On to Paramount and box-office success

When the details were worked out of who will play which part, casting director Carrie Frazier got a call that it was going over to Paramount, and they wanted her to work on it for no money. She could not do that.

When Clueless eventually did land in the hands of producer Scott Rudin and Paramount Pictures, Marcia Ross took over as casting director, which started a second attempt to cast Clueless.

During the opening weekend in July 1995, the film played in 1,653 theatres across America and proved to be a hit.
