Christina Applegate almost did the Bend and Snap.
The "Vacation" star told ET Online that she could have played Reese Witherspoon's Elle Woods (http://www.etonline.com/news/168855_christina_applegate_regrets_turning_down_le gally_blonde/) in "Legally Blonde." But the actress was hesitant to play another ditzy blonde following her "Married … with Children" character Kelly Bundy. "The script came along my way and it was right after I had just finished 'Married,' and it was a blonde who in that first script didn't win it but ends up going to Yale, or Harvard, I don't remember," Applegate said of the 2001 movie. "I got scared of kind of repeating myself."
While Appelgate says Witherspoon "deserved" the part and "did a much better job" than she ever could, she does sort of regret her choice. "What a stupid move that was, right?" she told ET Online. But Applegate wasn't the only '90s TV star in mind for the role. Tori Spelling (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=2014/02/26/legally-blonde-trivia_n_4847361.html) was also considered to play Elle Woods, and Chloë Sevigny turned down Selma Blair's role as Vivian.
