Born on April 25, 1969, in Katy, Texas, Renee Zellweger was raised in a small town outside Houston, and took up acting in college. She appeared in bit parts in mainstream movies like Dazed and Confused (1993) and Reality Bites (1994) before earning praise for her leading roles in the independent films The Whole Wide World (1996), co-starring Vincent D’Onofrio. Zellweger later turned in a critically acclaimed performance opposite Meryl Streep in One True Thing (1998), an adaptation of Anna Quindlen’s novel about a daughter coping with her mother’s slow death from cancer.
In 1999, Zellweger starred with Chris O’Donnell in The Bachelor, and made headlines on account of her budding romance with comic star Jim Carrey. In the comedy Me, Myself and Irene (2000), written and directed by Peter and Bobby Farrelly, Carrey played a character with two personalities, both of whom are in love with Zellweger’s Irene. That same year, Zellweger won a Golden Globe Award for the black comedy Nurse Betty. Renee Zellweger went on to garner even more success in 2001, when she starred as the neurotic British title character in the film adaptation of Helen Fielding’s best-selling novel, Bridget Jones’s Diary. In 2003, Zellweger earned her second Goden Globe for her performance in Chicago. In 2005, Zellweger co-starred in Cinderella Man with Russell Crowe.
