Comm. 4 - Thou Shalt Find Humorous Supporting Characters
	For the part of Courtney, Christina's best friend, "Cameron really wanted to feel a connection to someone, like she had known her since kindergarten," says Konrad. "Christina and Courtney are in every scene of the movie together. That energy of friendship had to come through." "When Christina Applegate came in and read with Cameron, they had so much fun," says Kumble. "They were doing improv, trying different things that friends would do. You could really see that connection happening." "Christina Applegate has perfect comedic timing and she's so witty and quick," explains Diaz. "She is just constantly coming up with great moments, just grabbing them out of the air. She is such a great actress. "I think we get everything that we really need from our female relationships," says Christina Applegate, "and those are just the kinds of relationships that I thought of when I read the script. I looked at the script and thought, 'Oh, my God, that's me and all of my girlfriends.' It is just so real. It's great with Cameron and I being able to finish each other's sentences and just knowing what she is feeling and playing off of that." And then there is Selma Blair for the role of Jane Burns. "She was a harder part to cast, because-well let's just say a lot happens to Jane Burns," says Konrad. "And so whoever was going to be Jane had to be fearless, not be ashamed to try anything. Our answer was Selma Blair. She's a fearless girl, and she's wonderful." Kumble, who had directed Blair previously in Cruel Intentions, says, "I knew that she would be the right person to play Jane, because she'll do anything. And we get her into some screwed-up situations in this movie, so to speak." "I'm really happy that I got a part that's as funny as Jane," comments Selma Blair. "I loved this script. It makes no apologies, and I think that's great. It's a little bit spicy without trying to hurt anybody's feelings. It's just great fun."
