Sandra
Annette Bullock was born on July 26, 1965 in Washington D.C. to Mother,
Helga (German opera singer) and Father, John (American voice coach). She
was joined by Sister, Gesine, at age three. Sandra spent the first
twelve years of her life living between Salzburg, Austria (during opera
season) and Arlington, Virginia, as her mother's work required her
presence in both cities. At the young age of eight, Sandra performed on
stage for the first time, assuming the role of a gypsy child in a play
with her mother. Helga claims that by the sixth grade, Sandra had
already set her mind on acting. She acquired the scar on her forehead
(above her right eye) after tumbling into a creek at age eleven.
Sandra pursued a
higher education at East Carolina University in Greenville, North
Carolina, where she enrolled as a drama major. Here she performed in
Chekhov's Three Sisters, studying under the instruction of Don
Biehn, who has fond memories of Sandra's performance and abilities. Following her
endeavors at ECU (three credits short of graduating), Sandra moved to
New York to study method acting, instructed by Sanford Meisner. She
dishonestly attained a bartending job, and later fled to Los Angeles to
pursue acting. Four years after leaving ECU without a degree, Sandra
landed the starring role in the NBC sitcom Working Girl, which
she later considered her "quickest flop". She also starred in Love
Potion No. 9 as a psychobiologist. Although the movie didn't bring
her any quick fame, it did bring her a three year relationship with Tate
Donavan, her costar in the film. The ending of the relationship left
Sandra emotionally damaged, but she has recovered well, claiming the two
are "really strong soul mates." (Premiere, July 1996) Sandra played the
supporting role of a kidnapped victim in The Vanishing, a
waitress in Wrestling Ernest Hemingway, a "wannabe country
singer" in The Thing Called Love
1996 will bring
$6 million to Sandra's door, starring as Ellen Roark in John
Grisham's A
Time to Kill. Sandra's '96 schedule also includes Two
If By Sea (January 12), In
Love and War, and Kate
and Leopald, in which she will be the star of her first
production. Sandra's career
is certainly booming. Since she was in sixth grade, she's had her mind
set on acting. This is perhaps the secret to her success. She hasn't
come this far in perfection, however, stating more than once lessons she
has learned along the way. It is her "I want to do it ; I'm going
to do it" attitude that's brought her so much success and fame. As
nearly anyone who knows her will tell you, she doesn't have the
"I'm famous" bug. When asked in an interview with 48 Hours,
"Is it correct to call you a superstar?" Sandra responded,
"No it's not." She refers to herself as an "actor who
happens to be fortunately working a lot." She simply loves what
she's doing, and does it best. |

Sandra,
an above average student, attended Washington-Lee High School in
Arlington, VA, where she joined the cheerleading squad. After being
voted "Most Likely to Brighten Your Day" by her senior class,
she graduated from WLHS in 1982. 
(for
which she wrote and performed her own song entitled Heaven Knocking
on My Door), and a futuristic street cop in Demolition Man,
replacing Lori Petty (Tank Girl). It is this role which seemingly
clinched her part as Annie, an "average 'girl'", in the 1994
box office smash Speed. In 1995, director Jon Turteltaub gave
Sandra her first starring role as Lucy in While You Were Sleeping,
this time replacing Demi Moore, for whom the part was originally
intended. That same year, Sandra rocked the box office again as Angela
Bennett in The Net.
