Oscar-winning American actress Sandra Bullock turns sixty on Friday. The popular actress lent her name to countless charity initiatives. His star has been on the Hollywood Walk of Fame since 2005.
Sandra Annette Bullock was born in Arlington, Virginia, the eldest daughter of German opera singer Helga Meyer and American singing teacher John Bullock. The girl, who studied ballet and singing, spent part of her youth in Germany, was given minor extra roles on her mother's tours in Bavaria, and regularly performed with the Nuremberg children's choir, so she also speaks the language excellently.
They moved back to America when he was a teenager, where he enrolled in drama at East Carolina University. He had just three exams left when he turned his back on college in 1986 and moved to New York, where he worked as a bartender, waiter, wardrobe, auditioned and performed in off-Broadway theaters.
One night in 1989, she was spotted by director Alan J. Levi, who gave her a small role in the TV movie Bionic Woman.
Bullock struggled in Hollywood for years, starring in embarrassingly weak films and even writing and singing film songs. In 1993, he was able to jump into Sylvester Stallone's action film The Destroyer at the last moment, and although the role did not require special acting skills, Jan de Bon noticed him.
The director assigned her the female lead role in the action film Unbridled, although the producers wanted a blonde and plump lady as Keanu Reeves' partner. After seeing success, they relented, with Bullock later saying, "I never thought an action movie would open the doors I wanted to walk through."
In the following years, one romantic role followed another. In 1995, she played a lonely girl who finds love under strange circumstances in the film Only I Dream The movie was a huge success, the actress was nominated for a Golden Globe award for the first time.
This was followed by the drama If You Must Kill, based on John Grisham's novel, in which Samuel L. Jackson and Matthew McConaughey were partners, and then he also took on roles in not very successful films such as The Impossible Robbery, In Love and War and the second part of Unbridled.
However, his fans did not let him down, the new romantic piece Majd alválik - the first production of his self-founded film company - already performed well at the box office. He then entertained audiences alongside Nicole Kidman in the comedy Cursed Witches, and then partnered with Ben Affleck in Like a Hurricane.
One of the biggest successes of his career is the crime comedy Built-in Beauty, filmed in 2000, which was followed up five years later.
Bullock played a tough FBI agent who must compete in a beauty pageant to uncover a terrorist. In the comedy "Two weeks later forever" he appeared on the screen again in his usual role alongside Hugh Grant, but at that time he also wanted to show his dramatic side.
In 2005, she played the racist wife of a public prosecutor in the film Collisions, and she was already mentioned among the Oscar contenders. In 2006, he worked again with Keanu Reeves in the drama House by the Lake, and then took a break for two years after Intuition, made in 2007.
In 2009, he returned in one of the year's biggest box-office hits, the comedy The Marriage Proposal alongside Ryan Reynolds, and received another Golden Globe nomination.
That same year, she played a mother who adopts a black boy in the drama A sív bajnokai, based on real events.
Bullock is one of the few actresses who in the same year - for the film She's the Solution - won the Golden Raspberry Award for the worst actress and even the worst couple award together with Bradley Cooper. The actress accepted the lemon award with a great sense of humor and even gave a "thank you" speech.
His streak of success continued in 2013: first he played an FBI agent in the action comedy Female Organs, then he played an astronaut drifting alone in space in Alfonso Cuarón's spectacular sci-fi film Gravity, for which he was again nominated for an Oscar.
In the past decade, she first portrayed a political consultant in The Crisis Staff, and then played the sister of the master thief played by George Clooney in the crime thriller Ocean's 8 – Scam of the Century, which was released as a sequel to the highly successful Ocean's trilogy.
His most recent films include the drama film Unforgivable, the romantic adventure film The Lost City with Channing Tatum and Daniel Radcliffe, and the action film The Killer Flight, in which he starred alongside Brad Pitt. In addition to his acting work, he is a producer of one and a half dozen films, and also lent his voice to the animation Minions.
The popular actress lent her name to countless charity initiatives. His star has been on the Hollywood Walk of Fame since 2005.
In 2010 and 2014, she was the highest-paid actress, in 2010 she was on Time magazine's list of the most influential people, in 2015 People magazine chose her as the most beautiful woman in the world, and she proved to be the audience's favorite on several occasions at the People's Choice Awards. .
According to the men, time will not stop her beauty, her personal life did not develop happily for a long time, and several of her relationships ran aground. Bullock adopted two African-American children, whom she raised with model-turned-photographer Bryan Randall, who died last year, starting in 2015.
