'Texas Chainsaw Massacre'

Renée Zellweger would get her big break in 1994 with the horror film Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation. The film itself wasn't a hit, but Zellweger's outstanding performance caught the eye of critics, and the role would gain her popularity in Hollywood!

'Jerry Maguire'

Renée Zellweger may have made her name known in Hollywood after her performance in Texas Chainsaw Massacre, however, audiences would also become familiar with the actress after her successful performance in 1996's Jerry Maguire. Also starring the handsome Tom Cruise, it is actually Cruise who insisted she play the part of "Dorothy"!

'Bridget Jone's Diary'

Perhaps Renée's biggest role to date, and one of our all time favorites, was as lead "Bridget Jones" in romantic comedy Bridget Jone's Diary. Starring opposite the dreamy Hugh Grant and Colin Firth, the role would require Renée to gain 20 pounds and learn to speak with a British accent! She accomplished both, and the film was so successful there have been two sequels!

'Cinderella Man'

By 2005, Renée Zellweger had secured a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and no actress was more deserving than Renée after her performance in 2005's Cinderella Man. Also starring Russell Crowe, the film followed the true life story of American boxer James J. Braddock, and Renée absolutely shined in her role of the late boxer's wife!

'Miss Potter'

2006's biographical drama Miss Potter would be one of the last big performances for Renée Zellweger before taking a 6-year break from acting. We don't blame the actress for needing a break- not only did Renée star as the lead in this hit film, but she also helped as an executive producer!

'Judy'

After making her return to acting in 2016 with 'Bridget Jone's Baby', the second sequel to 'Bridget Jone's Diary', the now 56-year-old actress is as stunning as ever! You can catch her in her latest hit film 2019's 'Judy' as the late "Judy Garland" and in the 2022 mini-series 'The Thing About Pam'! It's also just been announced that she will star in another 'Bridget Jones' film in 2025!

Hollywood is full of talent and beauty, but one actress who stands out among the crowds is the gorgeous and extraordinarily talented Renée Zellweger. In honor of the star's April birthday, we are taking a look back at her best roles!
