What, like it's hard? Newcomer Lexi Minetree put in the work to play a teen Elle Woods in 'Elle'

Lexi Minetree, a newcomer, auditioned for the role of a teenage Elle Woods in a 'Legally Blonde' prequel series for Prime Video. She prepared extensively by recreating the Harvard admissions video from the original film and studied Reese Witherspoon's performance without imitating her directly. The series explores Elle's journey as she navigates high school in 1995 Seattle, facing judgment for her personality and style while learning to embrace her true self. The show aims to address modern issues like societal expectations and the impact of social media on young women's mental health, reflecting themes from the original film.
