Added DiffLines:

* ActorAllusion: Invoked. It was Sandra's idea to name her character's dog 'Jack' in ''Film/TheLakeHouse'', after Keanu Reeves's character in ''Speed''.


Added DiffLines:

* HollywoodHomely: She's found herself cast as the plain or less glamorous girl in many movies. ''Film/MissCongeniality'' is actually a subversion - as Gracie gets picked as the UndercoverModel precisely because she looks good in a swimsuit.


Added DiffLines:

* OldShame:
** Google ''Fire on the Amazon'' and see what pops up (but first make sure you're [[{{NSFW}} not at work]]).
** She isn't particularly proud of ''Film/Speed2CruiseControl'' either.
** Or ''[[Film/MissCongeniality Miss Congeniality 2: Armed And Fabulous]]''.
** And as mentioned in the description, her reaction to ''All About Steve'' getting her a Razzie was to come to the ceremony and happily admit it was terrible. Especially notable since she ''produced'' it.
* SheAlsoDid: She co-wrote and directed a short film called ''Making Sandwiches''.


Added DiffLines:

* TypeCasting:
** ''Film/WhileYouWereSleeping'' typecast her as a GirlNextDoor in romantic comedies.
** ''Film/MissCongeniality'' turned her image into that of a more no-nonsense persona.

Sandra Annette Bullock (July 26, 1964) is Hollywood's go-to actress when looking for slightly tomboyish, [[TheDitz quirky]], or HollywoodHomely characters who later prove to be BeautifulAllAlong[=/=]{{Kuudere}}[=/=]Not So Helpless after all. This was exemplified in the film ''Film/MissCongeniality'' and its sequel in the mid [[TurnOfTheMillennium Noughties]]. She has also starred in ''Film/{{Speed}}'', ''Film/ATimeToKill'', ''Film/HopeFloats'', ''Film/PracticalMagic'' (alongside Creator/NicoleKidman), the 1990s RomanticComedy ''Film/WhileYouWereSleeping'', and 2013's ''Film/{{Gravity}}'', but her biggest hit so far has been the 2015 animated film, ''WesternAnimation/{{Minions}}''.

* [[SurprisinglyGoodEnglish Surprisingly Good German]]: Unbeknownst to many people, she has a German mother and temporarily grew up in Nuremberg, Vienna and Salzburg. When [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQlm29I5GVE accepting an award in 2000]], she baffled many viewers with her fluent, accent-free German.
