It turns out that the Bend andSsnap wasn’t always in the script, as writers Karen McCullah and Kirsten “Kiwi” Smith recently revealed in an interview.
While Reese Witherspoon has had a long and impressive career, there is perhaps no role quite as iconic for her as Elle Woods in Legally Blonde.
In fact, the move itself came from a drunken night at a bar, and Smith came up with the move on the spot.
One of the most quoted scenes from Legally Blonde is the Bend and Snap sequence, where Elle teaches her friend Paulette (Jennifer Coolidge) and everyone at the salon the one physical move guaranteed to get you a first date.
