If that's your least favorite scene, what is your favorite scene?

RL: I love so many scenes for so many different reasons. I remember having so much fun filming that dog scene with Josh [Miller, who played Louise's brother Richie] in the bathtub because we couldn't stop laughing. In fact, you can see that I'm trying not to laugh while he's panting like a dog. I also love the scene where everyone keeps interrupting her "date" with Brad. And I love the opening scene; although that was really painful because I had to free-fall onto guys holding their arms out, so my poor chest was bruised. Oh, and I loved those dance scenes; "The Finest Hour" was so much fun.

The half-shirt is just one example of the incredibly '80s wardrobe. Which looks stand out to you?

RL: That's hard because I was actually a big fan of a lot of the clothes I got to wear in that movie. In the cafeteria montage, I wear this Western-themed outfit and I remember thinking at the time, Oh, that was cute. I wish I had saved that for a longer scene. You have to love the "Finest Hour" dress, that's a classic.

This is actually something no one knows, but my mom was really the one who created the entire style for Teen Witch. I'm dead serious. She was super involved, and is super creative, so I wore a lot of my actual clothes in the movie. Truly, Louise was my mom's vision. She really created an iconic character.

Why do you think Louise, and the film, have become so iconic?

RL: I honestly don't know. When we filmed it, none of us had any idea what we were doing was special. We had no idea. It was just a great movie that we all enjoyed. And then, it just sort of took on a life of its own.

The film did not do well at the box office — were you disappointed?

RL: No. I had no expectations. To be honest, I was surprised it even had a theatrical release.

When did you first realize the film was gaining a cult following?

RL: I'll tell you when it really hit me: In the early '90s, I went to a party with Jason Priestley, who I was dating at the time. We went to a party at Ricki Lake's house, and she freaked out when she saw me. She's like, "Oh my gosh, you're Teen Witch! My gay best friend and I love your movie. We know every line, all the dance moves, all the songs." That's when it was still on VHS, and she literally started singing "Top That" and "Most Popular Girl." It was crazy. That was really the first time I realized it had resonated with people.

Have you attended any of the big screenings fans organize?

RL: Yeah, a bunch of years ago, someone invited me to a midnight screening of it in at this Santa Monica theater, and I didn't know what to expect. I wondered if anyone would even show up. Well, I was floored to see that people didn't just come, but they came in costumes! They were dressed like me, singing along to all the songs; you would have thought I was rock star.

Like you were Shana [the rock star Louise emulates]!

RL: Yes! Exactly! And, after that, I kept doing them. I distinctly remember one in San Francisco. At the very end of that show, this guy comes up to me and immediately gets teary-eyed. He says, "You have no idea how you and this movie changed my life." And I really didn't have any idea. The movie took on a whole new meaning for me at that point because I never looked at it as something that could actually have an impact on people, and that's one of the reasons I love it so much.
