Gina Wilhelm Actress - Renee Zellweger's One and Only

Renee Zellweger is starring in "My One and Only," which opened in theaters on Friday.

The movie tells the fictionalized story of George Hamilton at age 15 traveling across country with his brother and his mother, who is played by Zellweger.

She tells Newsday that the modestly budgeted movie was able to get the Oscar winner because of the quality of the script and the time was right in her life.

She said she also thought it seemed like a movie she'd like to see herself.

"The character is so much fun, and it felt right for last summer. I thought, 'I wanna go and be this lady this summer and discover what her experiences might be like.'"

She also revealed that she didn't initially understand her iconic line from "Jerry Maguire," "You had me at 'hello.'" Cameron Crowe had her do several different takes of the line.
