Biography:As one of the most impressively talented members of the emerging New Hollywood of the early 21st century, "Reese Witherspoon" has proven that she can do far more than just pose winsomely for the camera. Born March 22, 1976, in Nashville, TN, Witherspoon was a child model and acted in television commercials from the age of seven. She had a part in the 1991 Lifetime cable movie "Wildflower" before making her 1991 film debut in the coming-of-age story "The Man in the Moon" (1991). The 14-year-old Witherspoon made an immediate impact on critics and audiences alike, netting widespread praise for her portrayal of a tomboy experiencing love for the first time.

While still in high school, Witherspoon completed two more feature films, "Jack the Bear" (1993), starring "Danny De Vito", and Disney's "A Far Off Place" (1993), which required the actress to spend several months living in the Kalahari Desert.... Full Biography
