Sandra Bullock Biography News Profile Relationships Photo Wallpaper Video.
Born on the outskirts of Washington, D.C., to a German opera singer and a voice teacher, Bullock grew up largely on the road. She studied music and dance while she traveled throughout Europe, and made her first stage appearance at the age of 5 in a small role for an opera in Nuremburg, Germany. The performance helped her to develop a love of the stage, and she began appearing regularly in the Nuremburg children's choir. When Bullock was 12,
her family moved back to the D.C. area, where she attended Washington-Lee High School. Bullock had no problem fitting in, becoming involved in cheerleading and school theater productions until her graduation in 1982. Bullock then enrolled in East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina, to study acting,
but left college only three credits shy of her bachelor's degree. Instead, she moved to New York in 1986 to pursue acting in earnest. She joined the Neighborhood Playhouse Theatre, where she took acting classes, and supported herself with waitressing and bartending work.
Bullock landed her first gig at the age of 21 in an off-Broadway production of No Time Flat. Bullock used the critical acclaim for her role in the play, to land an agent. But Bullock's early acting jobs, which included bit parts in TV movies and B-movies, were unsuccessful and sometimes embarrassing. She made a short run as Tess McGill on the ill-fated NBC sitcom Working Girl (based on the hit movie of the same name), followed by a co-starring role in the romantic comedy Love Potion No. 9 (1992).
In 1993, Bullock replaced Lori Petty in the futuristic Sylvester Stallone vehicle Demolition Man, but critics largely panned the film as "incoherent" and "one-dimensional." It was in the box-office hit Speed (1994), that Bullock first earned widespread recognition. Playing opposite Keanu Reeves, Bullock's plucky performance helped propel the commercial success of what was an otherwise generic action feature.
In the mid-1990s, Bullock appeared in steady stream of big-budget productions of varying commercial success. While films like While You Were Sleeping (1995), The Net (1995), and A Time to Kill (1996) performed well, others such as Two If By Sea (1996) and Speed 2: Cruise Control (1997),
were box-office flops. In an attempt to expand her dramatic range, Bullock appeared as an alcoholic newspaper columnist sent to rehab, in 28 Days (2000).
The film, a mix of dark comedy and melodrama, received tepid reviews, although her comedy Miss Congeniality did well at the box office that same year. After a brief hiatus, Bullock returned in early 2002 with Murder by Numbers, a crime thriller in which she plays a detective responsible for tracking down a duo of thrill-killers.
She also appeared in a film version of the best-selling novel The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood and Two Weeks' Notice, a romantic comedy co-starring Hugh Grant.

Dianna Agron Biography News Profile Relationships Photo Wallpaper Video.
Born April 30, 1986 in Savannah, GA to Ron and Mary Agron, she was raised in San Francisco, CA. A bourgeoning performer from a young age, Agron began to take dance lessons at the age of three and continued studying ballet and jazz dance throughout her childhood.
Involved in musical theater as a teen at Burlingame High School, Agron became interested in acting and aspired to pursue a professional career upon graduation. Relocating to Los Angeles at the age of 18, she enrolled in acting classes and appeared in a number of student films to gain experience. Agron made her professional acting debut in 2006, landing a small role in "After Midnight: Life Behind Bars," a forgettable made-for-TV movie about LA's nightlife.
Though not the most promising career start, Agron used that role to land a series of small TV parts in episodes of "CSI: NY" (CBS, 2004- ), Nickelodeon's "Drake & Josh" (2004-07), and "Shark" (FOX, 2006-08). She went on to appear opposite Kristen Bell as rich-kid Hearst College student Jenny Budosh on the popular teen detective series, "Veronica Mars" (UPN/The CW, 2004-07).
Agron next appeared as a cat-loving retail store greeter in "It's a Mall World," a series of short webisodes for American Eagle Outfitters directed by actor and future "Heroes" star Milo Ventimiglia. The webisodes aired online and ran as an advertising campaign during episodes of MTV's "The Real World: Sydney" (2007-08).
In 2007, Agron received a major career boost when cast as stuck-up head cheerleader Debbie Marshall opposite the indestructible Claire Bennet (Hayden Panettiere) on the second season of NBC's cult superhero drama "Heroes." After a four-episode arc on the hit series, Agron appeared on the CBS crime drama "Numb3rs" (2005- ), as well as in a number of small projects, including the web-based series "Celebrities Anonymous" (2009), the short film "Dinner With Raphael" (2009) and "A Fuchsia Elephant" (2009), a 10-minute short which Agron wrote, directed and starred in
Agron's big break was still to come, however, arriving in the form of yet another primetime cheerleader; this time as musically gifted head "Cheerio" Quinn Fabray on the breakout musical hit, "Glee" (2009- ). Created by Ryan Murphy of "Nip/Tuck" (FX, 2003- ) fame, the pilot was initially broadcast after FOX's perennial hit "American Idol" (2002- ) in May 2009.
Somewhat surprisingly, the episode - sans any A-list talent outside of film comedienne Jane Lynch - pulled in a solid 9.6 million viewers and hooked audiences for the show's fall premiere. Centered on a group of misfit glee club students at an Ohio high school, "Glee" caught on quickly with viewers, leading fans of the series to anoint themselves 'Gleeks.' Picked up to full series after its third episode, "Glee" rose to become one of the network's top new shows, with sales from the series' first soundtrack landing on Billboard's Top Ten sales chart only two months after the series' fall premiere.
With her dance and musical theater background, Agron was a natural fit for the show. She had performed a rendition of Frank Sinatra's "Fly Me to the Moon" during her audition for the series - a mere day before filming was set to start on the pilot - so there was no doubt in her vocal skills.
However, it was not until the second episode that Agron's true talents began to shine. When Quinn decides to infiltrate the glee club in order to keep an eye on boyfriend Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith), she leads the Cheerios into a sugar-sweet rendition of Dionne Warwick's "Say a Little Prayer" - a number that showcased Agron's vocals and gift for musical theater.
Faced with a teen pregnancy as the series progressed, Quinn began to develop as a character, allowing Agron to delve deeper as an actress and make possible the seemingly impossible - bringing vulnerability and likability to the often caricatured bitchy, popular high school girl.

Kirk Douglas Biography News Profile Relationships Photo Wallpaper Video.
After serving in the U.S. Navy during World War II and having a brief career on the Broadway stage, Kirk Douglas made his first Hollywood film, The Strange Love of Martha Ivers (1946) with Barbara Stanwyck. Three years later, he gave a breakthrough performance in Champion (1949) as a boxer who stops at nothing to make it to the top. He amazed audiences and critics alike with his portrayal of Midge Kelly, which earned him his first Academy Award nomination.
A sought-after actor, Douglas worked with many leading directors, including Billy Wilder in 1951's The Big Carnival. But it was his work with Vincente Minnelli that led two of his greatest performances: morally bankrupt movie executive Jonathan Shields in The Bad and the Beautiful (1952) and the troubled artist Vincent van Gogh in Lust for Life (1956). Douglas earned an Academy Award nomination for each of those films.
Along with his critical successes, Douglas was a big office box draw as well. Over the years, he often appeared with friend and fellow Hollywood heavyweight Burt Lancaster in such films as the western drama Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (1957), The Devil's Disciple (1959), and Seven Days in May (1964). Working with director Stanley Kubrick, he also starred in the World War I drama Paths of Glory (1957) and in Spartacus (1960). His work in Spartacus as a Roman slave—and the film's title character—who leads an uprising is considered to be one of his signature roles.
In 1970s, Douglas tried his hand at directing with little success. Both of his directorial efforts—Scalawag (1973) and Posse (1975)—failed to make much of an impression on movie-goers. His acting career also stalled around this time. Some of his more memorable later films include The Man from Snowy River (1982) and Tough Guys (1986), which reunited him with Lancaster for the last time.
While one phrase of his life was slowing down, another was just beginning. In 1989, Douglas shared his life story in his best-selling autobiography, The Ragman's Son. He has also showed a talent for fiction, including Dance with the Devil (1990) and The Gift (1992). One of his nonfiction works, Climbing the Mountain: My Search for Meaning (1997) was published shortly after Douglas experienced a nearly fatal stroke in 1995.
Not one to be daunted by personal setbacks, Douglas did not let his stroke slow him down for long. It did, however, affect his speech, but it did not stop him from acting. He starred in the 1999 comedy Diamonds with Dan Aykroyd, Lauren Bacall, and Jenny McCarthy.
He also was nominated for an Emmy Award for a guest appearance on the inspirational television drama Touched by an Angel in 2000. More recently, he co-starred with son Michael Douglas in the 2003 drama It Runs in the Family. Douglas also continues to write—his latest work is Let's Face It: 90 Years of Living, Loving, and Learning (2007).
