Want to know how lucky Reese Witherspoon is? As one of the highest paid actresses in all of Hollywood after being plucked from obscurity when simply doing some background work with friends, Reese is on cloud nine.

In her interview, Witherspoon talks about why she thinks she got to be so lucky and how she built her portfolio up from there, from Election all the way to Walk the Line.

Reese talks about her newest film, Water for Elephants and the “hordes” of girls chasing around costar, Robert Pattinson at UKScreen.com.
