Sandra Annette Bullock was born on July 26, 1964, in our nations capitol, Washington, D.C. to a German opera singer (and daughter of a rocket scientist!) and an Alabama career military man who, perhaps surprisingly, was also a voice coach.
A military brat, she spent her youth in Nuremberg, Vienna and Salzburg, before returning to attend school in Virginia and North Carolina and a bid for stardom right here in New York City.
As lucky in her rise to prominence as she was unlucky in love, she broke into the bigtime with the one two punch of Keanu Reeves turn to action hero, Speed and the Sylvester Stallone/Wesley Snipes sci fi action epic Demolition Man, before starting her own production company and breaking both records and hearts with big hits like Miss Congeniality, While You Were Sleeping and the Hugh Grant starring Two Weeks Notice.
But problems in her personal life took her out of the spotlight and slowed her relentless run of box office smashes...until a surprise comeback with the Ryan Reynolds (and Betty White) opus The Proposal, pensive Keanu Reeves reunion The Lake House, the likeable all-female Ocean's 8 and the recent Channing Tatum/Brad Pitt comedy/adventure The Lost City.
Join us as we take on the queen of the rom com and Hollywood power player Sandra Bullock, only here on Weird Scenes!
