Sandra Bullock Biography
Sandra Annette Bullock was born in Arlington, Virginia on July 26, 1964. This part German and Alabamian was raised in Arlington. Being the oldest of two children, Sandra, her baby sister and their mom used to travel to Europe often because her mom was a renowned opera singer.
After having completed high school, Sandra attended East Carolina University majoring in drama. Since Sandra knew that fame wasn't simply handed to a person, she decided to jump start her career and, with the approval of her parents, she left University before acquiring her degree, packed up and moved to New York.
Once she arrived in the Big Apple, Sandra didn't waste any time and enrolled in intensive acting classes whilst simultaneously holding a bartending job. She was a bartender for three years after that while she worked hard at achieving her dream of becoming an actress. Sandra went to every casting call and audition she could.
Sandra got herself an agent and began acting in television with the role of a beautiful bionic woman in the 1989 show entitled Bionic Showdown: The Six-Million-Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman.
After her stint on television, she moved to LA and landed her first starring role in NBC's adaptation of the movie Working Girl. Unfortunately, the show only lasted for six episodes, in which case, Sandra had to resort to holding various odd jobs.
Trying hard to boost her career, she took a role in the 1992 film entitled Love Potion No. 9 . Even if the film did not reach incredible heights or land her other bigger movie roles, it did introduce her to Tate Donovan, her boyfriend for the three years that followed.
As she slowly began making her way into mainstream, Sandra managed to land herself five film roles in '93. Her most noticeable film of that year, however, was Demolition Man with co-stars Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes. Although her part in the film was not that of epic-proportion, producer of the film, Joel Silver, introduced her to his friend and colleague, director Jan De Bont. De Bont gave Sandra the female lead in the action movie Speed alongside Keanu Reeves. Speed launched her popularity intensely, which led her to star in movies like While You Were Sleeping and A Time To Kill, where she began earning a seven digit salary.
A few years later Sandra began her own production company called Fortis Films. Her first project was Hope Floats, and even though it only achieved a minimal amount of success, her career came back in full force when she starred opposite Nicole Kidman in Practical Magic.
Sandra then lent her voice to The Prince of Egypt, and in 1999 Sandra starred in the romantic comedy Forces of Nature, opposite Ben Affleck and 28 Days in which she plays a recovering alcoholic.
Proving to be a master of physical comedy, she starred as Miss Congeniality in 2000, and was next seen in the 2002 thriller Murder By Numbers. She can also add Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, co-starring Ashley Judd, and the romantic comedy Two Weeks Notice, to her already long filmography.
