After returning to the States, Bullock attended Washington-Lee High School in Virginia and later East Carolina University. After dropping out of college (she later completed coursework and earned her degree), she moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting. Bullock’s first big role came with “Demolition Man,” which led to her most well known lead role of her career “Speed” opposite Keanu Reeves. Often called one of America’s Sweethearts, she was cast in romantic lead positions in “While You Were Sleeping,” “Hope Floats,” “Two Weeks Notice” and “The Lake House.”  In 2005 Bullock made a huge spash with “Crash” and much Oscar buzz surrounded the actress.
