“They cut that scene. They just couldn`t get Judge Judy on board,” Ubach said. And I was like, `Reese, what if Ryan Phillippe played a really famous judge who had his own show, and we had him on the billboards?` She said, “Alanna, no one will believe my husband is a judge. Do you want me? The oral history revealed another legally blond hope: Judge Judy. With Alanna Ubach, the actress who played one of Elle`s best friends, Serena, and called the TV judge “an incredible icon who loves Her,” writers Smith and McCullah were hoping for scenes where Elle, Serena and Margot “chase Judge Judy wherever she taps her show, and they say, `Judge Judy! Judge Judy! Can we get an autograph? Both funny and challenging, Ms. Woods` observation against patriarchy exposed us to a whole new understanding of feminism (and proper monitoring of permity). Here we were introduced to a heroine on screen, blonde, beautiful and impeccably dressed, but she was also much more than that. She was hardworking, a loyal friend and much smarter than people thought. Not to mention the incredible funny – his response to Warner`s condescension “Did you go into Harvard right?” remains one of my favorite cinematic comebacks of all time. If there`s one thing the film is known for, it`s Elle Wood`s Harvard recording video. In contrast to anything the college`s admissions authority had seen so far, they stood out for their rather unique argument as to why they should accept them. and in a little-known anecdote, it seems that Judge Judy almost appeared there.

“We wanted to see [She, Serena and Margot] pursue Judge Judy wherever she presents her show, and they say, `Judge Judy! Judge Judy! Can I get an autograph? ” revealed screenwriter Karen McCullah. However, the scene was never included in the final cut. What for? Because they “couldn`t get Judge Judy to participate.” MGM was a struggling studio when Legally Blonde came out, and given that it`s a wellness comedy made with an $18 million budget, a ton wasn`t necessarily expected. Instead, Legally Blonde became one of the biggest hits of 2001. He made his budget in the back, then a game with $20 million on his opening weekend, and he ended up with $141.7 million worldwide. Ali Larter, best known for Varsity Blues or Heroes, was invited to play one of Elle`s sisters. Then she read the script and desperately wanted the role of Brooke Taylor-Windham, the fitness trainer on trial for murder. Apparently, everyone was on board, because that`s the role she played in the end. Although still relatively young, Witherspoon was already characterized by her role as Tracy Flick in Election.

It wasn`t good, as the executives confused the actress with Tracy, and Tracy wouldn`t be a fit for the role of Elle. Witherspoon had to go through series of auditions for the role, and she also had to meet with the studio head to prove to him that she wasn`t Tracy Flick. Anything but editorial use. Direct promotion of a product or service, advertising, advertisements, electronic resale items such as templates and wallpapers, album covers, packaging, print-on-demand products and prints for resale are prohibited. “The first script was, to be honest, very slippery, American Pie style,” she told the Times. “He went from non-stop Zingers, who were very mature by nature, to this universal story of overcoming adversity by being yourself.” Fans weren`t so impressed to learn that some of the other proposals were rejected, but given that Donald Trump later revised Elle`s farewell speech for his own presidential purposes, it`s probably safe to say that not everyone objected to the film`s ending. The writers had included a scene in which she manages to make Judge Judy appear in her video essay for Harvard. However, they failed to get Judge Judy to star in the film, so the whole idea was dropped. The final ending, which turned out to be one of the most difficult decisions, wasn`t the first they filmed either. Originally, things were supposed to end outside the courthouse when Elle and Emmett shared their first kiss.

The audience felt that the story wasn`t about Elle finding a friend, and the comments said it was too much of a romantic comedy ending, so the writers added the closing speech instead. It took them a while to figure out the ending of Legally Blonde. The first ending, which included a big kiss between Elle and Emmett and a cut a year into the future, failed with the test audience.
