“I thought,” Heckerling says in a DVD commentary clip, “I’ll do it if I can make fun of them.”The result was an homage to Valley Girl femininity and teen-magazine style tips, very much in keeping with Heckerling’s one-word vision of its aesthetic-“happy”-but which needled and mocked its protagonists, even as it made you like them. When Heckerling was tapped by 20th Century Fox to do a project “about teenagers” and “the in-crowd,” she found the premise boring. There’s also the slyly scathing takes on teen tropes, material culture, and class. There’s the roster of catchphrases (“There goes your social life”) or the Mona May wardrobe-itself almost a character in the film (notably, the top keywords on Clueless’ IMDb page are “miniskirt,” “girl wears a miniskirt,” “short skirt,” “virgin,” and “girl wears a short skirt”). “For the politics questions,” Dash’s publicist says, “we just wanted to stick to just Clueless, so if you want to, just revert everything back to the movie.”‘Clueless’: How the Greatest Clique of the ‘90s Transformed into a Shakespearean Tragedy‘Daily Show’s’ Trevor Noah Tears Apart ‘Clueless’ GOP Candidate Stacey DashThere’s a lot to revert back to in Clueless, director Amy Heckerling’s reimagining of Jane Austen’s Emma, which has persisted in the cultural vernacular for a quarter of a century. It means no questions about her one-month-and-four-day congressional campaign for California’s 44th district in 2018, run on a baffling platform against something that sounded like income inequality, but she called “Plantation Politics.” It means nothing about her brief stint as a Fox News pundit covering “cultural analysis and commentary,” where she said things like “I’m not here to judge” neo-Nazis and “there shouldn’t be a Black History Month” until there is a “White History Month,” and from which she was eventually suspended for saying Barack Obama “didn’t give a shit” about terrorism. On a recent Wednesday in Los Angeles, a few weeks before the film’s 25th anniversary, the three of us are on a conference call from our respective quarantines, where Dash’s publicist lays out the parameters.Staying on script apparently means no questions about Dash’s arrest in Florida last fall on charges of domestic battery against her fourth husband, Jeffrey Marty. She also spent the past eight years as a conservative commentator, endorsing Mitt Romney’s presidential bid in 2012, and later Donald Trump’s in 2016, before publishing her first book that same year, There Goes My Social Life: From Clueless to Conservative. Dash, who is 53, played the clothes horse with a cute sneeze, Dionne Marie Davenport, in director Amy Heckerling’s cult classic. Specifically, her publicist at Mayhem Entertainment Public Relations, a PR firm that mostly represents child stars and is currently suspended from Twitter, wants to stay on script, and the script is Clueless, the 1995 mid-budget teen comedy which turns legal car-renting age this July. She has recently appeared in The Painting (2001) and Paper Soldiers (2002).The Daily Beast Stacey Dash on 25 Years of ‘Clueless’: Dionne Would Be a Republican and ‘Far From a Feminist’ After leaving "Clueless" in 1999, Stacey seems to be moving along nicely. During that time she completed Oliver Stone's Cold Around the Heart (1997) and also the independent film Personals (1999). She went on to star in the UPN sitcom Clueless (1996) that was based on the movie, and which lasted for two years. In 1995 she did the provocative erotic thriller Вбивця у блакитному (1995) and later that year got her big break when was cast as Dionne in the hit comedy Безголові (1995). In 1994 she starred with Mark Wahlberg in Renaissance Man (1994). Four years later she was in Грошики (1992), with Damon Wayans. At 21 she made her feature film debut in Enemy Territory (1987), which was quickly followed by Moving (1988), in which she played Richard Pryor's teenage daughter. Stacy knew that she wanted to act, and from an early age began to act professionally.
