Sandra Bullock an excellent mix of comedy and drama
Sandra Bullock was born in July 26, 1964 - American actress, one of the most popular and highly paid stars in Hollywood.
Fame as an actress has come to Sandra Bullock rather late: until 1993 the most famous films with her (relatively small) participation were comedy "Love Potion number 9" and the musical drama of a famous film director Peter Bogdanovich's "The Thing Called Love" in which Bullock played with movie stars, like River Phoenix and Dermot Mulroney.
In 1993 was released fantastic action movie "Demolition Man" where Sandra Bullock appears in one shot with Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes. Participation of Sandra in the film can be called an accident: she went into the project for a few days before the shooting after the actress Laura Petty refused from the role. A few years later Stallone in an interview said that he would again film with Bullock, but he just hadn't enough money to ask her.
The situation has changed in a few years: in 1994, Sandra Bullock once again decided to shoot in action and this time received an invitation from the Dutch filmmaker Jan De Bont, who worked with Paul Verkhoven and Madonna, in her directorial debut about the bus, which cannot slow because of the bomb in the engine.
The film "Speed" is a real released hit. With a modest budget of $ 30 million film has collected around the world more than 350 million, has generated a lot of imitations and parodies, making of it performed in starring Bullock and Keanu Reeves true superstars. Three years later, Sandra Bullock will take part in the sequel to the film, but "Speed 2" will be one of the biggest financial failures in Hollywood in 1997.
However, in the intervals between success and failure Sandra acted in several films, attaching her status of a good actress. Comedy "While You Were Sleeping", a thriller "Network" and race drama "A Time to Kill" became hits no less than "Speed".
After an unsuccessful "Speed 2" Sandra suspend her participation in the action films and focuses her career on comedies and dramas: family drama "Hope afloat" (1998) and the comedy "Forces of Nature" with Ben Affleck.
Today Sandra continues successfully shooting in different films and still not less popular than in 90th.
