Renee
Zellweger rose to fame with the Tom Cruise starrer 'Jerry
Maguire'(96). Other notable performances include Chicago
(2002) and Cold Mountain (2003). She won the Academy
award in 2004 for Cold Mountain.
Her current earnings are estimated at $15 million.
Something to chew on:
Renee's high profile relationship with Jim Carrey ended
in late 2000. Zellweger notably poked fun at the prior
relationship when she ended her opening monologue on
Saturday Night Live by reading an entry from her own
"diary", marked "Dear Diary, I can't
believe I am dating Jim Carrey !"
With no dance or voice training, she learned how to
perform for Chicago (2002) by watching co-star Catherine
Zeta-Jones. She endured a grueling training regime of
vocal coaching and dance training for 10 months to rise
to professional standards.
