After winning a ten-state talent search, Reese began to
receive recognition for her acting and modeling abilities.
At the age of fourteen, she landed her first lead acting
role in Robert Mulligan's The Man in the Moon. This role
in particular kick-started Reese's film career, and soon
after, she found herself starring in two more made-for-TV
movies: 1991's Wildflower and Desperate Choices: To Save
My Child one year later. Upon completion of high school,
Reese began receiving offers to appear in higher caliber
films, including Jack the Bear (alongside Hollywood heavyweights
Danny DeVito and Gary Sinise) and Disney's A Far Off Place,
both of which were released in 1993. The following year,
Reese decided to put her acting career on hold for a little
while, and enrolled in Stanford University to major in English
