The 40-year-old actress was only 19 when the film was released and she said she had a tough time handling it, reported Variety.
"I was young and I thought it was really overwhelming and it was really intense. I did a bunch of movies, and then nine movies later, I did 'Clueless.'
"When it's like, 'That's Alicia Silverstone!,' everywhere I went, it was a lot for a little person. But then life goes on and you figure it out," Silverstone said.
"One studio said no to it, they didn't think anyone was interested in watching a movie about a young girl. Those people now kick themselves that they were not part of that film. They were like, 'We don't think anybody is going to care. It's not going to sell tickets'," she said.
