Reese Witherspoon: $8 Million Dollar Girl

Hard on the heels of the box-office success of the comedy, "Legally Blonde," Reese Witherspoon has set up an $8 million deal for a dramatic role as a tennis pro who may be past her prime at 24.

The movie does not yet have a director -- or even a title.

Witherspoon's character -- who cracked under pressure while playing in the U.S. Open -- is keeping body and soul together as a club pro at a ritzy resort. She meets a younger, more glamorous pro who is making tons of money from commercial endorsement, but not making the most of her game -- a character that may remind some sports fans of Anna Kournikova.
