As pop punk bards Bowling For Soup put it in their song "High School Never Ends": "Reese Witherspoon, she's the prom queen." Since her debut in the coming-of-age romance The Man in the Moon in 1991, Reese Witherspoon has been one of Hollywood's premier movie stars. While mostly known for romantic dramas and comedies, the best Reese Witherspoon movies see her stretching her creative muscles into the realm of thrillers, sci-fi fantasies, and even action. In 2001, Witherspoon cemented her stardom with the blockbuster Legally Blonde, with her role as Elle Woods becoming a millennial icon. In 2006, she won an Oscar for her portrayal as country singer June Carter in James Mangold's Walk the Line.
