Two decades afterLegally Blondefirst hit theaters, the beloved film is still near and dear to starReese Witherspoon’s heart.
“Omigod you guys ….#LegallyBlonde premiered 20 years ago TODAY!” Witherspoon wrote in the post’s caption. “Time flies when you’re busy using legal jargon in your every day life.”
The Oscar winner went on to say that “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 & snap has brought me so much JOY over these past two decades!” she raved. “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 Blondeco-writer Karen McCullahtoldEntertainment Weeklyof 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.”
“This was a time before cameras on phones,” she wrote on her Instagram,posting throwback photos of herself hanging out with her costarsin between takes. “I walked around with a tiny vintage camera but never remembered to take many. I was too busy hanging out with Matt Davis talking in my trailer, or watching Reese work.”
One of the pictures Blair posted featured a group shot on set, while another showed the actress giving a kiss to castmateVictor Garber.
“I made lifetime friends. Fell on my face impersonating Billy Elliot. Right after the group shot. Where I am standing on my toes. Trying to be taller. While Reese was inside… on set working. Making Elle Woods,” Blair continued.
She added, “I love you all.”
