Birthday: Jul 26, 1964

Birthplace: Arlington, Virginia, USA

Giving new meaning to the term America's Sweetheart, Sandra Bullock won over scores of filmgoers and critics with her wholesome, exuberant portrayals of ordinary women in extraordinary circumstances. Since her breakthrough role as Speed's unwitting heroine, Bullock has enjoyed the type of popularity that was in the past reserved for actresses along the lines of Mary Pickford or Shirley Temple.Born in Washington, D.C., on July 26, 1964, Bullock was the elder daughter of a vocal coach dad and an opera singer mom. Touring through Europe with her mother, Bullock was given her first taste of show business while still a child. Back in the States, she attended high school in Virginia and was a popular cheerleader, whose classmates dubbed her the person Most Likely to Brighten Your Day. After a stint at East Carolina University, Bullock took her sunny nature to New York, where she began concentrating on an acting career. After tending bar and studying her craft with dramatician Sanford Meisner, she got her start with a number of stage productions. It was for one of these productions, the off-Broadway No Time Flat, that Bullock received a rave review for her portrayal of a Southern belle, the strength of which was enough to land her an agent. Television work followed, with a small role in the 1989 Bionic Showdown: The Six-Million-Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman and, after her migration to Los Angeles, Melanie Griffith's role in the short-lived television version of Working Girl. Miraculously surviving the widespread career fallout that surrounded her first starring film role in Love Potion No. 9 (1992), the actress went on the following year to star in the similarly ill-fated The Thing Called Love. However, things began to look up the same year when the struggling actress became the last-minute replacement for Lori Petty in the Sylvester Stallone action flick Demolition Man. Though her role was essentially limited to intermittent saliva exchanges with Stallone, her performance won the attention of the film's producer, Joel Silver, who in turn recommended her to Jan de Bont. De Bont, then in the process of casting his upcoming bus-with-a-bomb action film, chose the struggling actress for the part of Annie, the film's reluctant heroine. In casting Bullock against Keanu Reeves, de Bont reportedly came up against considerable resistance from studio executives, who wanted someone blonde and buxom for the part. The director persevered and, in 1994, Bullock took her place in movie history as part of Speed, one of the most successful action films ever made. The film propelled the actress to stardom, surprising no one more than Bullock herself, who later remarked, "never in a million years did I think a bus movie would open every door I ever possibly wanted open."Doors now wide open, Bullock next starred in the 1995 romantic comedy While You Were Sleeping. The film was a critical and commercial hit, and the actress followed it up with a screen adaptation of John Grisham's A Time to Kill, co-starring Ashley Judd and Matthew McConaughey. The success of that film was the last that Bullock would enjoy for a while, as she then entered something of a sophomore slump with disappointments such as In Love and War (1996), Two If By Sea (1996), and, perhaps most excruciating, Speed 2: Cruise Control (1997). Fortunately for Bullock, her audiences seemed to be inclined to forgive and forget, and she had a modest rebound with the following year's Hope Floats, which also happened to be the first project of the production company she founded, Fortis Films. The same year, Bullock also starred in another romantic comedy, Practical Magic, opposite Nicole Kidman. The film provided another modest success for Bullock, who, back in the saddle again, proceeded to do yet another romantic comedy, this time starring with Ben Affleck in Forces of Nature (1999). Although the film proved to be a critical and commercial disappointment, Bullock was back on the radar with a nu

Leigh Anne Tuohy:	I'm here to investigate your odd predicament.

Dr. Ryan Stone:

Alright the way I see it, there's only two possible outcomes. Either I make it down there in one piece and I have one hell of a story to tell, or I burn up in the next ten minutes. Either way whichever way, no harm no foul. Cause either way, it'll be one hell of a ride. I'm ready.

Scarlett Overkill:	Respect! Power!

Beth:	Hey, does Michael get the family discount at Taco Bell? Because if he does that Sean is gonna lose a few stores.
Leigh Anne Tuohy:	He's a good kid.

Leigh Anne Tuohy:

One-Mississippi - Joe Theismann, the Redskins quarterback takes the snap and hands-off to his runnin' mate. Two-Mississippi - it's a trick play, a flea-flicker. And the runnin' back tosses back to the quarterback. Three-Mississippi - up 'til now the play's been defined by what he doesn't. Four-Mississippi - Lawrence Taylor is the best defensive player in the NFL. And has been from the time that he walked onto the field as a rookie. He will also change the game of football as we know it... Legendary quarterback Joe Theismann never played another down of football.

Birdee Pruitt:

Childhood is what you spend the rest of your life tryin' to overcome.

Birdee Pruitt:

Then you should take it. If that's how you feel then you should take it. You and Connie deserve each other. You were lucky to have me. But you know what? I think I already got the best part of you. And she's standin' right out there, and she's waitin' for me. I don't know... what's left just doesn't look so good anymore. So why'd you come back? You want my permission? You want my... condolences? Why did you come back?

Bill Pruitt:

Well, I didn't wanna do this to you now, Birdee, but I want a divorce.

Birdee Pruitt:	I would have stayed with you forever. I would have turned myself inside out for you
Bill Pruitt:	Birdee, I wouldn't have let you! People grow. They change. They have to!
Birdee Pruitt:	You think that I don't know that? I know that I'm not what I once was. I know that! But I haven't changed so much, that I would go and lie to someone that I love. God, I would walk through fire before I'd let them feel like they were nothin'! And I would never break up anybody's home. Because I am not a quitter. I care about my family! I may not be the same person, but then again, neither are you. You're sad, you're weak, and you're... shorter. If you wanna know the truth.
Bill Pruitt:	I'm in love with Connie. And this is my chance for a fresh start, and I'm takin' it, I'm sorry!

Birdee Pruitt:

People fall in love. They fall right back out. It happens all the time.

Birdee Pruitt:

Once upon a time your mama knew what it meant to shine.

Leigh Anne Tuohy:

Now, ya'll would guess that more often than not, the highest paid player on an NFL team is the quarterback. And you'd be right. But what you probably don't know is that more often than not, the second highest paid player is, thanks to Lawrence Taylor, a left tackle. Because, as every housewife knows, the first check you write is for the montgage, but the second is for the insurance. The left tackle's job is to protect the quarterback from what he can't see comin'. To protest his blind side.

Leigh Anne Tuohy:	(first lines) There's a moment of orderly silence before a football play begins. Players are in position, lineman are frozen. and anything is possible. Then, like a traffic accident, stuff begins to randomally collide. From the snap of the ball to the snap of the first bones, closer to four seconds than five.

Leigh Anne Tuohy:	Sean and I have been talkin' and Michael, if you're gonna accept a football scholarship we think it should be to Tennessee. And I promise that I will be at every game cheerin' for you.
Michael Oher:	Every game.
Leigh Anne Tuohy:	Every game. But I will not wear that gaudy orange, I will not. It is not my colour wheel and I'm not gonna wear it.

Sean Tuohy:	You really except Michael to lay down on the couch and talk about his childhood like he's Woody Allen or somethin'? I mean, Michael's gift is his ability to forget. He's mad at no one and he really doesn't care happen in the past.
Leigh Anne Tuohy:	You're right.
Sean Tuohy:	Excuse me? 'You're right'? How'd those words taste comin' out of your mouth?
Leigh Anne Tuohy:	Like vinegar.
