Reese Witherspoon

Her first role was in the made for television movie Wildflower, followed by several moderately successful family oriented comedies and dramas in the early to mid 1990s, and then the teenage thriller Fear, where she became something of a teen idol. Witherspoon emerged as a young woman in Election, as an obsessive, stressful, vindictive, and overachieving teenage girl determined to win everything she sets out to do. Witherspoon acquired her breakout role in Legally Blonde, as a fun-loving blonde, a role she reprised in a sequel.
