Bio
We told that Ava is the exact copy of her mother. The actress, in her turn, looks like Betty, her parent. The two women are very close and spend every free minute together.
Mary Elizabeth Reese saw the world for the first time in the family of Emmett and Laura Reese (the actress’s real name was given after her maternal grandmother). To the moment of her marriage to John Witherspoon, she served as a nurse. Later the woman entered the university and got the title of a professor. For many years she taught nursing at Vanderbilt University.
Betty, as her relatives call her, is officially married. But she lives separately from her husband since 1996. She is retired now and spends a lot of time with her grandchildren. Her kids and grandkids often come to her home for Christmas. And Betty serves her homemade tasty pie.
