She dropped out to pursue acting in New York City, but found it difficult to establish herself. She moved to Los Angeles, California and landed a series of small roles in several independent films and, eventually, she got the lead role in the TV version of the movie Working Girl. Bullock's first notable movie appearance was in Demolition Man in 1993 and also in "Fire on the Amazon" in a fantastically sweaty and erotic performance, which led to her breakthrough performance in Speed the following year (Straighteners).
