Renee Zellweger
Renée Kathleen Zellweger - born 25 April 1969, in Baytown, Texas

Wise words: "When I got my job in a bar so I could pay for my tuition, go on auditions, sometimes get jobs that I loved, and pay my rent, I knew that I would be all right. THAT'S when my dreams came true - long before the telephone rang and someone said, 'Come and meet Tom Cruise'".
