America’s #1 lawyer, Elle Woods, built an empire. Not only did Woods spite her ex-boyfriend by earning a Juris Doctor degree in Legally Blonde in 2001, she went on to inspire a Legally Blonde sequel, TV series, musical, and, in 2020, a Legally Blonde 3, which will continue to star Reese Witherspoon as Woods. The film franchise never went away, but it’s getting a cultural resurgence thanks to Witherspoon’s Big Little Lies character, Madeline Mackenzie, basically being a carbon copy of Elle Woods. The rumor is that the real big little lie is that Mackenzie will pull off her mask to reveal she was Woods all along. Big Little Lies needs a new plot, so I like to believe this conspiracy.
