Actress Lexi Minetree, playing the lead in the upcoming series ‘Elle,’ shared her audition experience where she recreated a famous scene from a well-known movie. The show serves as a prequel to ‘Legally Blonde,’ featuring Reese Witherspoon. Lexi, who bears a striking resemblance to Witherspoon, impressed with her audition tape.
For the audition, Lexi had to film a 30-second clip explaining why she would be a good fit for the character of Elle Woods. Rather than taking the easy route, she decided to recreate the memorable Harvard admission video from the movie. This involved buying a pink bikini, scripting the scene, filming with her mom’s help, and adding music to make it stand out.
‘Elle’ is set in 1995 and follows a young Elle Woods as she navigates the challenges of high school, including friendships, first love, and personal growth. The series, created by Laura Kittrell and Caroline Dries, boasts an impressive lineup of executive producers, including Reese Witherspoon. Scheduled to debut on July 2, 2026, on Prime Video, ‘Elle’ promises to offer a fresh perspective on the beloved character.
