Sandra Bullock, known as "America's Sweetheart," rose to fame with iconic roles in Speed, Miss Congeniality, and The Blind Side. Following her highly publicized divorce from Jesse James in 2010, she chose to step away from Hollywood to focus on raising her adopted son, Louis, and realigning her priorities. Bullock returned to the screen in 2013 with Gravity, earning widespread acclaim and an Oscar nomination. Since then, she has carefully balanced her successful career with family life, starring in hits like Ocean's 8 and The Lost City, proving the value of taking time to reset and refocus.
