Sandra Bullock Sandra Bullock was
born on July 26th, 1966, in Arlington, Virginia.
Sandra is a veteran superstar actress. She is the
eldest daughter of her father John, a voice coach
and Pentagon official, and mother Helga, an opera
singer. Sandra and her sister, Gesine, lived a
number of their childhood years in Nuremberg,
Germany. She and her sister spent endless hours
listening to their mother perform. Sandra not only
developed a deep appreciation for opera, and also
learned to speak fluent German.
It was an exciting
time in her young life, and perhaps it was seeing
her mother up on stage that influenced her to become
a performer herself. When Sandra was eight, she had
her first taste of a stage performance when she
played the role of a gypsy child in a play with her
mother. Her mother Helga says that by the time
Sandra was in sixth grade, she had already set her
mind on acting.

Sandra's family moved
back to the United States when she was around ten
years old. Sandra was an ugly duckling, and was
teased mercilessly by her schoolmates. Instead of
becoming resentful however, she vowed she would
never treat anyone the way she had been treated, and
her generous and kind qualities manifest themselves
in both her personal and professional lives.
Sandra went on to
become a cheerleader at Washington Lee High, being
voted "Most Likely to Brighten Your Day"
by her senior class. After high school graduation,
she continued her education, at East Carolina
University, where she majored in Drama. During this
time, she helped support herself by entering and
winning dance contests, a passion that has stayed
with her. Sandra dances at every possible
opportunity, and it has been said that if she ever
gave up acting, she could easily take up dance as a
second professional career. After graduation from
East Carolina, it was off to New York with her life
savings, dog and meager possessions to seek her
career.
Sandra bartender
and waitressed between auditions and acting classes.
Her persistence finally paid off when she got the
lead in the off-Broadway play "No Time
Flat". Sandra received glowing reviews for her
work in the off-Broadway play, and this led to the
TV movie "The Bionic Showdown", opposite
Lindsay Wagner. The only worthwhile things that came
from this work, was the professional experience and
an Actors Guild union card. Sandra moved to Los
Angeles where she got the role of a spunky cop in
the Sylvester Stallone sci-fi action film,
"Demolition Man". This was a role that
drew the attention of director Jan De Bont, who cast
her in the hit movie "Speed", practically
making her an overnight success.
The two mega hits,
"The Net" and "While You Were
Sleeping" followed, sending Sandra on a
skyrocket ride to A-list status and a hefty increase
in her paycheck. The success of these films made it
possible for her to start her own cinema production
company, Fortis Films. Sandra appointed her sister
Gesine, a graduate law student as executive
vice-president, and her father John, as her business
advisor. |
