Amy Adams says she looks up to contemporary Reese Witherspoon. The 43-year-old actor said it was Witherspoon's decision to back Big Little Lies under her banner, Type A, that inspired her to executive produce new HBO drama Sharp Objects.

"Reese inspires me all the time. She's such a go-getter. I like wake up and take my time. I always imagine she wakes up with like, a list. She's just ready to go, but she's inspired me in her role as producer and creator for a long time," Adams, who also headlines "Sharp Objects", told El News.
