She Thought Brittany Murphy Was Adorable
When Silverstone first met her on-screen bestie, Brittany Murphy, she was charmed by her bubbly nature and adorable accent. She prayed Amy would cast her for the part. There were a bunch of girls auditioning that day for the role of Tai, the awkward “ugly duckling” who slowly transforms into a confident swan in the film.

Alicia rushed to Amy that day crying, “I think she’s the one! She was the best one you guys!” hoping her words would make a difference. Luckily, Amy spotted Murphy’s talent too. She told Silverstone, “Uh yeah duh. Of course, she was the best, she’s the one.”
