Shelbie Bruce isn’t your normal Texas girl. Recently starring opposite Adam Sandler and Tea Leoni in Spanglish, Shelbie is quickly forging herself as a Hollywood force to be reckoned with. In fact she recently attended the Imagen Awards where she won the best supporting acting category for her work in the film.

Born in Brownsville, Texas Shelbie got her start in modeling before her coach suggested she get an agent. After attending a showcase in San Antonio, Shelbie was noticed by Scott Wine from The Osbrink Agency and soon after signed with the company in Los Angeles.

Some of her most recent projects include roles in "The Romeo Show", "Ned's De-classified, School Survival Guide", ER, Providence, and Escape School.

In addition, Shelbie has a licensing agreement with Claire's Boutique for her own Jewelry and Accessory line which launched on September 8, 2006. She will also be launching her own Perfume in the spring of 2007, with Revelation Fragrances.

However, Shelbie is not just an actress. Her favorite pastime is singing, which she practices regularly in her choir. She also enjoys horses, tennis, sports and her studies. Taking her home-schooled education very seriously, Shelbie often ventures out on trips around the country with her family, visiting many historical and educational sites.

Shelbie resides in Los Angeles with her parents and brother Robby.
