Actress Sandra Bullock

Sandra Bullock wasn't born or raised in Austin, but she is certainly a part of the city. The star of "Speed, "Miss Congeniality," and "While You Were Sleeping" owns a delicious restaurant in downtown Austin, Bess Bistro, which took four years to create. She also has a line of organic candles tied into the restaurant called Bessence Candles. In the past she has dated part-time Austin resident Matthew McConaughey and Austin musician Bob Schneider. Bullock owns a large home on Lake Austin, which was torn down in 2004 due to building problems, but has since been rebuilt.
