Sandra Annette Bullock was born on July, 26th, 1964 in Washington. The mother of the actress is a German opera singer; her father is an American teacher of singing. The childhood Sandra spent travelling – the family lived between America and Europe: half a year in a cosy house in Arlington (Virginia), half a year in Austria where the mother of Sandra acted. And her parents always took her younger sister with them. Once Sandra firmly tied herself to the writing table not to leave her friend. “If I knew then that in life no one can tie anybody to the other with a string!” – She said later. The only consolation was children’s chorus. Her parents dreaming of musical career of their daughter almost from birth started teaching to Sandra singing playing the piano.
As it often happens, their efforts led to opposite result – the girl literally hated classical music. Sandra did everything to escape the bothered notes and scales. At seven she “unintentionally” cut herself both palms and a year later (on the eve of the entrance examinations in musical school) she ate 12 portions of ice-cream a heat having caused by that heavy quinsy. Her first leading role Sandra Bullock received on TV NBC in a comedy teleserial” Working Girl “. Fascinating thriller “Speed” helped her to become popular. Three years later Sandra Bullok took part in the film sequel but “Speed-2″ was one of the largest financial failures of <br><!–more read full post –>Hollywood in 1997. However in intervals between success and failure Sandra acted in several films which fixed her status of the actress capable of attracting spectators to the cinema. The comedy “While You Were Sleeping”, thriller “The Net” and interracial drama “A Time To Kill” became hits not less than “Speed”. Sandra speaks German fluently. She twice donated 1 million dollars to the American Red Cross.
