During an interview with Forbes last year, Warren said that she is ‘very proud to have been in something that.’
She continued, ‘I always say that the advent of television is what pushed Clue into the minds and the hearts of people in a way that the movie, when it opened, didn’t do, really.
‘It had this cult momentum that was astounding. People are so in love with it. It makes me so happy. Professionally, I’m not sure that it has actually affected my professional life.’
And in regards to her character of Miss Scarlet, Warren told CBS, ‘What I love about Miss Scarlett, she takes no s***. It was a great chance to kind of explore all of that behavior.’
While the movie was not a box office success upon its release in theaters, the film has since developed a cult following.
