45. Reese Witherspoon
Reese Witherspoon is consistently cited as one of the most influential actors working in Hollywood by magazines all over the world. She is regarded as a significant role model for young women. Witherspoon made her film debut in the character of aspiring young lawyer Elle Woods in the comedy Legally Blonde, which established her as a future star.
Reese Witherspoon’s influence, on the other hand, extends far beyond her acting roles, as she raises funds for women’s and children’s advocacy organisations that assist those who are in desperate need of assistance. Even as her acting career stagnated, Witherspoon re-emerged in the spotlight with her role as a character in Little Fires Everywhere, a television series set in a suburb outside of Cleveland, Ohio.
