Reese Witherspoon Biography

Laura Jeanne Reese Witherspoon (born March 22, 1976) is an Academy Award winning American actress, who has established as the highest-paid actress of Hollywood in recent years.

Witherspoon landed her first feature role as the leading actress in the movie The Man in the Moon in 1991. Her performance received positive reviews, which became a motivation for her to continue an acting career. Witherspoon's performance in Freeway in 1996 established her as a rising star, and led to roles in three major movies Overnight Delivery, Pleasantville and Twilight in 1998. In 1999, Witherspoon appeared in the critically acclaimed Election, which garnered her first Golden Globe nomination. 2001 saw her breakout role as Elle Woods in the box office hit Legally Blonde, and in the following year, she starred in Sweet Home Alabama, which became her biggest commercial success to date. In 2005, Witherspoon received worldwide attention and praise for her portrayal of June Carter Cash in Walk the Line, a role that earned her an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Actress.

Witherspoon married actor Ryan Phillippe in 1999 and has two children, Ava and Deacon. She and Phillippe separated at the end of 2006 and divorced in October 2007. Witherspoon is known for her work in child and woman advocacy organizations; she serves on the board of Children's Defense Fund and is the first Global Ambassador of Avon Products's charity.

Witherspoon was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, into a middle-class family. Her father, John Witherspoon, is a Georgia-born otolaryngologist who previously served as a lieutenant colonel in the US Army reserves. Her mother, Betty, is a Ph.D pediatric nurse from Harriman, Tennessee, who works as a professor of nursing at Vanderbilt University. Witherspoon is a direct descendant of Scotland-born John Witherspoon, the sixth president of Princeton University and a signatory of the United States Declaration of Independence. Because Witherspoon's father worked for the US military in Wiesbaden, Germany, she lived there for four years as a small child. After returning to the United States, she settled and spent her childhood in Nashville, Tennessee, where she was raised in the Episcopalian religion.

Rachel Bilson Biography

Rachel Sarah Bilson (born August 25, 1981) is an American actress. After growing up in a California show business family, she made her television debut in 2003 and subsequently became well-known for playing Summer Roberts on the prime time dramedy series The O.C. Bilson made her film debut in the 2006 film The Last Kiss, appeared as "Lou" on the NBC show Chuck, and will star in the 2008 thriller Jumper.

Bilson was born in LA, California to a Jewish American father, writer/director/producer Danny Bilson, and a Philadelphia-born Italian American mother, sex therapist Janice Stango. Her father comes from a show business family; her great-grandfather, George Bilson, was the head of the trailer department at RKO Pictures, while her Brooklyn-born great-grandmother, Hattie Bilson, was a screenwriter and her grandfather, Bruce Bilson, is a film director. Bilson's parents divorced during her childhood, and in 1997, her father remarried Heather Medway, an actress and the mother of Bilson's half-sister Hattie (born December 19, 2001).

Bilson has been noted as having a "self-destructive, rebellious period" during her teen years. When she was thirteen, she and a group of her brother's friends were involved in a car accident, a head-on collision with another car. As a result, Bilson was unconscious for a few days, had a scar above her right eye, and sometimes suffers from migraines and memory loss; she has stated that the experience "changed" her, encouraging her to "stop... getting into trouble" and stopping her from "going down that road".

Bilson graduated from Walter Reed Middle School in 1996 and from Notre Dame High School in 1999. During her time at Notre Dame, she appeared in productions of Bye Bye Birdie, Once Upon a Mattress and The Crucible, and appeared on stage together with Katharine McPhee, who attended the same school and would later be a finalist on American Idol.

Bilson attended Grossmont College in San Diego, but dropped out after one year, taking her father's advice to pursue a professional acting career and making several appearances in commercials, including advertisements for Raisin Bran and Pepto-Bismol. She made her screen acting debut in early 2003, appearing in episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter, and in the short film, Unbroken. Bilson was subsequently cast in The O.C., which debuted in August of 2003. Her character, Summer Roberts, was initially intended to appear in only a few episodes, but became a series regular after a successful run, as Bilson's on-screen romance with Seth Cohen (Adam Brody) became a noted aspect of the series.
