She is an icon and I can only say she is a consummate professional and so kind to everyone and completely disciplined. When you are ready, she is ready." Reese Witherspoon, actress "Working with Meryl - Wow! I've been lucky enough to meet her socially, so I knew she was a doll. She is honestly the nicest person, so lovely and gifted, but also a wonderful mother and completely down to earth."
