Reese Witherspoon Started Her Own Company Because Women ‘Deserve Better’ From Hollywood

Reese Witherspoon is a woman who leads by example. Two years ago, she started her own production company after seeing six of her favorite actresses “fighting over a really crappy role in a movie,” she told journalists at the annual Oscar Nominee Luncheon Monday in Los Angeles.

“I feel like I really fought for this movie to get made. And it was hard. But it’s so rewarding. All those days hiking up mountains and crossing freezing rivers carrying equipment,” Witherspoon said. “It feels very hard-won. I get more emails and letters about this film than any other movie I’ve ever made.”
