Sandra Bullock


Sandra Annette Bullock born July 26, 1964 in Arlington Virginia. Her Mothers name was Helga D. Meyer who was a German opera singer and voice teacher passed away in the year 2000. Her father John W. Bullock a voice coach and executive from Alabama. Sandras maternal grandfather was a rocket scientist from Nuremburg, Germany. Sandra lived in Nuremberg until age twelve, where she sang in the opera's children's choir at the Staatstheater Nürnberg. She frequently traveled with her mother on her opera tours, and lived in Germany and other parts of Europe for much of her childhood. She is fluent in German.
Sandra studied ballet and vocal arts as a child, taking small parts in her mother's opera productions. Bullock has a sister, Gesine Bullock-Prado.
Bullock attended Washington-Lee High School where she was a cheerleader, participated in high school theater productions, and even dated a football player.
She graduated in 1982 and enrolled in East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina. She left East Carolina during her senior year in the spring of 1986, only three credits short of graduating, to pursue an acting career. She moved to Manhattan to pursue auditions and supported herself with a variety of odd jobs (bartender, cocktail waitress and coat checker. Sandra later completed her coursework at East Carolina University.
On December 20, 2000, Bullock survived the crash of a chartered business jet at Jackson Hole Airport. The aircraft hit a snowbank instead of the runway, resulting in both the nose gear and nose cone being ripped off, the right wing partially separating from the aircraft, and the left wing being bent back. On April 18, 2008, while Bullock was in Massachusetts shooting the film The Proposal, she and her husband were in an SUV that was hit head-on (driver's side offset) at moderate speed by a drunken driver. Vehicle damage was not catastrophic and amazingly there were no injuries.
In October 2004, Bullock won a multimillion-dollar judgment against Benny Daneshjou, the builder of her Lake Austin, Texas home; the jury ruled the house was uninhabitable. It has since been torn down and rebuilt. Bullock also owns a house on Tybee Island, which is a few miles from Savannah, Georgia. In 2009, she purchased a home in the historic Garden District neighborhood of New Orleans. On April 22, 2007, Marcia Diana Valentine was found lying outside James's and Bullock's Southern California home in Orange County. When James confronted the woman, she ran to her 2004 silver Mercedes, got behind the wheel, and tried to run over James. The woman is said to be an obsessed fan of Sandra Bullock.
The woman was charged with one felony count each of aggravated assault and stalking, while Bullock obtained a restraining order to bar Valentine from "contacting or coming near her home, family or work for three years." Valentine pleaded not guilty to charges of aggravated assault and stalking. Valentine was subsequently convicted of stalking and was sentenced to three years of probation. Recently she got another restraining order from Thomas James Weldon who was but this time the restraining order was for her son Louis, since her previous order expired.
My favorite movies she was in would have to be Speed,She was smoking hot in Demolition Man,While You Were Sleeping,The Net,Hope Floats,Murder By Numbers,Two Weeks Notice,Premonition and she was also smoking hot in The Proposal. I just saw The blind Side the other night and it was better than I thought it would be.
