Editorial Reviews

Product Description
She's an Oscar-winning actress, a devoted mother, and a down-to-earth Southern belle. And she's only thirty years old. In this fascinating biography of Reese Witherspoon, Lauren Brown chronicles Witherspoon's participation in local talent shows, her Hollywood debut, and her Academy Award for Best Actress. Brown also highlights the actress's emphasis on maintaining her values in an industry that often has none. Laura Jeanne Reese Witherspoon was astonishingly ambitious from a young age. By seven, she appeared in commercials and was already taking adult acting classes. In 1990 she earned her first starring role in the film Man on the Moon, and suddenly Hollywood took notice. Brown delves into Witherspoon's decision to put a hold on her acting career to pursue an education — a hold that couldn't last when the scripts kept rolling in — her work with her production company Type A, and, of course, her high-visibility relationship with Ryan Phillippe, whom she met at her 21st birthday party. The first-ever biography of the star, Reese Witherspoon gives fans a close-up look at Hollywood's golden girl.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and inspiring read, October 28, 2007
Reading this well-researched bio made me want to watch all the Reese movies I missed, and it gave me a whole new appreciation for her career and character. I recommend it to anyone who's enjoyed her work.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good bio of a great person, May 19, 2009
I love Reese Witherspoon. More than that I respect her as a person. I have seen most of her movies and a number of TV appearances and bios. This book is interesting to read and seems to give a good account of her young life up to age 31. It includes some insights I had not seen before. It would have been better if Reese had wanted to share her thoughts and feelings and had given some extensive personal interviews to quote.
