With the recent announcement of a potential Legally Blonde 3 film, it isn't difficult to recount the infamous journey of the franchise's protagonist, Elle Woods, who, following the original Legally Blonde film in 2001, became a symbol of feminine power, wit, and class. By 2018, Elle Woods has become so iconic that the reason her ex-beau Warner broke up with her in the first place seems all the more outlandish: "I need to marry a Jaclyn. Not a Marilyn." Or, as more concisely put in Legally Blonde: the Musical, "Less of a Marilyn, more of a Jackie."
