all." She said, "Time flies when you're busy using legal jargon in your every day life. But truly... playing Elle Woods was the role of a life time and I'm so honored to have been a part of sharing her story with you all. Every meme, graduation cap, musical number, halloween costume and bend and snap has brought me so much JOY over these past two decades! I wonder... what will Elle do next?"
Some of the images Witherspoon shared included shots from the movie's alternate ending, which featured Elle sharing a kiss with Emmett (Luke Wilson) on the courthouse steps and a blonde Vivian (Selma Blair).
"Originally it ended at the courthouse right after the trial," 'Legally Blonde' co-writer Karen McCullah told Entertainment Weekly of that particular ending back in 2018.
"Everyone was congratulating Elle, and Emmett came up and gave her a big kiss. Then there was a tag where it was a year in the future and she and Vivian, who was now blond, had started the Blonde Legal Defense Fund and they were in the quad handing out pamphlets," McCullah added.
