Brace yourselves — Clueless, which is arguably the best teen movie of all time, turns 30 this month. Yes, 30. The big 3-0. It is THIRTY YEARS OLD.
Now that we all feel like our bones are crumbling to dust, let's check in with the cast and where they're at now...
Alicia Silverstone as Cher:
Clueless was one of Alicia's first film roles, and she went on to star in other '90s icons like Excess Baggage, Batman and Robin, and Blast From the Past. She's continued acting steadily over the years, recently in Netflix's The Baby-Sitters Club series. She's also a passionate animal rights activist and vegan.
Paul Rudd as Josh:
Although he had appeared in some TV series before Clueless, Josh was actually Paul's first big screen role. Since then, he's had a prolific and varied career, with roles in Romeo + Juliet, Friends, Parks and Recreation, Anchorman, The 40-Year Old Virgin, and, of course, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (and a whole bunch more). Most recently, he starred in Death of a Unicorn with Jenna Ortega.
Stacey Dash as Dionne:
Stacey had steady roles both before and after Clueless, although none that reached quite the same level of icon status. She was one of the film's few cast members to reprise their role in the Clueless spin-off TV series, which lasted three seasons. These days, she's perhaps more associated with her outspoken, conservative political views.
Brittany Murphy as Tai:
Before Clueless, Brittany had a fair amount of experience in TV roles, and went on to a successful big screen career, with notable roles in movies like Drop Dead Gorgeous, Girl Interrupted, Riding in Cars with Boys, 8 Mile, Just Married, and Uptown Girls. She also voiced Luanne in King of the Hill. Sadly, she died in December 2009 from pneumonia. She's pictured above right in 2009, just weeks before her death.
Elisa Donovan as Amber:
Elisa had some small parts in the lead up to Clueless, but her role as Cher's frenemy Amber became what she's most known for — especially since she also reprised the role in the TV spin-off. She also had a notable role in the later seasons of Sabrina, The Teenage Witch, and continued acting over the years, with her most recent onscreen role in 2017's MDMA.
Donald Faison as Murray:
Clueless was Donald's first major role, and he went on to star in the Clueless TV series as well as movies like Can't Hardly Wait and Remember the Titans. He's now most known for his leading role as Turk alongside Zach Braff in the TV show Scrubs.
Breckin Meyer as Travis:
Breckin was a child actor prior to Clueless, and afterwards he starred in movies like The Craft, Can't Hardly Wait, Josie and the Pussycats, and Garfield. He also did voice work for King of the Hill alongside fellow Clueless alumni Brittany Murphy, and performed in, wrote, and produced Robot Chicken, which Donald Faison also did voice work for.
Jeremy Sisto as Elton:
Jeremy had a few roles before Clueless, and has continued acting since, most notably in TV series like Six Feet Under, Law & Order, Suburgatory, The Returned, and most recently, FBI: International.
Dan Hedaya as Mel:
As one of the "adult" cast, Dan Hedaya had acted extensively before his role as Cher's father, Mel, in Clueless, including in movies like The Hunger, Joe Versus the Volcano, and The Addams Family, and TV shows like Cheers, The Tortellis, and Family Ties. He continued acting until recently — his last onscreen role was in 2021's The God Committee.
Wallace Shawn as Mr. Hall:
Wallace Shawn was perhaps the most well-known cast member prior to Clueless, having starred in one of the greatest movies of all time, The Princess Bride, as well as co-written and starred in the classic My Dinner with Andre, amongst many other roles. In the same year as Clueless, he also voiced Rex in Toy Story and Principal Mazur in A Goofy Movie. He continues to act and do voice work. In recent years, he's perhaps best known for his roles in Young Sheldon and Gossip Girl. In addition to acting and screenwriting, he's also a playwright and has published multiple books of essays.
Twink Caplan as Ms. Geist:
Twink Caplan (pictured above right in 2013) was known for her role in Look Who's Talking before Clueless. In the years since, she's worked as a producer and actor, most recently with small parts in the TV shows All That and Royalties.
Justin Walker as Christian:
Clueless was Justin's very first role, and while he did take on a few roles afterwards, he seemingly left the entertainment industry by 2005, when he had his last onscreen role in the movie Takeout. He now appears to be extremely private.
