| Renee Zellweger Biography |
Up until she appeared opposite Tom Cruise in Jerry Maguire (1996), Renee Zellweger's name was almost unknown outside of Hollywood and the independent film circuit. The beauty and natural ability that Zellweger exhibited as Cruise's love interest, caught the attention of critics and audiences alike. Though she was passed by at that year's Oscars, she won several other awards for her work, including the title of "best breakthrough performer" by the National Board of Review.
Of Swiss and Norwegian parentage, the willowy strawberry blonde actress was born in Katy, Texas, a tiny town located near Houston. The town was so small that it possessed neither cable television nor a movie theater. |
