Reese Witherspoon Wants Her to Daughter to Grow Up Seeing Complex & Interesting Women in Film

“I just recognize that about three years ago, I started seeing this complete lack of interesting female leads in film,” Reese told the Washington Post. “First I got mad, really mad. And then I was like, ‘It’s nobody’s fault; if you’re not proactive about things…’”

She continued, saying: “I’d had a company before, but it was basically about trying to develop things that I would eventually be in. So I just switched the idea: If I can develop anything for any other women, I don’t care who it is; I just want my daughter to grow up seeing complex, interesting, nuanced women in film. So I started it with my own money.”

FYI: Reese is wearing a Talbots sweater.
