The 78-year-old star had a prolific career in the late ’80s and early 2000s, taking on quirky roles alongside Alicia Silverstone and Kirstie Alley.
It is none other than the beloved movie star Twink Caplan.
The star was dressed in a pink T-shirt, black trousers and a multi-coloured jacket with checks and a print while shopping this week.
Her tousled, fiery red locks peeked out from under a black baseball cap during the outing.
She completed her casual look with a pair of black loafers as she was spotted pushing a cart at Bristol Farms.
In 2020, Caplan celebrated the 25th anniversary of Clueless, in which she played the exhausted high school teacher Miss Toby Geist.
She shared heartfelt reflections on the film’s enduring popularity and the affection she continues to receive from fans.
Appearing on the Today show, she admitted that the lasting impact of her role still surprises her.
“It moves me to think that I would move someone or that they would like me that much,” Caplan said at the time.

Caplan attributed the film’s success to its casting, particularly praising Silverstone, who led the ensemble as Cher Horowitz.
‘There’s no one [else] in the world who could have played this role because she was so beautiful and so naively approachable and so kind and funny,” she explained.
She also shared fond memories of late actress Brittany Murphy, who played Tai, and recalled how her charm stood out during auditions.
“We kept her in the room for other people’s auditions because she was just lovely, such a sweet girl,” Caplan recalls.
The on-screen romance between Miss Geist and Mr Hall (Wallace Shawn) remains one of her film highlights.
‘When they found each other, it completed them. And it really tugged at your heartstrings,” she said.
Caplan also reflected on her longtime collaboration with director Amy Heckerling, who based Miss Geist on one of her own childhood teachers.
“This movie that she wrote and directed was so amazing and it took all the actors into the stratosphere,” she said. “And she’s so loved.”
