Sandra Annette Bullock was born in
Arlington, Virginia on July 26, 1964. Her mother being a German opera
singer she was raised, in part, in Nuremberg. While in Germany for her
mother's operas, she would sometimes perform small parts, usually
playing the part of a gypsy kid in the background. Sandra and her family
moved back to Virginia when she was ten years old.
In 1982 she graduated from Washington-Lee High School, where she was
voted "The girl most likely to brighten up your day". After
high school she majored in Drama at East Carolina University in North
Carolina. She then moved to New York to pursue a career in acting. She
worked as a waitress, went to auditions, and tried to get herself
established in the acting field. She got a role in the TV version of
"Working Girl", co-starring with Nana Visitor but she hated
every minute of it, and was glad when it was cancelled.
She moved to Los Angeles, and got a job as a supporting role in the
made-for-TV movie, "The Preppie Murder" with William Baldwin.
But after making several smaller budget films (Fire in the Amazon, Who
Do I Gotta Kill, etc) she replaced Lori Petty as Sylvester Stallone's
partner in the futuristic action/sci-fi flick, Demolition Man. In this
film, she gained a bunch of fans, and nice addition to her resume.
This helped get Sandra the part in Jan de Bont's directorial debut film,
Speed, which also starred Keanu Reaves and Dennis Hopper. Speed was a
huge success, grossing over 120 million dollars at the box office. In
this film she stole the show from the larger stars and became a star
overnight, although she missed most of the hoopla, as she was in Europe,
promoting the film.
Sandra then moved on to the hit, While You Were Sleeping, which was
carried by her now-well-known name. While You Were Sleeping was a hit,
bringing in 85 million, and showed that she could be very funny.
After WYWS, came The Net, and recently she starred in Two If By Sea,
which brought in disappointing reviews, and didn't stay at the theaters
for very long.
