Sandra Bullock (Actor) .. Margaret Tate
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.'

Ryan started acting in his early teens when he successfully auditioned for a role in the teen soap Fifteen. Other early projects include series such as The Odyssey, The Outer Limits, Lonesome Dove: The Outlaw Years and The X-Files.
Career: At the age of 18 Reynolds moved to Los Angeles, quickly landing roles in Sabrina the Teenage Witch and In Cold Blood. He then had a regular part in the surprise hit sitcom, Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place. Using the exposure gained from the series, he moved on to feature film work; it was 2002's Van Wilder: Party Liaison that made him a star. Since then, he's cemented his place on Hollywood's A-list with such movies as The Amityville Horror, Blade: Trinity, Definitely, Maybe, The Proposal, Buried, Ted, and playing the title role in Green Lantern. His recent credits include Ted, RIPD, A Million Ways to Die in the West, and The Voices.
