Renée Zellweger is a famous and accomplished actor, but success did not come to her easily.
Growing up as the youngest child of immigrants, she was the girl with the unlikely last name, who didn't seem destined for Hollywood and stardom.
When she left home to attend the University of Texas, she worked as a waitress until she started getting roles in little-seen movies.
She finally tried her luck in Los Angeles, and became well-known for playing the role of a likable underdog determined to find happiness.
However, just as she was enjoying her newfound fame, critics commented negatively on her appearance and wrote false reports about her personal life.
Fortunately, Renée knew that she would pull through. She's lucky to have an inner confidence, and she's always been able to depend on that during difficult times.
