Sandra Bullock spent a lot of time in New York City before she hit the big time. Most people knew her as their local waitress or bartender before she got her big break. Now those people who were served by her back in those days can’t even come close to getting near her.

She was finally able to hang up her bar apron in the early 90’s when she started getting regular roles in movies and on television. Bullock also founded Fortis Films, a production company that has produced several of the films that she has appeared in.

Some of her most known movies are Speed, The Net, A Time to Kill, Miss Congeniality, Two Weeks Notice and The Blind Side. She also voiced a role in the movie Minions and was one of the reasons that it brought in over a BILLION dollars at the box office.

Bullock went from serving beers for tips to one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood. In 2015 People magazine also named her as their “Most Beautiful Woman.” The road for her might not have always been easy but it sure paid off for her in the long run.
