Speaking to7Newsabout her iconic role, Burns shared, “It’s kind of like a second birthday.
It’s a really nice day for me.'”
However, unlikeSandra Bullock, whose career soared after the film, Burns' movie career faltered somewhat.
Here’s what Cheryl from “Miss Congeniality” looks like today.
“She really worked on fostering a sense of us having relationships before we went in.
And then she just ran this kind of glamorous set,” the actor said.
Although it was a minor role, it was Burns' next big film project.
In fact, Bullock herself wasn’t too proud of the film.
“No, no.
Two shouldn’t have been done.
It should’ve remained a one-off,” she said.
However, Bullock did admit that what saved the movie was getting to work with Regina King.
Zach Galifianakis and Ted Danson starred alongside Schwartzman, and Burns portrayed the girlfriend of Galifianakis' character.
… Jonathan Ames has such a unique, eccentric voice, but the characters are so relatable.
The guys were great to work with too.
I’m a fan of all three of them and they are super nice and funny people."
The couple had been together for quite some time before tying the knot.
Burns and Naidu had been in a relationship since high school.
They are also the parents of one child.
For Burns, working with her hubby isn’t always rainbows and sunshine, but they make it work.
Speaking with Trainwreck’d Society, she stated, “Yes, it was stressful working together at times.
Making a film is, in general, stressful.
Especially when you have a very low budget.
So, yes, we had our fights.
I would do it again.
I feel we both learned so much.
It is fun to watch something evolve from nothing into its own entity.”
Acting in television shows helped Burns' career thrive.
In 2001, Burns starred as police officer Dawn in the off-Broadway show “Lobby Hero.”
Two years later, the actor starred in Woody Allen’s “Writer’s Block”.
Then, in 2005, she was in “Fran’s Bed.”
I think, ‘What was I thinking?
This takes so much stamina.’
It would be Burns' last film role before her series of appearances on popular television shows.
Speaking toSelig Film Newsat the 2016 Austin Film Festival, she shared, “It was so much fun.
We shot for six weeks at night in Tennessee, in June.
We all, as a result, bonded incredibly.”
That’s not all for Burns.
It will mark the first time the couple are starring in a movie together in 20 years.
In turn, the pair develop a friendship that deepens over time.

“At the time, I was so happy playing her.
As William Shatner oncetweeted, April 25 is officially “Happy #PerfectDateDay!”
