28 years ago, the world of cinema changed forever in two words: As if! Amy Heckerling’s Clueless, the retelling of Jane Austen’s new Emma, stars 18-year-old Alicia Silverstone as Cher Horowitz, a Beverly Hills teen who rules her high school with equal parts charm and oblivion, and the brand new. Co-founding star Stacey Dash, Donald Faison, recently Britannia Murphy and Breckin Meyer were all players, as was a then-unknown love interest named Paul Rudd.
The script was initially rejected as having a two-pronged female lead. Director Amy Heckerling was originally in another development studio, and there is a lot of opposition to the fact that the character is a female lead. That meant you had a smaller audience and less money. In addition, in Heckerling’s utopian Beverly Hills, there is no racism, everyone, regardless of skin color, has access to status and money in the movie Clueless, but real life was different and the transformation in the school where the movie was set. . But this controversy seemed to foreshadow the fate of a certain Stacey Dash.
Unfortunately, today is not 1995, and in recent years, Stacey Dash’s career has gone off the rails. Although post-Clueless money landed her roles in TV series such as The Game and Single Ladies, her controversial views and free nature seem to have taken over, setting her apart from her peers in Hollywood.
It’s less common to do than to talk these days. When Leonardo DiCaprio finally won an Oscar for his role in The Revenant in 2016, Stacey Dash attacked him in an essay about his position, the former Clueless star mocking the reception of DiCaprio’s speech, where he discussed the threat of climate change. to repay the offences.
Stacey Dash is now 56 years old and has almost buried his life due to wrong decisions in other aspects of his life.
Stacey Dash seeks redemption with small roles and supports some very difficult positions
All the while, Stacey Dash seems to be criticizing his peers rather than helping them, which certainly doesn’t help the reputation of the industry. This was more than evident when, in the same year, during Black History Month, the war began, star Jesse Williams was compared to the slave plantation of “Grey’s Anatomy”, accusing the material of active racism against white people.
Still, the Clueless star is looking for redemption, and Hollywood seems to be slowly warming up. After the Capitol riots in January 2021, Staci Dash dropped his support for then-President Donald Trump, saying the Daily Mail was “done” and apologizing for his past behavior, seen in some events where people received it lukewarmly. .
