When actress Elisa Donovan landed the part of Amber, the Beverly Hills fashionista, in “Clueless,” it was her first feature film role. Thirty years later, Elisa joins me to talk about her experience making the now-classic teen comedy and why it’s had such staying power. We discuss the magical chemistry between the costars; how wardrobe breathed life and depth into her character; director Amy Heckerling’s keen eye and kindness on set, and how the movie rewrote the rules on what you could do in a comedy. Oh, and her now-husband had never seen “Clueless” when they first met!
