Reese Witherspoon
stars in this romantic comedy, the feature film debut of award-winning
Australian director Robert Luketic. As a ravishing Miss Hawaiian Tropic,
sorority president, and calendar girl, Elle Woods (Witherspoon) is a big hit
on the campus of her sun-drenched Los Angeles college. She's also got the
perfect boyfriend in Warner Huntington III (Matthew Davis), a wealthy East
Coast blue blood. Fearing that his snooty friends and family will never
accept the bubble-headed Elle, however, Warner dumps her before heading off
to graduate law school at Harvard University. Determined to win back her
man, Elle enrolls in the same imposing institution, quickly becoming an
object of scorn and ridicule, especially to Warner's old prep school flame
(Selma Blair). Despite her penchant for malls, makeup, and tanning, Elle is
no dummy and is soon showing elite Ivy League snobs a thing or two about
class, self-confidence, and courtroom victory.

Vivian
Kensington
Vivian is a stuck-up, bitchy Harvard law-student who plays Warner's
fiancé. From the first day of school Vivian finds Elle a ditz and goes out
of her way to be rude towards Elle. In the middle of the movie she finds out
she respects Elle and warms up to her, which results in a new friendship.

Selma
says
"In Legally Blonde, I put on a pair of pearls and a big diamond ring and
automatically I'm Vivian Kensington."
"f I have fans they're like 7 year-old girls that I'm like signing their
lunch boxes 'cause they saw Legally Blonde or something. So that's
kind of my fan base."
