"It's taken me 25 years, but this is my first day at Harvard!"
"What, like it's hard?"
"From the time I was 6 or 7 years old, I'd get all the kids on the playground to all act in a story I wanted to tell,"

Reese Witherspoon built Hello Sunshine into a powerful creator of women-centered movies and television and achieved a partial sale that earned her $900 million. She combines acting, producing, and entrepreneurship to reshape Hollywood opportunities for women. Witherspoon began storytelling at age six or seven by organizing playground plays and exercising leadership by persuading peers to participate. Early career challenges included doubts from MGM over her suitability for Elle Woods and an unusual audition requirement to remain in character while visiting the MGM building. Elle Woods remained a source of inspiration and joy, and iconic lines continued to resonate with audiences.
