Reese Witherspoon Talks About "Walk the Line"

Reese Witherspoon has become such a familiar face in romantic comedies lately that it's easy to forget she's delivered terrific performances in dramas and darker comedies in the past. But her portrayal of June Carter Cash in "Walk the Line" (which is already generating rave reviews) is sure to remind people there are other sides to the star of such romantic comedies as "Legally Blonde," "Sweet Alabama," and "Just Like Heaven."

While promoting her role in "Just Like Heaven," Witherspoon talked a little about taking on the role of Johnny Cash's wife in 20th Century Foxs' "Walk the Line" starring Joaquin Phoenix (pictured with Reese Witherspoon) and directed by James Mangold ("Identity"):
