Sandra Bullock's Rare Photos & Little Known Shocking Facts

Sandra Bullock is an American actress known for her roles in films like Speed and The Blind Side, for which she won an Oscar. Sandra Bullock was born in Washington D.C. in 1964 and grew up speaking fluent German, thanks to her mother who was an opera singer and voice instructor from Germany. Sandra Bullock studied ballet and vocal arts and got her start in acting with Sanford Meisner before appearing in her first film, Bionic Showdown. In 1994, Sandra Bullock gained widespread recognition for her role in Speed, earning her the best actress award at the 21st Saturn Awards.

Bullock has been married twice, first to motorcycle builder Jesse James and then to photographer Bryan Randall. Her marriage to James was tumultuous, with James getting into a custody battle with his ex-wife and then being accused of infidelity by multiple women. Bullock filed for divorce and it was finalized in 2010. She has also had several stalkers over the years, including Thomas James Weldone, who needed a restraining order to be stopped, and Diana Valentine, who was sentenced to probation for stalking and aggravated assault. Another stalker, James Corbett, committed suicide after breaking into Bullock’s home.

Bullock has also been involved in two serious accidents. The first was a private jet crash in 2000, and the second was a car crash in which her then-husband Jesse James crashed while driving under the influence. Bullock has also been involved in philanthropy and charitable work, including founding the Sandra Bullock Family Learning Center in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.
