Biography
S
Sandra Annette Bullock (born July 26, 1964 in
Arlington County, Virginia) is an American film
actress.
Sandra majored in drama at East Carolina
University. She left ECU during the spring
semester of her Senior year at ECU, only three
credits short of graduating, to pursue acting in
New York City, but found it difficult to establish
herself. She later received an honorary degree
from ECU. She moved to Los Angeles, California and
landed a series of small roles in several
independent films and, eventually, she got the
lead role in the TV version of the movie Working
Girl.
Bullock's first notable movie appearance was in
Demolition Man in 1993, which led to her
breakthrough performance in Speed the following
year. She became a bona fide star in the mid–late
90s, carrying a string of successes on the
strength of her name alone. She also runs her own
production company, Fortis Films.
Biography
Bullock was born to the late German-born opera
singer Helga Meyer, and American voice teacher
John Bullock. She started singing as a child in
Germany, where she also studied ballet and
performed small parts in her Mother's operas. She
lived 12 years in Fürth, Germany. Bullock attended
Washington-Lee High School where she was a
cheerleader and was voted "Most Likely to
Brighten up Your Day" by her class.
Bullock is single and has no children. She is
dating motorcycle builder and Monster Garage host
Jesse James and has also dated Troy Aikman,
Matthew McConaughey and Ryan Gosling. She was
engaged to actor Tate Donovan.
In October 2004, she won a multi-million-dollar
judgment in a lawsuit against Benny Daneshjou, the
builder of her Lake Austin, Texas mansion, a home
in which she has never lived, claiming it is
uninhabitable. The builder denies any wrongdoing
and is appealing the verdict.
Bullock publicly donated $1 million twice to the
American Red Cross, first to its Liberty Disaster
Relief Fund and again over four years later, in
response to the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and
tsunamis.
