The movie “Legally Blonde” (2001) is one of the most popular and iconic movies of all time. Frequently on cable TV, during the entire 25 years since it was released. The original movie starred Reece Witherspoon as Elle Woods, a young woman who was rejected by her cruel and stupid boyfriend and tries to get into Harvard Law School to win him back.

One of the best parts of this very good movie is Elle’s resilience, which at first enabled her to start out badly at Harvard and then fight back to become a top student. Elle was so different than all the other Law students at Harvard, which caused a great deal of resentment from several egomaniac law students, angry that someone like this got into their school. This was yet another challenging problem that Elle had to overcome. Despite all the problems, Elle keeps her extremely positive personality and continues to wear pink, traveling almost everywhere with her tiny Chihuahua, Bruiser, and refusing to try to be like everybody else.

The most surprising thing about the new Amazon Prime Series “Elle”, is that it took 25 years to come up with a great idea like this – following Elle’s life in the mid 1990’s while she was still in high school.
