„I have the Polaroids. I looked exactly like Faye Dunaway in Bonnie and Clyde. The beret was on and the blonde. „There is a movement and the entertainment industry needs to be part of this cultural shift,” she wrote in a column for Variety published Tuesday. „Everyone benefits from accessibility because it opens up work to a broader, more diverse audience.” According to the Times, Alanna Ubach, who played Elle`s girlfriend Serena, also remembers the Hawaiian scene — but the writers told the outlet they never wrote that ending. The `Big Little Lies` star added: „Every meme, graduation hat, musical number, Halloween costume and bend & snap has brought me so much joy over the past two decades! 💕 I wonder. What will she do next? For now, it remains to be seen who will repeat their roles from the original film in Legally Blonde 3. Although the details of Kaling`s plot have been kept under wraps, Witherspoon recently teased that the long-awaited sequel will feature Coolidge`s return as Paulette in an important role. As it stands, Kaling hinted at what Elle audiences can expect, previously stating that Legally Blonde 3 will explore Elle Woods in her 40s and acknowledge the changes in the world since the first film`s debut. Given all this, it is quite possible that Blair`s wish to return as Vivian will come true.
During an oral history in 2021 in honor of the film`s 20th anniversary, actress Jessica Cauffiel, who played Elle`s best friend, Margot, told The New York Times that She and Vivian (Blair) ended up together, with romantic overtones. Now, Blair opens up about his hopes for Legal Blonde 3. In Evan Ross` podcast Katz Shut Up Evan (via Yahoo Entertainment), Blair says she wants to return as Vivian in Legally Blonde 3. The actress reveals that Vivian`s role in Legally Blonde was a highlight of her career. As such, Blair hopes to have at least one appearance for the third film in a franchise that she says has a „legacy.” Read Blair`s comment below: Jessica added: „The clue was that they were either best friends or that they had met romantically.” According to the Times, Alanna Ubach (who will be sister sister/beast Serena) remembers that the scene is also included in the script, but apparently, the writers of Legally Blonde said at the point of sale that no such ending was ever included in any of their scripts. I`m not sure of the real story here, but it`s entertaining nonetheless. Cauffiel revealed: „Originally, there was a line where [her friend] Serena said, `What`s the one thing that makes us feel better and better, no matter what? And I say, „Cunnilingus.” It was actually a line in the movie. When we went to the premiere, we thought it was always this angry, steamy cup. „Omigod you guys…#LegallyBlonde was created 20 years ago TODAY! Time flies when you`re busy using legalese in your daily life,” she wrote. But really. Playing Elle Woods has been the role of my life and I am so honored to have been a part of her story with all of you. Mindy Kaling, who co-writes the script with Parks and Recreation alumnus Dan Goor, told TODAY last month that the upcoming sequel will focus on an optimistic, pink-loving Woods in the present.
Given the popularity of the film, Witherspoon announced in 2018 that she was officially in talks to rehearse the character in a third film. Two years later, Mindy Kaling and Dan Goor were hired to write the screenplay. And while we don`t yet have an update on a specific cast list or plot, many actors from the original film have come forward to show their excitement about reviving their characters. Recently, Selma Blair, who played Vivian Kensington in the original 2001 film, expressed her desire to join the next three-pin. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, the actor praised the original classic, saying, „Legal Blonde is such a delight now, such a Technicolor classic.” Screenwriters Karen McCullah and Kristen Smith also noticed other endings, including one in which Elle and Vivian, who is now also blonde, founded the Blonde Legal Defense Club and distributed flyers at Harvard Law School Quad. Another option was to end with a kiss between Elle and Emmett (Luke Wilson), but eventually the current degree was decided with Elle giving the law school graduation speech. She also praised Witherspoon`s efforts to do justice to the story and characters. „Reese is really excited, you know, she loves her fans and she loves this movie and it`s so much fun,” Blair said. Co-writer Karen McCullah told Entertainment Weekly in 2018 that the film „ended up right after the courthouse trial. Everyone congratulated Elle, and Emmett came up to her and gave her a big kiss. Then there was a label where it was a year in the future and she and Vivian, who was blonde now, had started the Blonde Legal Defense Fund and they were in the quad and handing out brochures. The „Mean Baby” author remembers dying his hair for the other alternate ending, with Elle and Vivian both being blonde: „There was an ending where Vivian was blonde, and I became blonde,” Blair shared.
„I have the Polaroids. I looked exactly like Faye Dunaway in `Bonnie and Clyde`. The beret was on and the blonde. „Elle Woods is such an iconic and beloved character,” Kaling told Elle magazine. „Normally, I don`t think I would find it really funny because the expectations are set. But because we haven`t seen the character in 18 years, I was excited. We know what She looked like when she was 21, 22 years old. In an interview with The New York Times, Jessica Cauffiel, who played Elle`s sister and the beast Margot in the film, said that the original ending of the script had the characters of Reese Witherspoon and Selma Blair, Elle and Vivian, together „in Hawaii in beach chairs, drinking margaritas and holding hands.” Truly an unexpected twist! „There was an ending where Vivian was blonde, and I became blonde,” the actor revealed. „I`ll always appreciate her taking care of me and caring about me because I was so green,” Davis, 43, added of Blair, who played his girlfriend on screen. Blair played the beautiful Princess Vivian Kensington in the 2001 legal comedy. Although Vivian was initially cold with Reese Witherspoon`s Elle Woods when she arrived at Harvard Law School, the two became allies after Elle proved her skills in the courtroom. Blair, who played „Elle-turned-Friend`s romantic rival” in the classic comedy Vivian Kensington, opened up about reprising her role during a recent appearance on Evan Ross Katz`s podcast „Shut Up Evan.” Jen Juneau is a digital news writer for PEOPLE.
