Sandra Bullock Birthdays

Sandra Bullock turns 47 years young today.

An Academy Award winner, Bullock is known to many fans as America's Sweetheart, given her looks, positive attitude and infectious personality.

The way she handled her ugly split with Jesse James (who just confirmed his breakup with Kat Von D earlier this morning) was a study in class.

After winning an Oscar for The Blind Side, Bullock took time off to focus on a much more important role: Mother to adopted son Louis Bardot.

We wish her all the best personally and professionally.

Happy birthday, Sandy!

One of our favorite stars, Sandra Annette Bullock, turns 46 today.

She's been around for many years, starring in successful hits such as Speed, While You Were Sleeping, Miss Congeniality and Crash, which received critical acclaim.

Just last year, Bullock starred in the most commercially successful films of her career, The Proposal and The Blind Side, winning an Academy Award for the latter.

She's a great actress, but that's not why we love her.

From her handling of the Jesse James cheating scandal to her efforts to help the Gulf Coast, to her sincere, laid-back demeanor, she is truly America's Sweetheart.
