Sandra was born on July 26th 1964 in Arlington, VA (a suburb of Washington D.C.) as Sandra Annette Bullock. However, she never uses her second name. Her mother's name is Helga, born as Meyer, who was a German opera singer. Unfortunately she already died on April 4th 2000 because of cancer. Her father John, who now helps managing her production company Fortis Films and Rebaw, worked as voice coach for the Pentagon in Bavaria (Germany), where he also meets Helga. Sandra also has a younger sister. Gesine's profession is lawyer and mainly deals with youth crimes.
Sandra grows up as young girl between artists and actors, because of her mother's job. From 1964 until 1977 she often moves with her parents between Europe and America. By this time she mainly lives in Salzburg (Austria) and Nuremburg (Germany). At the age of 12 Sandra is the first time on stage. In 1977 Helga got a job for 1 1/2 years in the opera of Salzburg. Today Sandra tells, she remembers that she played around backstage and she knows since this time that she always wanted to be in the spotlight.
In 1978 her father John gets a job directly in the Pentagon and so they finally move to Arlington, where she was born. She went to Washington Lee High School there and in the year-book she is called "clown of the grade" (in the positive way). To her parents wish she should go to the Jilliard University where her father went to, but she then decides to go to the less spectecular East Carolina Universitiy in Greenville. Today she says about this decision that it was just perfect. This university is just near enough to visit her parents easily but it is also far enough away to fool around a little. In second term she changes from her original study to do drama.
With her friend at this time, Mark Brunetz, she participates in many dancing competitions of which she wins a lot. But that's not all. In 1984 she is voted to the Cheerleader Captain and in the year-book she is voted "Most likely to brighten up your day".
Suddenly she decides to leave the university and then she goes to New York. There she earns her money with several jobs in bars, she even works (of course without knowing it) in a "crack-bar" until it is found out. Her final education she gets from the acting-teacher-legend Sanford Meisner in New York. After applying for several roles in theaters she gets her first one in 1987 in "No Time Flat", an off-Broadway theater. In the New York Daily she is the only one mentioned positively in this theater. A talent seeker found Sandra by this time and arranged her first starring in the action movie "Hangmen", also in 1987. She already appears for about 15 minutes in that movie and has the main supporting actress role.
This is the begin of Sandra's long and great movie career.
