Two Weeks Notice

Sandra Bullock (Actor) .. Lucy Kelson

Born: July 26, 1964 in Washington, DC

Best Known For: Her romcom appearances.

Early-life: Born Sandra Annette Bullock on July 26, 1964, in a suburb of Washington DC, although she lived in Nuremberg until the age of 12. Her mother was a German opera singer, her father a voice coach from Alabama. Sandra accompanied her mother on operatic tours and sang in the Nuremberg children's choir; she is fluent in German. After graduating from high school, Sandra attended East Carolina University, but left to pursue an acting career without completing her degree.

Career: Bullock moved to New York and studied at the Neighborhood Playhouse. Student films were followed by the Off-Broadway play No Time Flat. She went to Hollywood to appear in TV movie Bionic Showdown in 1989, and thought her big break had come when she landed the lead in a small-screen version of hit movie Working Girl. Sadly, the series flopped. Things began looking up in 1993 when she landed a role in Demolition Man; a year later she was a massive star thanks to Speed. Hits since include While You Were Sleeping, Miss Congeniality (and its sequel), Crash, Premonition and The Proposal. She won an Oscar for her performance in The Blind Side. Her recent credits include The Heat and Gravity.

Quote: "Fame means when your computer modem is broken, the repair guy comes out to your house a little faster."

Trivia: She can dance flamenco, salsa and tango.

Hugh Grant (Actor) .. George Wade

Born: September 09, 1960 in Hammersmith, London

Best Known For: Playing bashful-yet-handsome British men.

Early-life: Hugh John Mungo Grant was born in London on September 9, 1960, and grew up in Hammersmith. "I was a charming little boy, but a bit neurotic," says Grant. "I was very pale and small for my age and I used to faint a lot." His mother was a teacher, his father a carpet salesman-turned-painter. He has an older brother called Jamie. Grant won a scholarship to Oxford in 1979, where he tried his hand at student drama, at one point featuring in Hamlet - performed in Star Trek costumes.

Career: Grant started out as a member of comedy troupe The Jockeys of Norfolk. He appeared in his first film, Privileged, in 1982. Other early projects include The Detective, A Very Peculiar Practice, The Demon Lover and Ladies in Charge. He had higher profile roles in Maurice, The Lair of the White Worm and The Remains of the Day. His big break came when he was cast in Four Weddings and a Funeral in 1994. Big-screen productions since include An Awfully Big Adventure, Sense and Sensibility, Notting Hill, Mickey Blue Eyes, About a Boy, Love Actually and two Bridget Jones films. He could recently be heard in animated film The Pirates!

Quote: "I just don't believe in love at first sight any more, even though I've based my whole career on the concept. In my experience, power, money and influence always attract the opposite sex. It's something that I've always exploited - with good results."

Trivia: He is a patron of Pancreatic Cancer Action.
