The story of a beautiful blonde navigating high school as a popular student was a sleeper hit that ended up grossing $56 million in the US alone. "Clueless" was loosely based on Jane Austen's novel, "Emma." The movie's immense popularity led to a TV spin-off series that ran for three seasons. And in 2015, it was the inspiration for Iggy Azalea's music video for her hit song, "Fancy."
