It's hard to believe it, but Clueless, the seminal comedy that perfectly captured teenage life, has just turned 25, making it several years removed from high school graduation.

In the subsequent two and a half decades, Clueless has achieved near classic status, but writer and director Amy Heckerling still remembers the many times producers and executives passed on the story of a girl named Cher. The film was initially in development at Fox before it was put in a turnaround.
