Sandra Bullock is 60!
The definition of America's Sweetheart, the beloved actress cut her teeth in films and TV shows such as Hangmen, A Fool and His Money, Lucky Chances and Working Girl, before she made a splash at the box office with 1994's Speed, alongside Keanu Reeves.
From then on, she churned out box office hit after box office hit with films like While You Were Sleeping, The Net, In Love and War, Practical Magic and many (many!) more.
She won even more hearts when she played rough-and-tumble cop-turned-beauty-queen, Gracie Heart, in Miss Congeniality and Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous. She gave us more classic performances in The Lake House and The Proposal before snagging an Oscar for her riveting performance in The Blind Side.
