Slideshow:Renee Zellweger Photo Gallery

Everyone first remembers Renee Zellweger for her famous (now infamous) "You had me at hello" line while starring opposite Tom Cruise in Jerry Maguire", but she had done other critically acclaimed work before the blockbuster romantic comedy came along. Her most noted and critically praised role at the time was in the film Love and a .45. Zellweger also had her first onscreen kiss with Ethan Hawke in Reality Bites and met Matthew McConaughey while filming The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. This wasn't Renee's fist encounter with the McConaughey, she had a non-speaking part in his first feature film Dazed and Confused. Numerous awards and a decade later, Renee has definitely earned her place as one of Hollywood's highest paid actors.
