Her bubbly Blonde role as Elle Woods spawned a sequel that earned the petite powerhouse a $15 million paycheck! But it was her portrayal of June Carter Cash in Walk the Line that nabbed her a Best Actress Oscar just days before her 30th birthday.
That year of triumph ended in sadness when her seven-year marriage to Cruel Intentions costar Ryan Phillippe (with whom she has two children) fell apart. But Witherspoon picked up the pieces, dating Rendition costar Jake Gyllenhaal, for two years, before giving marriage a second chance with Holl
ywood agent Jim Toth. The couple welcomed son Tennessee James in Sept. 2012, but faced legal woes shortly after, when both were arrested and jailed for suspicion of driving under the influence and disorderly conduct.
