"Everyone
told me to pass on Speed (1994) because
it was a 'bus movie.'"

Her mother was a German opera singer in Nuremberg.
While in Germany for her mother's operas, she would
sometimes perform small parts, usually playing the
part of a gypsy kid in the background. Sandra and
her family moved back to Virginia when she was ten
years old.
In 1982 she graduated from Washington-Lee High School,
where she was voted "The girl most likely to brighten
up your day". After high school she majored in Drama
at East Carolina University in North Carolina. She
then moved to New York to persue a career in acting.
She worked as a waitress, went to auditions, and
tried to get herself established in the acting field.
She got a role in the TV version of "Working Girl",
co-starring with Nana Visitor but she hated every
minute of it, and was glad when it was cancelled.
Her first big success came when she replaced Lori
Petty as Sylvester Stallone's partner in the futuristic
action/sci-fi flick, Demolition Man. In this film,
she gained a bunch of fans, and nice addition to
her resume. This helped get Sandra the part in Jan
de Bont's directoral debut film, SPEED, which also
starred Keanu Reaves and Dennis Hopper. SPEED was
a huge success, grossing over 120 million dollars
at the box office. In this film she stole the show
from the larger stars and became a star overnight,
although she missed most of the hoopla, as she was
in Europe, promoting the film.
Sandra then moved on to the hit, While You Were
Sleeping, which was carried by her now-well-known
name. While You Were Sleeping was a hit, bringing
in 85 million, and showed that she could be very
funny. She is a great actress and I will always
remeber her in one of my favourite flics, love potion
number nine. |
