CLUELESS star Twink Caplan, who played the bubbly Miss Toby Geist in the hit 90s film, has resurfaced for the first time in five years.
The actress, now 77, was spotted running errands near her Los Angeles home on April 25.
Dressed in cargo pants and a flannel shirt featuring photos of a donkey, Twink carried a stuffed crocodile and a robot shark as she stepped out of grocery chain Erewhon.
Three decades after the hit film, she still sported her signature red hair.
Twink last acted in an uncredited role for the 2020 Quibi show Royalties starring Darren Criss and directed by Clueless showrunner Amy Heckerling.
In her last interview that same year, Twink reflected on her iconic role as the quirky teacher set up by Cher (Alicia Silverstone) and Dionne (Stacey Dash).
"It moves me to think that I would move anybody or that they would like me that much," she told Today in July 2020.
She also loved Miss Geist's romance with Mr. Hall, played by Wallace Shawn.
"When they found each other, it completed them. And it was genuinely kind of pulling your heartstrings," she gushed.
"Oh, what a great time in life," she said of the film's popularity in the 90s.
"It was so pure and happy. And the jokes were amazing.
"But it was a time where all the characters loved each other. They were real friends. And they were rooting for each other.
"That's what's so wonderful about Clueless: it was happy.
And I think you get happy when you watch it because there's no enemy. There's no bad guy."
CLUELESS IS BACK
Last week, news broke that actress Alicia, 48, is bringing back Clueless as a Peacock sequel series.
She will also serve as an executive producer, along with original film director Amy Heckerling.
It is unclear if Twink will reprise her role for the reboot.
She did, however, play Miss Geist again on the Clueless TV series, which ran from 1996 to 1999 on ABC and then UPN.
The original Clueless took the world by storm when it hit theaters in 1995, catapulting Alicia and the other teen stars including the late Brittany Murphy to fame.
The movie even has caught the attention of a much younger generation, as Kim Kardashian and daughter North, 11, dressed up as Cher and Dionne for Halloween in 2023.
