“I used to get stopped all the time and would hear, ‘Are you on “West Wing”?’ I was like, ‘No,’ ” said Witherspoon, who finally met the Broadway, film and TV actress at an awards show.





“I realized I had seen her in ‘Wicked’ and so I was like, ‘Oh, wouldn’t it be fun if we got to play sisters?’ And turns out she’s just the sweetest, nicest little country girl from Oklahoma. So when this came up, we asked her to do the movie and she said yes,” Witherspoon said.
