August 25, 1994 –
ABC TV introduced everyone to Angela Chase and the students at Liberty High School when My So-Called Life starring, Claire Danes, Jared Leto and Wilson Cruz, premiered on this date.
Before Claire Danes auditioned for the role of Angela Chase, a then-unknown Alicia Silverstone was the favorite for the role. Casting director Linda Lowy said that the “decision got tough” when the crew realized they would be choosing a 13-year-old over Silverstone, who was 16 and “emancipated,” meaning she could work longer hours.
