When \u201cLegally Blonde\u201d first came out, I was ready to write off Elle Woods for similar reasons many first- and second-wave feminists dismissed Marilyn Monroe. Gloria Steinem spoke at length about her early presumptions about Monroe in a 2006 interview, admitting that one of the few films in her life that made her walk out of the theater was \u201cGentlemen Prefer Blondes.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cI was embarrassed by her because she was a joke,\u201d Steinem told Gail Levin, who directed a documentary about the screen icon for \u201cAmerican Masters.\u201d \u201cShe was vulnerable. She was so eager for approval. She was all the things that I feared most, being a teenage girl.\u201d Only much later in life did Steinem, who wrote a biography about Monroe, realize her initial disdain wasn\u2019t the actress\u2019 fault. Monroe was simply playing the part assigned to her by a patriarchal society, capitalizing on a male-approved artificial creation that made her a star.<\/p>\n

Elle Woods, as Reese Witherspoon originated her, posed a similar psychological obstacle for me, only the challenge was getting me into<\/em> the theater as opposed to keeping me there. She\u2019s everything I wasn\u2019t and never would be:\u00a0 aggressively pink, fluffy and wrapped in an impenetrable privilege that appeared to reward her ditziness. But I reluctantly gritted my teeth and joined whichever friends selected \u201cLegally Blonde\u201d as that week\u2019s movie pairing with dinner \u2013 and against all expectations, emerged from the darkness a full-throated fan of its stealthy genius.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cLegally Blonde\u201d sets up Elle to be underestimated by everybody, including the audience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Twenty-five years after \u201cLegally Blonde\u201d introduced Elle Woods to the world, she\u2019s raised several generations of women and redeemed a terrible stereotype long cemented into American popular culture. Several, actually. Years before \u201cBarbie\u201d stormed movie houses, Elle was the subversive answer to whether a woman\u2019s love of makeup, pastel colors, skirts and heels negated her feminism. Where Monroe was a golden goddess whose beauty camouflaged pain and shadow, Elle is a creature of hidden depths illuminated by an inner sunshine, all of which is clearly visible to any who bothers to take a closer look.<\/p>\n

We first meet her in her inner sanctum, her extremely girly bedroom in the depths of her extremely girly sorority, Delta Nu.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s nearly at the end of her college days and assumes she\u2019s sailing into the post-graduate world as the fianc\u00e9e of her boyfriend, Warner Huntington III (Matthew Davis), the smug Ken doll to her bright-eyed Barbie. At the dinner where she thinks he\u2019s going to pop the question, Warner blindsides her instead when he announces he wants to break up. He\u2019s on his way to Harvard Law School, he explains, the first step in his plan to enter politics. And if he\u2019s going to be a senator, he says, he needs to lock down a Jackie O. \u2013 not a Marilyn.<\/p>\n

People cite a lot of moments from \u201cLegally Blonde,\u201d but that line quietly tips its hand about Elle\u2019s superpower. Monroe\u2019s personal legacy is like a charm bracelet hung with more unsubstantiated rumors than genuine facts, but one undeniable trait was her thirst to defy the world\u2019s expectations. She never finished high school, but compensated for her incomplete education by devouring books and absorbing ideas. To break out of the \u201cdumb blonde\u201d mold into which the Hollywood studio system pressed her, Monroe employed Paula Strasberg to be her acting coach and taught herself to sing by listening to the jazz greats of her era. A recent Prospect article marking what would have been her 100th birthday, which was June 1, describes Monroe as \u201can autodidact who made it.\u201d That also sums up Elle Woods.<\/p>\n

Then again, not even Elle thought of herself that way while she was still reeling from the news that she would not be graduating with her MRS., as her Bel Air parents intended (and, many years later, right-wing podcasters are advising young women to do). Instead, she does a hard pivot and decides that if Warner is looking for wife material at Harvard Law, she is just going to have to get into that Ivy League leadership factory and win him back.<\/p>\n

\u201cLegally Blonde\u201d sets up Elle to be underestimated by everybody, including the audience, although the movie drops small hints from the very start that perhaps everyone misjudges her at their peril. It\u2019s a small moment in a designer dress boutique, where a clerk assumes she\u2019s another Bel Air brat with daddy\u2019s credit card who can be hoodwinked, only to have Elle sweetly explain why she can tell that the dress the clerk is trying to pawn off as new and exclusive is cheap and from last season. \u201cSo if you\u2019re trying to sell it to me for full price,\u201d she says nicely, \u201cyou\u2019ve picked the wrong girl.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elle knows this because she studies fashion magazines with the same riveted attention she devotes to preparing for the LSATs, so she can score the 179 she needs to qualify for admission consideration. What puts her over the top is a video essay that shows her floating in her pool while wearing a sparkly bikini and striding down the street while claiming she uses legal jargon in everyday life. To wit, a man catcalls her as she walks past and she yells, \u201cI object!\u201d<\/p>\n

The gobsmacked roomful of old professors who see this decide to let her in for the sake of adding diversity.<\/p>

\u201cLegally Blonde\u201d is ridiculous and certainly imperfect, to put it mildly, when viewed from an inclusivity perspective. The diversity line is a solid joke, even now, but the movie\u2019s blinding whiteness was tough to ignore even a quarter of a century ago, when homogenous casting in major studio comedies was the norm.<\/p>\n

But the story still holds up all these years later because Elle Woods never tried to be anything other than herself. OK, the fact that Jennifer Coolidge steals the show also helps, as does the stunning cuteness of Buster the teacup chihuahua, along with the evergreen pizazz of the bend-and-snap sequence.<\/p>\n

All these are adorable accessories to the character\u2019s brave insistence on betting on herself in a world of naysayers set on diminishing her brightness. Elle Woods is a lighthouse in the murk of sexist cultural opinion and legislation bent on driving women out of positions of power and influence, and trying to condition young women to equate femininity and desirability with submission and dependence on a man.<\/p>\n

Elle may be a rich girl from Bel Air, but she\u2019s also kind and compassionate, even toward the women who men like Warner and her lecherous professor, Aaron Callahan (Victor Garber), try to pit against her. She\u2019s privileged but never above helping someone like Coolidge\u2019s Paulette to reclaim her self-respect \u2013 and her beloved bulldog \u2013 from the abusive, diminishing ex who kicked her out of the trailer they once shared.<\/p>\n

\n

The story still holds up all these years later because Elle Woods never tried to be anything other than herself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

When Elle wants something, she figures out a way to get it and comes by her success honestly and with nobility. And when, in a particularly demeaning moment at a law school mixer, Warner tries to tell her she isn\u2019t smart enough to win an exclusive internship position, she puts him in her place not just with words, but with action. \u201cWait, am I on glue, or did we not get into the same law school?\u201d she asks, quickly figuring out from there that the real competition she\u2019s in isn\u2019t a game to win his or any man\u2019s approval but a contest to see just how much she can succeed, for the sake of her own satisfaction.<\/p>\n

Once Elle has succeeded at everything, including winning an acquittal for a sorority sister accused of murder, Warner reappears and hands her the declaration of love she originally wanted when she followed him to Harvard. \u201cOh, Warner! I\u2019ve waited so long to hear you say that!\u201d she coos happily. \u201cBut if I\u2019m going to be a partner in a law firm by the time I\u2019m 30, I need a boyfriend who\u2019s not such a complete bonehead.\u201d She\u2019s not giving up her bridal dreams, but she\u2019s absolutely done being played for a fool.<\/p>\n

Amazon\u2019s recently debuted \u201cElle\u201d prequel series seeks to capture the essence of what made \u201cLegally Blonde\u201d superb, but unfortunately stumbles into a puddle of high school tropes that dilute the radiant joy Lexi Minetree tries to recreate as the younger Elle.<\/p>\n

Maybe the setup itself is the problem: It relocates the Woods family, out of necessity, from sunny Southern California to a sunny Southern Californian\u2019s nightmare concept of Seattle in the 1990s \u2013 a place where it always rains and everyone wears black and exudes disdain. Chronologically speaking, this is the first time in Elle\u2019s life that her rosy outlook and zealous reverence for Cosmopolitan are powerless to melt the Seattle freeze. That is a real social phenomenon, by the way, but nowhere as farcical as it\u2019s depicted here.<\/p>\n

More disappointing is watching a role held aloft by Witherspoon\u2019s charisma and unsinkable pep be submerged in attitudinal gloom despite Minetree\u2019s best efforts.<\/p>\n

But the road to the Elle Woods who graduates at the top of her law school class, storms Capitol Hill and inspires a Broadway musical has to start somewhere. And perhaps we\u2019re even meant to be guided by the character\u2019s philosophical compass, the one that comforts her onlookers to demonstrate what it looks like to never lose faith in people while always having faith in yourself \u2014 and trusting others will come around to believing in you, too.<\/p>
