Sandra Bullock set to turn 50

  • 10 years ago
Actress Sandra Bullock will be 50 years old on Saturday, July 26 - and her first five decades have gone pretty well.

In becoming one of the world's most recognized, bankable and lovable stars, and picking up an Oscar along the way, Bullock has proved herself a Hollywood power player.

Bullock rose to fame in the mid-1990s, starring in high-profile films like "Demolition Man," "Speed," and "While You Were Sleeping." She earned a best actress Oscar in 2009 for her role in "The Blind Side."

And in 2013, her turn in "Gravity" propelled her out of this world - earning her an estimated $70 million dollars and making her the highest paid actress in history.
