Description from the publisher

For the next First Roles discussion, we’ll be looking at *Clueless* (1995), the sharp, stylish teen comedy that helped define 1990s pop culture and introduced audiences to **Paul Rudd in his big‑screen debut**. (Like a book club, participants should watch the film before attending the discussion.) In *Clueless,* Paul Rudd makes his big-screen debut as Josh — the thoughtful, quietly funny character that introduced audiences to the charm and dry humor he would become known for. We’ll also look at how the film showcases **Alicia Silverstone** in her breakout performance as Cher Horowitz, a role that cemented her as one of the decade’s most recognizable stars. In addition, *Clueless* features one of **Brittany Murphy’s early film roles**, offering a glimpse of her emerging talent before her later rise in the early 2000s. Together, we’ll examine how these early performances shaped the careers of actors who went on to become major cultural figures, and how *Clueless* itself redefined the teen‑comedy genre. Whether you’re revisiting a favorite or seeing it for the first time, this conversation will dig into the film’s cultural impact, character dynamics, and the beginnings of three memorable careers.
