Reese Witherspoon is an American actress and producer. She made her acting debut in The Man in the Moon (1991). Witherspoon rose to prominence in 1999 with Cruel Intentions and for her portrayal of Tracy Flick in the black comedy Election, which earned her a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture Comedy or Musical nomination. She achieved notoriety for her work in romantic comedies with her role as Elle Woods in the comedy Legally Blonde (2001) and its 2003 sequel, as well as her starring role in Sweet Home Alabama (2002). She won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of June Carter Cash in the 2005 biographical musical film Walk the Line. She also received an Academy Award nomination for her performance in the 2014 drama Wild.

Witherspoon became a leading actress in the television series Big Little Lies (2017–2019) (winning the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Limited Series as an executive producer), the Apple TV+ drama series The Morning Show (2019-present), and the Hulu miniseries Little Fires Everywhere (2020).
