The list of her lovers includes the most famous and sought-after actors and musicians. She is a talented actress who did not even think about a career, dreaming of becoming an Olympic champion. The star of horror and drama, winner of many awards and nominations - the inimitable Renee Zellweger.
In the small town of Katy, Texas, on April 25, 1969, the future actress Renee Zellweger was born. In addition to his daughter, there was also a son in the family of the engineer Emil Zellweger and the governess Irene Kellfried. The older brother was named Andrew - he was the very first of the family who was born in America.
The children took pride in their Swiss-Norwegian roots, often emphasizing their origins. Brother and sister have always been friendly. There was nothing to do in the town of Katya, and my brother and sister spent a lot of time together. The guys were free in their thoughts and actions, and their parents did not limit them in anything, allowing them to develop their personality from different sides.
Renee adored her brother to unconsciousness. He replaced all her friends and girlfriends with her. She always wanted to be like him, so she often took over all the activities that her older brother was engaged in, even though they were suitable only for the boy.
So she learned to play baseball so that she could be with her brother and play with him on the same team. Andrew reciprocated his sister and involved her in his interests, teaching her to play sports.
Starting at school, the girl devoted a lot of time to athletics classes, was the captain of the support group of the school football team, played basketball and did gymnastics.
She even dreamed of becoming an Olympic champion, which is why she constantly trained. But the dream was not destined to come true, as Rene was injured and completely abandoned her dream.
Since there was no entertainment in the small town, and the child still needed to do something, Zellweger decided to go to the drama club.
After graduating from school, Rene enters the Faculty of Philology at the University of Austin. Even in her school years, she liked to engage in theatrical activities, and she decides to continue to go on stage. Then she still did not think about an acting career, but was engaged in this work for the soul.
And in order to somehow provide for her student years, the girl got a job at the Sugar strip bar as a waitress.
Thanks to her assertiveness, she rented an apartment with the money she earned and moved out of the university dormitory. She also got money to take individual acting lessons.
This activity not only liked her, it became a part of her life. The girl buys a Honda car and tries to get into the cinema through screenings in Dallas. But, the only thing where she is invited is shooting in advertising for beer and fast food cafes.
Carier start
After graduating from university in 1991, Rene manages to get on TV screens, but only in episodic roles.
Her first work was the film Taste for Killing, after which she starred in the film Reality Bites. Then there was the horror project "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", where she starred with Matthew McConaughey. This film did not bring anything good to Rene, on the contrary, it almost broke the entire future career of a movie star.
While filming a horror movie, the girl auditioned for the lead role in the movie Love and a Colt.45 Caliber. After the presentation of the film, she receives a nomination for the best debut of the year, after which she begins to receive invitations from directors.

Rene considers her next successful film "True Values", in which she starred with Meryl Streep. I tried myself in the comedy "Me, Me and Irene" together with the inimitable Jim Carrey.
After filming, the girl decided to take part in the film "Bridges Jones's Diary". She goes through the selection and responsibly prepares for the role. In order for her character to look natural, she achieved a clean pronunciation of English, gained weight and got a job at a publishing company in order to adopt all the habits and skills of a real Englishwoman for playing a motion picture.
The film made a splash and was nominated for an Oscar and a Golden Globe.
From extreme to extreme
Having gained excess weight, the actress had to actively work on herself to reduce it in order to get into the musical "Chicago". This work was also nominated for a Golden Globe.
The disappointment of Rene's acting for fans was her role in the film "Bridget Jones". Critics to smithereens, and smashed the whole plot, not forgetting to go through the entire cast. Despite this, the film grossed about $ 300 million from its screenings in cinemas.
An incredibly successful motion picture was Miss Potter, where Zellweger played the main character. After such success, a black streak of failures began in the creative life of the film actress.
After the release of two projects "Case 39" and "Frozen from Miami", which failed and did not receive any applause, Rene stops acting and disappears for five years.
She will appear again in front of the audience in the continuation of the film about Jones when she turns 47 years old.
At the moment, the actress is starring in new film projects and leads an active lifestyle.
