Many happy returns to the multi-talented multi-hyphenate Reese Witherspoon who turns 48 years old today! From her notable entry into movies in Robert Mulligan’s final film The Man in the Moon, to the double whammy in 1996 of supersexy Fear plus blackly comedic fairytale Freeway, she really made heads turn with Election, the stunning comedy from Alexander Payne. As she tells it herself that made her difficult to cast and it was a few years before she hit Academy Award territory with Walk the Line and her brilliant take on June Carter Cash. The typical post-Oscar slump ensued which coincided with her divorce from Ryan Philippe and then there were the movie love triangle years. With her own production company she produced Gone Girl and starred in Wild, projects based on female-driven books she championed through her company Hello Sunshine, now a media conglomerate. Nowadays pretty much the TV boss, from Big Little Lies to The Morning Show, this woman goes from strength to strength. Happy birthday Reese Witherspoon!
