If you ever wondered how Reese Witherspoon channeled Elle Woods' courage and conviction in Legally Blonde, it might have come from past experience. Yep, even this Southern belle was told her looks couldn't cut it in Hollywood.

"You have to be focused and tough because it takes a tenacious personality to deal with rejection," Witherspoon told the Daily Mail in 2011. "When I first came here (to LA), all I heard was, 'No, not right–not tall enough, not pretty enough, not smart enough.'"

How'd she get through it? By simply not giving a you-know-what. "I didn't really care about their opinions," she admitted. "I'm stubborn." Well, thank God for that.
