The cast of “Clueless”: Where are they now?

Here's what the actors have been up to since Cher played matchmaker and rocked that plaid suit.

Did the iconic high school comedy Clueless really come out almost 30 years ago? Whatever! Thanks to the fashion-forward costume design, this 1995 movie still looks amazing, and its story is timeless.

A loose adaptation of Jane Austen's novel Emma, the film features Alicia Silverstone as Cher, a materialistic teenager who thinks she can orchestrate everyone else's love lives, — but she’s completely clueless about her own. Set in the fantasy world of Beverly Hills High School, the witty film boosted many of its young cast's careers, including Paul Rudd, Stacey Dash, Brittany Murphy, Donald Faison, and Jeremy Sisto.

Ahead, see what’s new with the cast of Clueless, a movie that could never be forgotten. As if!

Alicia Silverstone (Cher Horowitz)

Alicia Silverstone played Cher Horowitz, a “sporadically” intelligent young woman with a deep closet and a rich vocabulary.

Silverstone's first film role was in the 1993 thriller The Crush. She also appeared in several Aerosmith music videos like “Cryin’” and “Crazy” around that time, but Clueless was her breakout role. Her next major movie was the 1997 superhero blockbuster Batman & Robin, where she played Batgirl.

She made her Broadway debut in 2002 in a stage version of The Graduate. The following year, she starred in the NBC comedy-drama Miss Match, which won her a Golden Globe for Best Actress – Television Series Musical or Comedy. Silverstone soon advocated for plant-based eating and wrote a book about vegan nutrition, The Kind Diet, in 2009. This was paired with a website, The Kind Life, which is still active.

In 2012, Silverstone reunited with Clueless writer-director Amy Heckerling for the vampire comedy film Vamps. She also had a recurring role on the ABC sitcom Suburgatory alongside her Clueless castmate Jeremy Sisto. More recently, she's appeared in The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017), Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul (2017), Book Club (2018), and Bad Therapy (2020).

Silverstone stepped back into her iconic yellow plaid outfit in 2023, reprising her Clueless character in a Super Bowl ad for the online shopping platform Rakuten. She was joined by Clueless costar Elisa Donovan as Amber, re-enacting the film's debate scene.

Reflecting on her connection with her Clueless cohorts, Silverstone told Entertainment Weekly about her notably special bond with Heckerling. “Amy and I have seen each other a lot over the years," she said in 2023. “In fact, not until I was about 30 did we really, deeply reconnect, just because life goes on and you just sort of go about your business. But when the movie kept getting retrospectives, we just came together and we have this special bond, a love and respect for each other."

Silverstone married rock musician Christopher Jarecki in 2005; their son, Bear, was born in 2011. The pair split in 2018.

Stacey Dash (Dionne Davenport)

Stacey Dash played Cher's bestie Dionne, who dazzled audiences with her collection of outrageous hats.

Dash started working in Hollywood in the 1980s, notably appearing in the Richard Pryor comedy Moving (1988). She later worked in the Damon Wayans film Mo' Money (1992) and the Danny DeVito movie Renaissance Man (1994) before landing her breakout role as Dionne.

In fact, she was amazed to secure a gig portraying a teenager in Clueless. "I was 27, and I was playing this high school student," Dash told EW in 2012, "and I had a son at home who was 6 years old." Still, she was a perfect fit for the part, and she continued to star as Dionne for three seasons on the Clueless spinoff sitcom, which aired on ABC and UPN from 1996 to 1999.

Dash appeared in the Kanye West music video for "All Falls Down" in 2004. She later reunited with Clueless director Amy Heckerling in the film I Could Never Be Your Woman (2007). As for television, she had a recurring role on the CW drama The Game from 2009 to 2011 and starred in season 1 of the Queen Latifah VH1 series Single Ladies (2011).

In 2014, Dash became a contributor for Fox News, a position she held until 2017.

Dash's relationship with Silverstone is still going strong. In 2022, they reunited in a sweet TikTok, proclaiming, "Forever Cher & Dionne BFFs."

Dash has two children, a son Austin, and a daughter Lola. She’s been married four times. Her more recent marriage was to lawyer Jeffrey Marty from 2018 to 2020.

Brittany Murphy (Tai Frasier)

Brittany Murphy played Tai, the new girl in school whom Cher takes under her wing, but she secretly falls for the wrong guy.

Clueless was Murphy's breakthrough film, kicking off an impressive but tragically short career. In 1997, she began voicing Hank's niece Luanne on the Fox animated sitcom King of the Hill, contributing to all 13 seasons. In 1999, she played supporting characters in the psychological drama Girl, Interrupted and the comedy Drop Dead Gorgeous.

In 2023, Alicia Silverstone fondly recalled meeting Murphy. "I always remember when she auditioned for the part," Silverstone told EW. "It was the first time I was in a casting room where I was not auditioning. I was just there to help them facilitate chemistry reads. I just remember when she came in and did hers, because when she walked out of the room, I was like, 'You guys! Did you see that?' As if they wouldn't know. They were like, 'Yes, we saw that!' They were excited too, but it was my first time. She was just so good."

Murphy began taking on bigger roles in the 2000s, including the biopic Riding in Cars With Boys (2001), the drama 8 Mile as Eminem's love interest (2002), and the romantic comedies Uptown Girls (2003) opposite a young Dakota Fanning and Just Married with Ashton Kutcher (2003). She also appeared in the crime anthology film Sin City (2005) and played a penguin in the animated musical Happy Feet (2006).

Murphy married Simon Monjack in 2007. She died suddenly in 2009 at age 32 due to uncertain circumstances. The official cause of death was pneumonia, with complications from anemia and intoxication from legal drugs. The following year, Monjack was also found dead at the home they used to share. Like Murphy, the coroner attributed his death to pneumonia and anemia.

Paul Rudd (Josh Lucas)

Paul Rudd played Cher's step-brother Josh, the only character who could call out her self-centered behavior.

Rudd began his career on television with roles on Sisters and Wild Oats before making his feature film debut through Clueless in 1995. He went on to appear in the comedies The Object of My Affection (1998), 200 Cigarettes (1999), and Wet Hot American Summer (2001). In 2002, he joined the cast of the NBC sitcom Friends, as Phoebe's boyfriend Mike.

In the mid-2000s, Rudd began a fruitful collaboration with Judd Apatow, appearing in many of the director/producer’s films, including Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004), The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005), Knocked Up (2007), Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008), and This Is 40 (2012).

Rudd joined the MCU in 2015, starring as the pint-size superhero Ant-Man. So far, he's appeared in five Marvel movies, most recently Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania in 2023. He’s also become a fixture of the revived Ghostbusters franchise, with the latest film, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, premiering in March 2024.

You may have spotted the actor in season 3 of Hulu's hit mystery-comedy Only Murders in the Building (2023) as the murder victim.

Rudd married screenwriter and producer Julie Yaegar in 2003. They have two children, Jack and Darby.

Donald Faison (Murray Duvall)

Donald Faison played Dionne's boyfriend, who irritated her by shaving his head and constantly referring to her as "woman.”

Faison didn't expect Clueless to be as successful as it was. "When we were making the movie, you don't think the movie's going to be good,” he told EW in 2012. “You think, I'm making the next License to Drive. You think this movie's going to be just for teenagers and that's it."

After the film was a hit, Faison appeared in the Clueless sitcom from 1996 to 1999.

Faison costarred in the Denzel Washington feature Remember the Titans (2000) and the comedy Uptown Girls (2003) with Clueless costar Brittany Murphy.

The actor is best known for his starring role as Dr. Chris Turk in the ABC/NBC medical comedy Scrubs, which ran from 2001 to 2010. Following that hit series, Faison led the TV Land sitcom The Exes from 2011 to 2015.

Currently, Faison stars in the NBC sitcom Extended Family with Jon Cryer and Abigail Spencer.

Faison and Lisa Askey were married from 2001 to 2005. They had three children together, Kobe, Kaya, and Dade. He married his second wife, CaCee Cobb, in 2012, and they have two children, Rocco and Wilder. He also has a son, Sean, with ex-girlfriend Audrey Ince.

Elisa Donovan (Amber Mariens)

Elisa Donovan played Amber, Cher's jealous high school rival who popularized the hand gesture for "whatever."

Donovan was another Clueless star who went on to appear in the spinoff TV show from 1996 to 1999. She then moved on to the ABC sitcom Sabrina the Teenage Witch, playing Morgan Cavanaugh in the show's last three seasons (2000–2003).

In 2009, Donovan costarred in the ABC Family TV movie The Dog Who Saved Christmas with Dean Cain and Mario Lopez. She soon appeared in the 2010 sequel and four more direct-to-DVD films over the next five years.

Donovan wrote a memoir in 2021 called Wake Me When You Leave: Love and Encouragement via Dreams from the Other Side.

She married Charlie Bigelow in 2012. The couple shares one daughter, Scarlett Avery Bigelow.

Breckin Meyer (Travis Birkenstock)

Breckin Meyer played Travis, the skateboarding burnout who wins Tai's heart.

Meyer was often recognized following his appearance in the hit movie, telling EW in 2012, "Someone came up to me once and — very serious and teary-eyed — said, ‘I just want you to know that when I saw Clueless and I saw Travis decide to go into a 12-step program, that’s when I decided to get sober.’ There was a part of me that was like, ‘Wow, that’s amazing.’ And there was another part of me that was like, ‘Are you serious? Because I’m pretty sure Travis might have relapsed. But I’m happy you found that.'"

After Clueless, Meyer starred in the comedy films Road Trip (2000), Rat Race (2001), and Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005) while voicing Joseph Gribble on the animated series King of the Hill with Clueless castmate Brittany Murphy from 2000 to 2010. He also played Jon Arbuckle in the live-action Garfield movies (2004, 2006).

Meyer costarred with Mark-Paul Gosselaar in the TNT comedy-drama Franklin & Bash from 2011 to 2014, and he recently appeared in the final season of NBC's comedy-drama Good Girls (2021).

Meyer was married to screenwriter and director Deborah Kaplan from 2001 to 2014. They share two daughters, Caitlyn and Clover.

Jeremy Sisto (Elton Tiscia)

Jeremy Sisto played Elton, the most popular boy in school who misinterpreted Cher's attempts to set him up with Tai.

Sisto followed his Clueless success with parts in the crime thriller Suicide Kings (1997) and the indie drama Thirteen (2003). He also portrayed the title character on the Italian miniseries Jesus (1999).

From 2001 to 2005, Sisto played Billy Chenowith on the acclaimed HBO drama Six Feet Under. In 2008, he joined the long-running NBC police procedural Law & Order, appearing as Detective Cyrus Lupo in seasons 18 to 20.

The actor helmed the ABC sitcom Suburgatory, which ran from 2011 to 2014; in the first season, Clueless star Alicia Silverstone played his love interest.

He currently stars in Dick Wolf’s crime drama series FBI, which began airing in 2018.

Sisto wed actress Marisa Ryan in 1993. Though they separated two days later, the couple remained legally married until their divorce in 2002. He had a daughter Charlie with girlfriend Addie Lane in 2009; the pair married later that year. In 2012, they welcomed a second child, son Bastian.

Dan Hedaya (Mel Horowitz)

Dan Hedaya played Cher's dad, one of the “scariest kinds of lawyers."

Mel Horowitz is one of many supporting roles in Hedaya's career, which includes Blood Simple (1984), The Addams Family (1991), The Usual Suspects (1995), The First Wives Club (1996), A Night at the Roxbury (1998), Dick (1999), and The Crew (2000).

Hedaya is also remembered as Carla Tortelli's ex-husband on the NBC sitcom Cheers, a role he began in 1984. The character later had a short-lived spinoff, The Tortellis, in 1987.

Wallace Shawn (Mr. Hall)

Wallace Shawn played the earnest Mr. Hall, who gives out much better grades after Cher pairs him with Miss Geist.

Shawn and André Gregory wrote and starred in the unusual 1981 comedy-drama My Dinner with Andre, which consists of a single conversation over dinner. He is also well-known for playing Vizzini in The Princess Bride (1987) and voicing the dinosaur Rex in the Toy Story franchise since 1995. In addition to Clueless director Amy Heckerling’s 2012 comedy Vamps, he’s also landed roles in The Incredibles (2004) and Marriage Story (2019).
