Happy Birthday, Reese Witherspoon!

We've been watching this movie star since the age of 15 when she acted in her first film, The Man in the Moon. Today, the talented actress celebrates her 38th birthday!

Spending more than half of her life in front of the camera, let's take a look back at some of the many roles that made us fall in love with this leading lady!

In 2006, Reese won an Oscar and Golden Globe for her outstanding performance in the film Walk the Line. And who could forget Legally Blonde, the quotable movie that had us slightly obsessed with her character, Elle Woods?

After 23 years in show business, we predict that the award-winning actress is nowhere near retirement! In the next year alone, she stars in three films: Devil's Knot, The Good Lie, Inherent Vice and Wild. Talk about busy! We hope that for her birthday, the hardworking actress enjoys the special day off!
