Reese Witherspoon only wants roles that represent her true self–even if it costs her work.
The strong-willed “Legally Blonde” star tells teenhollywood.com she thrives on playing powerful women, although her Type-A persona has led casting directors to reject her for certain roles.
“I could never portray anybody mousy or unassertive, or that typical starlet persona,” she says. “I believe in the strength of women. Because I know that women can do practically anything!
“There are certain roles I don’t get, because they say, ‘Oh, she’s not vulnerable enough.’ But I say, ‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!’ “
