RENÉE ZELLWEGER – 51

Surely, you will best remember Renée Zellweger as Bridget Jones in the Bridget Jones movie series. But aside from being a comedian, there is more to the 51-year-old actress. Renée is also a film producer and has received several accolades throughout her almost three-decade career. With her achievements and incredible talent, she used to be one of the world’s highest-paid actresses.

Before officially making acting her career of choice, Renée worked hard for her college degree at UT Austin. Here, she studied English Literature, although she aspired to be a journalist. In the 1990s, she started appearing on the big screen, beginning with Dazed and Confused. From one movie to another, she conquered the silver screen, while her most significant break came when she did Bridget Jones’s Diary in 2001. From there, the rest is history, and Renée will continue to grace the screens.
