Welcome to The Alicia Silverstone Picture
Pages! This site truly contains only high quality scans of
Alicia, so you can stop searching for Alicia Silverstone pictures
from now on! For those new to the site, my philosophy on exactly
what constitutes 'high quality' is found here.
Be sure to check out all three picture galleries to your left.
Alicia Silverstone was born on October 4,
1976, in San Francisco, California as the youngest of three
children to parents Monty Silverstone, a real-estate investor,
and Didi Silverstone, a former flight attendant. Alicia's
career began at the tender age of six when her dad, Monty,
took some photos of his young daughter. The photos allowed
her to get some modeling gigs which then led to television
commercials. After a guest spot on The Wonder Years
(1988) as a literal "dream girl" she moved on to
movies. She landed a role in The Crush (1993), a sort
of Fatal Attraction for teenagers in which she portrayed a
disturbed young lady obsessed with an older man. The nasty
little role didn't impress the critical establishment but
it wowed its target audience of teenagers. In fact, the role
won her the 1994 MTV Movie Award for "Best Villain"
and "Breakthrough Performance." It is interesting
to note that during the filming of The Crush, Alicia
became an emancipated minor in order to get around child labor
laws which would have interfered with her working hours. She
was a dedicated actress from early on.
The Crush also caught the attention
of Aerosmith, who hired her to appear in a string of their
music videos. The first of them, "Cryin'" was voted
the number one video of all time on MTV. Silverstone was definitely
a hit with the MTV crowd, but larger commercial success had
still eluded her. That all changed when she landed the role
of Cher in Amy Heckerling's Clueless (1995). The Cher
character was the antithesis of her role in The Crush.
This time around Silverstone was a naive yet endearing girl
from Beverly Hills in search of love in the nineties. The
film was a huge sleeper hit at the box office and wowed both
audiences and critics alike. It also demonstrated Alicia's
strength and bankability. She was hailed as the woman of the
hour, and branded the spokeswoman for an emerging young generation.
She signed a deal with Columbia Tristar worth $10 million
and got the coveted role of Batgirl in the Batman franchise.
Also, as part of the package, she got a three-year first-look
deal for her own production company, First Kiss Productions.
The first film released by First Kiss was Excess Baggage
(1997) which received very muted reviews.
Two of my favourite Alicia pictures are here
and here, although the quality
of the scans is very low. The pictures are from Alicia's appearance
in Dolly and I would appreciate any higher-quality
versions!
