Sandra Bullock

Biography

Sandra Annette Bullock was born in Washington D.C. on July 26, 1964. This part-German, part-Alabamian was raised in Arlington, Virginia. The oldest of two, Sandra, her baby sister and their mom used to travel to Europe often because her mom was a renowned opera singer. Her mother's love of music transferred to Sandra early on and she often performed in local children's choirs or alongside her own mother.

Although Sandra was constantly traveling, she made a habit of fitting in with every crowd she encountered. In her years at Arlington's Washington-Lee High School, she was even voted Most Likely To Brighten Up Your Day.

After she finished high school, Sandra attended East Carolina University, majoring in drama. Since Sandra knew that fame wasn't simply handed out, she decided to jump-start her career and with the approval of her parents, she left university before acquiring her degree, packed up and moved to New York.

Once she arrived in the Big Apple, Sandra didn't waste any time and enrolled in intensive acting classes whilst simultaneously holding a bartending job. Sandra was a bartender for three years while she worked hard at achieving her dream of becoming an actress. Sandra went to every casting call and audition she could.

SANDRA BULLOCK ON BIONIC SHOWDOWN

Finally in 1988, a critic named John Simon gave Sandra's career a push in the right direction when he made a positive comment about her acting talent in a review of No Time Flat, an off-Broadway production that Sandra starred in.

With positivity on her side, Sandra got herself an agent and began acting in television shows, taking on the role of a beautiful bionic woman in the 1989 show entitled Bionic Showdown: The Six-Million-Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman.

After her stint on television, she moved to LA and landed her first starring role in NBC's adaptation of the movie Working Girl. Unfortunately, the show only lasted for six episodes, which meant Sandra had to resort to working various odd jobs until her next Hollywood break came around.
