I so agree that you have to “be a mother, and not a friend”.

I’m sure her children will grow up happy and healthy.

Good catch. All those other movies though before Walk the Line! :)

In 1999 Jim Carrey was in Man on the Moon, two different movies.
Definitely a bad choice of wording with “shot to fame”. Reese has been one of the most popular actresses long before 2006. Yes, 2006 was a huge year for her and certainly upped her profile. But, it is insulting to say that until 2006 she wasn’t being taken seriously.

I wouldn’t think anyone who has an IMDB filmography dating back to ’91s Man in the Moon with Jim Carrey “shot to fame” for an award in 2006.
Certainly ’98s Pleasantville, as well as ’99s Election and Cruel Intentions may not have been as serious of roles or as big box office draws, but they were nothing to sneeze at. Follow that with appearances in Friends, ’01s huge draw with Legally Blonde as has been mentioned, then many others not limited to Sweet Home Alabama, The Importance of Being Earnest, Legally Blonde 2, Vanity Fair, Just Like Heaven . . .
I think it’s kind of insulting to say she shot to fame in 06 when she’d already had other box office successes and other serious roles as well. Besides, shot to fame kind of has the connotation of quick success, when she had plenty of roles in the ’90s working her way up – Jack the Bear, Far Off Place, Wildflower . . .

I think it would be so weird to call your daughter by your old surname though!

It also happens with Reese the volley ball (?) star.

I don’t necessarily see Walk The Line as her “shooting to fame,” as she was famous for her role in Legally Blonde and possibly Cruel Intentions before then. Walk The Line did establish her as a serious actress, I think, with her winning the Academy Award and all.

Anyway, I love Reese and her approach to motherhood. And her kids are just way too cute!

I saw this interview and Reese’s facial expressions to describe her son’s “non verbal communication” was hilarious! I hope she knows that Deacon isn’t the only child out there that does that!!
