Here's a story that’ll make your heart melt. In the world of Hollywood, friendships can come and go, but sometimes, you find something truly special. That’s exactly what happened between Big Little Lies stars Reese Witherspoon and Laura Dern. These two aren’t just co-stars or even just friends—they’ve built a bond so strong, it feels like family. Reese opened up about their incredible connection in a recent interview, and it’s everything you’d hope for from two powerhouse women in the industry.
During an interview for the April 2020 issue of Vanity Fair, Reese, 43, expressed her deep admiration for Laura, calling her more than just a friend. "You know, you meet people, you’re friends with people, but there are a few women in my life who are my sisters. I don’t have a biological sister, but I’ve found my sister in Laura," Reese gushed. "No one makes me laugh like Laura. She’s magical. She’s just one of those people who lights up any room she walks into." It’s clear that for Reese, Laura isn’t just a colleague—she’s family.

Laura, 53, feels just as strongly about Reese. In the same Vanity Fair interview, the Marriage Story actress shared her thoughts on Reese, saying, "Reese is a miracle. She’s the gold standard of what it means to be a champion. She has always been a champion of art, other artists, friends, and family. But what truly sets her apart is her relentless drive to ensure that women are not only honored for their voices and skills but also given fair compensation for their work." Laura’s admiration for Reese goes beyond her professional achievements—it’s about the values she brings to the table and the positive impact she has on others.

Why Reese is a Role Model in Hollywood
Laura didn’t stop there. She elaborated on why Reese is so respected in the entertainment industry. "Because of her, so many other women in positions of power have followed suit," Laura explained. "As an only child, finding family has always been very important to me. And the fact that I have Reese in both areas of my life—personal and professional—is truly a blessing. She’s someone who makes you feel like you’ve known her forever, and she’s always there to support and uplift those around her." It’s clear that Laura values their friendship deeply, and it’s a relationship built on mutual respect and admiration.
Reese and Laura’s friendship isn’t just limited to their professional lives. When they were on a press tour together for Wild, Laura revealed why she never gets tired of spending time with Reese, even after long days of work. "You know someone is your favorite person when you’ve done a full day of press, listened to yourself ad nauseam, listened to them tell every story, and at the end of it, you’re still like, 'Are we going to eat something?'" Laura joked to The New York Times in March 2017. It’s a testament to how effortlessly their connection flows, even after spending so much time together.
