Alicia Silverstone: Arousing Alicia

https://lebeauleblog.com/2021/06/30/alicia-silverstone-arousing-alicia/

Alicia Silverstone rose to fame as a teenager propelled by Aerosmith music videos and the surprise hit comedy, Clueless. Overnight success lead to opportunities to produce her own movies and supporting roles in major movies like Batman & Robin. As quickly as Silverstone’s career heated up, it also cooled off. This cover story from the May 2004 issue of Movieline magazine came at a time when Silverstone was starring in a low-rated television series and returning to the big screen with cameo roles.

Parked outside Alicia Silverstone’s trailer on the set of her NBC series Miss Match is an eco-friendly Toyota Prius hybrid, which is not surprising, given the 27-year-old vegan actress’ well-publicized views on animal rights and the environment. On the car’s back window, someone has scrawled “Watch me, please.”

This makes sense, for although Miss Match has been well-received by critics–Silverstone was even nominated for a Golden Globe for her turn as the divorce attorney-by-day, matchmaker-by-night Kate Fox–ratings have been less than spectacular.

Oh, wait, the window says: “Wash me, please.” This makes even more sense because the car’s covered in dust.

Bad auto hygiene. It’s just one more thing to find adorable about Alicia Silverstone. Though her 12-year career has had its highs–Clueless, those Aerosmith videos–and lows–Batman & Robin, anyone?–one thing has remained relatively consistent. People just seem to like her.

TODAY IS THE LAST DAY OF SHOOTING for the season on Miss Match. Dressed in her outfit for tonight’s wrap party–jeans, a rocker T and black Stella McCartney jacket–Silverstone stretches out on the sofa in her trailer and reflects on this chapter of her life. “It’s sad, and I had weird dreams about it last night,” admits the actress, who made a brief return to the big screen in Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed and will join Queen Latifah in the Barbershop spinoff movie Beauty Shop. “But I’ve had the best time. I love playing Kate Fox. She’s so romantic and excited by life and those are things that I absolutely relate to. I want people to feel all gooey inside.”

Mission accomplished.
