 After a star-making turn opposite Tom Cruise in Jerry Maguire, pouty-lipped Renée Zellweger has provided audiences with a series of surprises.
She earned the wrath of England when she (a Yank) was cast as the London working-girl heroine of Bridget Jones's Diary. Though much attention was focused on her weight gain (and drastic, subsequent loss), Zellweger earned her first Oscar nod. A second nomination came for the hit musical Chicago, but she finally won an Oscar for her supporting role opposite Nicole Kidman in 2003's Cold Mountain.
The actress, who has dated actors Jim Carrey and Bradley Cooper, married country music star Kenny Chesney in May 2005, but the union was annulled just four months later. She has since picked up the pieces and moved on to roles in Jerry Seinfeld's animated feature Bee Movie and George Clooney's Leatherheads.
