Elisa Donovan From 'Clueless': Where is She Now?
By Lillian Marx
Elisa Donovan was pretty much immortalized back in 1995, when she delivered an absolutely classic line in the teen movie Clueless. Who would have thought that “Whatever” could be turned into one of the most memorable retorts of a decade? But that moment, when Amber makes a “W” with her hands and delivers her one-word comeback, is forever burned into the collective pop cultural psyche. Still, Elisa Donovan is hardly stuck in 1995. Here’s what the actress has been up to since then.

Elisa rode out the '90s in style, playing Ginger in Beverly Hills, 90210, Morgan in Sabrina The Teenage Witch, and Cambi in the Will Farrell/Chris Kattan comedy A Night at the Roxbury. Those credits are all iconic, but depending on your priorities, you might reasonably conclude that Elisa’s greatest achievement was her appearance in NSYNC’s 1999 music video for “Thinking of You (I Drive Myself Crazy).”
Moving into the new millennium, the actress snagged a role on The WB’s web series The Lake and starred in the NBC web series In Gayle We Trust. She also had a recurring role as Belinda in a series of films that included The Dog Who Saved Christmas, The Dog Who Saved Christmas Vacation, and The Dog Who Saved the Holidays, among others. Definitely time to revisit those.
As far as her personal life goes, Elisa married Charlie Bigelow in 2012, and later that year the couple had a daughter, Scarlett Avery. You can check out some super sweet pictures of Elisa and Scarlett Avery on Instagram, plus keep an eye on everything Elisa is up to.
