Here's What The Cast Of "Clueless" Looks Like 30 Years After Its Premiere, And I Swear They Haven't Aged A Day
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: Archive Photos / Getty Images, Dia Dipasupil / WireImage, 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: CBS Photo Archive / CBS via Getty Images, Stephanie Augello / Variety via Getty Images 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: CBS Photo Archive / CBS via Getty Images, Astrida Valigorsky / Getty Images 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: CBS Photo Archive / CBS via Getty Images, Michael Tullberg / Getty Images 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: CBS Photo Archive / CBS via Getty Images, Rodin Eckenroth / WireImage 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: CBS Photo Archive / CBS via Getty Images, Mark Von Holden/NBC / NBC via Getty Images 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: CBS Photo Archive / CBS via Getty Images, Alberto E. Rodriguez / Getty Images 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: CBS Photo Archive / CBS via Getty Images 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: CBS Photo Archive / CBS via Getty Images, Jamie McCarthy / Getty Images for Tribeca Festival 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: CBS Photo Archive / CBS via Getty Images, John Lamparski / Getty Images 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: CBS Photo Archive / CBS via Getty Images, Rodrigo Vaz / FilmMagic 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. Solve the daily Crossword

Clueless cast members look very different as movie celebrates 30th anniversary
The wildly popular '90s romantic comedy Clueless is celebrating its 30th anniversary on July 19... but do you recognize the cast today? The original 1995 movie, which is loosely based on Jane Austen's novel Emma, starred Alicia Silverstone, Paul Rudd, the late Brittany Murphy, Stacey Dash, Breckin Meyer, and Donald Faison. The Amy Heckerling-directed movie was a surprise box office smash and made $88million with a budget of $12million. Three decades later the rom-com has maintained such a devoted following that it sparked a teen sitcom, an off-Broadway musical, and a forthcoming TV series. Fans were left divided by the announcement of a Clueless television series at Peacock, with Alicia set to reprise her iconic role. However, the upcoming series will be written by Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage who worked on Gossip Girl and The O.C. which gave millennial Clueless lovers hope for the eventual reboot - plus, Silverstone is returning to the small screen. Despite the movie's popularity and the cast skyrocketing to superstardom from relative obscurity, plenty of drama followed them after the film's premiere. Now, Daily Mail is revealing how the surprising blockbuster transformed the lives of the cast, who were plagued by addiction issues, multiple divorces, and a whole range of controversies. These days, Silverstone, 48, looks nothing like the plaid-wearing, preppy fashionista she shot to fame playing when she was only 18. She often dresses down in neutral tones and has lived a much more granola life than her bougie Beverly Hills counterpart. The vegan lifestyle blogger has found herself in hot water many times over the years for her parenting beliefs, including saying her son Bear has never needed medicine thanks to being vegan and taking baths with her son during quarantine. The star also posted a video in which she fed her infant by chewing food and then transferring it from her mouth straight to his, which proved to be quite controversial as a parenting technique. Alicia shares Bear with ex-husband Christopher Jarecki, who she was married to from 2005 to 2018. They share joint legal and physical custody and she pays him spousal support. While she might seem as far removed as possible from glamorous Cher, Alicia has revisited the character who made her famous over the years. Most recently she reprised the role during a Super Bowl commercial for Rakuten, stepping back into her famous yellow plaid ensemble. Stacey Dash, 58, played Cher's best friend Dionne, a fellow Beverly Hills preppy party girl. Unlike Silverstone, Dash reprised her role for the Clueless TV series in 1996. Since her time on Clueless she has proven to be quite the controversial figure, with multiple divorces, a Fox firing, and a mugshot to her name. Over the years, Dash has opened up about her abusive upbringing and her struggles with drugs, admitting that she was taking 18 to 20 Vicodin pills a day at the height of her addiction. The right wing anchorwoman has also proven quite controversial. The former commentator was fired by Fox News in 2016 after she claimed Barack Obama 'didn't give a s***' about terrorism. Dash drew intense criticism for backing Donald Trump's statement after the 2017 Charlottesville neo-Nazi rally in Virginia when he said there were 'very fine people on both sides,' as well as for defending Trump's claim that Mexican immigrants were drug traffickers, rapists and criminals and calling for an end to celebrating Black History Month. In a DailyMailTV interview in March 2021, Dash apologized for any hurt she had caused, blaming her 'arrogant pride and anger' and vowed to withdraw from politics. Dash has also dealt with a myriad of serious issues in her personal life. The star has been married and divorced four times and has two children. In September 2019, Dash was arrested for alleged domestic assault towards then-husband Jeffrey Marty, after she called 911 to report he 'put her in a chokehold.' Marty later bailed her out and case was dropped on his request. Heartthrob Justin Walker, 55, played potential love interest Christian Stovitz, who was Cher's crush until she realized he wasn't interested in women after her failed seduction. Walker disappeared from the spotlight and now looks quite different, sporting salt and pepper locks instead of '90s heartthrob hair. Walker went on to appear in an episode of Pamela Anderson's V.I.P and a Pizza Hut ad and later ran California restaurant Teddy Teadle's Grill before launching a fantasy sport wagering website. Of course, Brittany Murphy, who played outsider Tai Frasier who gets the ultimate cool girl makeover, met the most tragic end of all. After her breakout role in Clueless, Brittany went on to star in hit films like Girl Interrupted, Uptown Girl,s and Riding In Cars With Boys. She then married English filmmaker Simon Monjack in 2007. However, their life together was cut short when in December 2009, the actress suddenly passed away at just 32 from pneumonia, which was said to be exacerbated by iron-deficiency anemia and an overdose of legal drugs. For some luckier actors, Clueless proved to be a star making moment that didn't lead to behind-the-scenes issues. Jeremy Sisto, who played popular high schooler Elton in Clueless, went on to star in more than 20 movies, including Thirteen and Waitress. Sisto also appeared in Six Feet Under, Suburgatory (which Silverstone played his love interest), Law & Order and FBI. Donald Faison, 51, who played Dash's popular boyfriend Murray, went on to reprise his role in the TV series and take off from there. The dad of six starred in Scrubs alongside pal Zach Braff. Breckin Meyer, 51, who appeared as Tai's love interest, the stoner skateboarder Travis, went on to star in Road Trip, Rat Race, Garfield, and Robot Chicken. Paul Rudd, who starred as Cher's handsome college step-brother Josh Lucas, has had a massive Hollywood career ever since his debut film and managed to avoid any drama in his personal life. Rudd, 55, starred as Marvel's Ant-Man and appeared in classic comedy movies like Anchorman and Ghostbusters.

To Celebrate 30 Years, Dogfish Head Turns Back Time with New Cherry Pale Ale, An Off-Centered Reconstruction of Founder's First-Ever Homebrewed Beer
Dogfish Head Cherry Pale Ale 30th Birthday Box MILTON, Del., July 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In honor of its 30th anniversary, Dogfish Head Craft Brewery unveils an off-centered reconstruction of Founder Sam Calagione's first-ever homebrew, Cherry Pale Ale. A liquid time capsule transporting drinkers back to the mid-90s, this limited-edition beer is brewed with Delaware wheat, Maine barley, Cascade hops and boatloads of beautiful cherries for an easy-drinking, summertime sipper with balanced sweet and tart notes of stone fruit. Want to try the beer that started it all? Beginning this Friday, July 18, at noon EST, Dogfish Head's Cherry Pale Ale will be available for purchase within a special 30th birthday box exclusively at Dogfish Head's Cherry Pale Ale 30th birthday box includes a 6pk/12oz cans of Cherry Pale Ale alongside a selection of 90s-inspired Dogfish Head merchandise – a magnet, sticker pack, mini pennant flag and a special Post Tape digital cassette. Priced at just $30 each, including shipping, while supplies last. 'I first brewed Cherry Pale Ale back in 1993, while I was writing the business plan for Dogfish Head,' said Sam Calagione, Dogfish Head Brewer & Founder. 'After serving it to my roommates and friends at a party in our small New York City apartment, I knew – and proclaimed to everyone – that brewing beer was what I wanted to do with my life. Now, in honor of Dogfish Head's 30th birthday, I couldn't be more excited to share my virgin brew with drinkers near and far!' To make this release of Cherry Pale Ale as authentic as possible, every detail was thoughtfully inspired by Dogfish Head's history and Calagione's first time homebrewing. The beer's recipe includes Delaware wheat and Maine barley, offering loving nods to the brand's bistate roots – Delaware, where the brand was founded and is still rooted today, and Maine, the state housing the jut of land after which Dogfish Head was named. The label artwork, which features a hand-painted cherry, is a recreation of the artwork that adorned Calagione's original homebrew. And to keep things true-to-history, it was created the same way as the original, by Calagione, using a hand-carved potato stamp and finely bristled paint brush. 'Everything about this release holds a special place in my heart, but one of my favorite details has to be the infamous 'carpet coasters,'' said Calagione. 'You're probably thinking, 'carpet coasters' … what the f*ck? Well, when I first brewed Cherry Pale Ale, after heating the bottles in the oven to sanitize them, I placed them on the carpet to cool. Little did I know the heat would melt the carpet to the bottles requiring me to cut a 'coaster' around each bottle. Hey, necessity is the mother of invention … right? So that's why every can of Cherry Pale Ale is lovingly affixed with a hand-crafted carpet coaster of its own.' While Dogfish Head's Cherry Pale Ale 30th birthday box will only be available for purchase online, drinkers in Delaware can pick up a 6pk/12oz cans of Cherry Pale Ale, 'carpet coasters' and all, at Dogfish Head's Milton brewery. Priced at $16 per 6pk/12oz cans. Limited to one 6pk per person. Rooted in coastal Delaware, Dogfish Head opened its doors as the first brewpub in the First State – and one of the smallest commercial breweries in America – in June of 1995. Now, 30 years later, Dogfish Head is one of the largest, most well-known craft breweries in the country, with a production brewery, production distillery and tasting room in Milton; a beer-themed, canal-front hotel in Lewes; and two delectable restaurants in Rehoboth. And while many things have changed over the past three decades, the brewery's raison d'etre has not; Dogfish Head remains committed to providing 'off-centered goodness for off-centered people,' in the forms of beers, spirits, culinary adventures and more.
