Keeping it going: The performer has made a habit of sharing throwback photos to her Instagram account, and posted a shot that was taken when she was seven years old earlier this month

Earlier this month, the actress shared a shot of her sitting with a group of her classmates during a class photoshoot, where she was seated in front of all of her fellow students.

The performer wrote a brief message in the post’s caption that read: ‘Even at 7, she had a plan.’ 

In March, she also posted an image showing her in a Girl Scout’s uniform to her account and wrote that she had sold the most cookies for her troop. 

Witherspoon was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, although she was later raised in Nashville, Tennessee.

She was selected to appear in a local advertisement at a very early age, which spurred her to begin taking acting classes.

The performer went on to study English literature during a brief stint at Stanford University, although she later gave up her studies in favor of starting a career in the entertainment industry.

Witherspoon later took her first leading role in the 1991 coming-of-age film The Man In The Moon, where she portrayed a 14-year-old girl who gradually falls in love with her neighbor.

Big dreams: Although the actress initially attended Stanford University, she later dropped out of the institution to pursue a career in the entertainment industry; she is seen at the 1994 premiere of True Lies

The feature was released to positive critical reception, with several reviewers pointing to the actress’ performance as one of the project’s highlights.

She later went on to appear in supporting roles in various films throughout the 1990s and took on notable parts in movies such as Pleasantville and Best Laid Plans.

Although she quickly encountered success in her acting efforts, Witherspoon became concerned about being typecast, and her career went into a slight slump, from which she later recovered.
