- Reese Witherspoon spoke about her longtime friendship with fellow actress Alanna Ubach while promoting new Apple TV limited series ‘Lucky.’

- Witherspoon is an executive producer of the crime thriller, while Ubach appears on screen.

- The women previously costarred in the 1996 movie ‘Freeway’ and in 2001 hit ‘Legally Blonde.’

Reese Witherspoon has a lot of love for on-screen sorority sister Alanna Ubach.

Known for work on *Euphoria*, Ubach has appeared onscreen with Witherspoon for decades, costarring in the 1996 film *Freeway* and then the 2001 hit *Legally Blonde*. She teamed up with Witherspoon again this year for an episode of a show Witherspoon produced, Apple TV’s *Lucky*.

“Alanna Ubach is my girl,” Witherspoon told *Entertainment Tonight** *at Tuesday’s premiere of the crime thriller. “We’ve known each other since way back. Before we did *Legally Blonde*, we did a movie called *Freeway* together. And she’s my girl. I love her.”

Witherspoon made sure to compliment her friend’s acting.

“Love her in *Euphoria*,” the Oscar winner said of Ubach. “She’s always got my back. We just love each other.”

They play friends — although very different sets of them — in both *Freeway *and *Legally Blonde*.

In the first, a twisted take on *Little Red Riding Hood* from 1996, their characters become friends in prison, where Witherspoon’s teenage Vanessa Lutz has been sent after defending herself from Kiefer Sutherland’s villainous Bob Wolverton. She and Ubach’s Mesquita make their escape together.

Blockbuster *Legally Blonde* pairs the two as besties, with Ubach as Serena, one of the Delta Nu women who cheer on Witherspoon’s Elle Woods no matter the odds, even when she’s presenting her big court case. (Jessica Cauffiel plays Margot, the other.)

Ubach has long said that she’s on board for more *Legally Blonde* if it comes up.

Just last month, she told PEOPLE that her response to an offer to be in a much-discussed *Legally Blonde 3* is, “I’m there.”

On crime thriller *Lucky*, the tone is, well, less pink.

Starring Anya Taylor-Joy, Annette Bening, Timothy Olyphant, and Clifton Collins Jr., the limited series depicts Taylor-Joy as Lucky, a con artist on the run from both the FBI and a crime boss.

The first two episodes of *Lucky* are available on Apple TV, with new ones coming out on Wednesdays.
