Blonde and blue-eyed actresses, Brittany Snow and Reese Witherspoon, could be sisters if we saw them walking down the street together! Even though they were born ten years apart, Reese’s youthful appearance and perky personality make it hard to believe that she’s the older one of the two. However they both have in common that they have a birthday in the month of March - Brittany was born on March 9, 1986 in Tampa, Florida and Reese was born on March 22, 1976 in New Orleans, Louisiana. They both share a petite frame, a heart-shaped face and blonde hair and blue eyes - and they both started out their show biz careers as child models!
The Big Break
When Reese was seven years old, she modeled in a florist’s television commercial and when Brittany was three she started to act in commercials. This experience led them both to love performing. Brittany got her big break when she was 12 as Daisy Lemay in the soap opera Guiding Light and stayed in the role for three years until she landed a role on American Dreams as Meg Pryor. Reese got her big break at the age of 14 when she auditioned for the movie Man in the Moon and got the lead! They’ve both also stretched their acting talent to singing - Brittany in Hairspray and Reese in the movie Walk the Line as the country singer June Carter Cash. Both actresses have been steadily working in the Hollywood film industry since their early teens and both live in Los Angeles. We wonder if they run into each other at Starbucks!

Charity Work
Both actresses are very active in doing charity work for children’s and women’s rights. Reese Witherspoon is an advocate of Save the Children and The Child’s Defense Fund while Brittany is a big supporter of LoveisLouder.com - a movement against bullying. We look forward to seeing what new movies both actresses are coming out with next year! Maybe they’ll be in a movie together someday - Brittany lists Reese as one of her favorite actresses so you never know!
