Finish up your Snapple because it’s time to take an emotionally-charged tour through Reese Witherspoon’s career and filmography with writer and person Anne T. Donahue! Follow us as we travel down the Oscar-winning actress/producer’s many roles and career paths before we reach our final destination: her raw, riveting performance in Jean-Marc Vallée’s 2014 film WILD. Can we talk about Reese’s fearless commitment to Cheryl Strayed’s story about grief, loss, addiction and perseverance without making a pit-stop to address the Andrea Arnold / Big Little Lies controversy? Also, when is Reese going to do Anne’s book, NOBODY CARES, for her Book Club?
We Really Like Her! is produced by Danita Steinberg and Emily Gagne, edited by Danita Steinberg, with a theme song by Emily Milling.
