Reese Witherspoon was born on March
22, 1976 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Her father was a military doctor,
so the Witherspoon family traveled during most of Reese's childhood
before settling in Nashville, Tennessee.
Although Reese did some modeling and
local commercials as a child, she didn't expect to become an actress.
She recalls "I had always just accepted that I would be a doctor
of some sort." But when she was fourteen, she heard that some extras
were needed for a movie that was filming near Nashville, went to
the audition, and ended up winning the lead role of Dani Trant in
the film, The Man in the Moon. The movie won rave reviews
from critics, and she was then cast in a few made-for-TV movies,
and went on to leading roles in Jack the Bear and Disney's
A Far Off Place.
Since then, Reese has starred
in many quality films alongside A-list actors. She can most recently
be seen in The Importance of Being Earnest, with Frances
O'Connor and Rupert Everett.
Reese lives with her husband, actor
Ryan Phillippe, and their daughter, Ava, in Los Angeles.

Horoscope
| "Being a Southern person and a blond; it's not a good combination. Immediately, when people meet you, they think of you as not being smart."
"Many people worry so much about managing their
careers, but rarely spend half that much energy managing their lives.
I want to make my life, not just my job, the best it can be. The
rest will work itself out."
