Career

Belle began appearing in print ads at the age of nine months. She progressed into commercials and began working in movies for network and cable television. Throughout the 1990s, she appeared in several made for television and direct to video movies, including Trapped Beneath the Earth, Annie: A Royal Adventure!, Poison Ivy II: Lily and Marshal Law. She had minor roles in several widely-released films, including A Little Princess, The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Practical Magic, as well as the lead role as Lizzie in Back to the Secret Garden. She was also in a commercial for America's Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) during the late 1990s. The Disney channel original movie, “Rip Girls”, earned Belle a Young Artist acting nomination.[17]

In 2005, Belle starred in the film The Ballad of Jack and Rose, playing the daughter of Daniel Day-Lewis' character. The film only received a limited theatrical release, but Belle was labeled an "impressive newcomer" by film critic James Berardinelli.[18] The film was her first in nearly four years. Belle’s role as Rose also earned her the Gotham Award nomination for the Breakthrough Award.[19] The same year, Belle also had a major role in The Chumscrubber, which received only a brief and limited theatrical release.

Belle was subsequently cast in the lead role in Screen Gems' horror film remake, When a Stranger Calls. The film was released on February 3, 2006 and was considered successful at the United States box office, grossing over $45 million after an opening of over $21 million.[20] Later in 2006, she acted opposite Elisha Cuthbert and Edie Falco in The Quiet, a darkly comic drama in which she played a deaf-mute teenage orphan. Shortly after the release of When a Stranger Calls, Belle was cast opposite Steven Strait in the Warner Bros. film, 10,000 BC, a prehistoric epic directed by Roland Emmerich. Filming began in spring of 2006 in South Africa and Namibia and the film was released March 7, 2008.[21] Belle stars alongside actors Chris Evans and Djimoun Hounsou in the 2008 thriller, Push.[22] She is also the face of Vera Wang's 'Princess' fragrance.
