Jennifer Lynn Connelly (born December 12, 1970) is an American film actress, who began her career as a child model. She subsequently appeared in magazine, newspaper and television advertising before making her motion picture debut in the 1984 crime film Once Upon a Time in America. Connelly continued her career as a model and actress, starring in films such as the 1986 Labyrinth and the 1991 Career Opportunities. She gained critical acclaim for her work in the 1998 science fiction film Dark City and for her portrayal of Marion Silver in 2000 drama Requiem for a Dream.

In 2002, Connelly won an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award and a BAFTA Award for her supporting role as Alicia Nash in Ron Howard's 2001 biopic A Beautiful Mind. Her later film credits include the 2003 Marvel superhero film Hulk, the 2005 thriller Dark Water, the 2006 drama Blood Diamond, the 2008 science fiction The Day the Earth Stood Still and the 2009 romantic comedy He's Just Not That Into You.

Connelly has been married to actor Paul Bettany since 2003; they have two children and she has a child from a previous relationship with photographer David Dugan. She was named Amnesty International Ambassador for Human Rights Education in 2005, and she has been the face of Balenciaga fashion advertisements, as well as for Revlon cosmetics. Magazines including Time, Vanity Fair and Esquire, as well as the Los Angeles Times newspaper have included her on their lists of the world's most beautiful women.

Life and career

Early life

Connelly was born in Round Top, New York, in the Catskill Mountains. She is the daughter of Ilene, an antiques dealer, and Gerard Connelly, a clothing manufacturer.[1][2] Her father was a Roman Catholic with Irish and Norwegian ancestors, while her mother was a yeshiva-educated Jew of Polish and Russian origin.[3][4] She was raised in Brooklyn Heights, near the Brooklyn Bridge, where she attended Saint Ann's, a private school focused on the arts.[5] Her father suffered from asthma, so the family moved to Woodstock, New York in 1976 to escape the city smog.[1] Four years later, the family returned to Brooklyn Heights where Connelly resumed her education at the same school.[6]

Child modelling and early movie appearances

When Connelly was ten years old, an advertising executive friend of her father suggested she audition as a model.[3] As a result she joined the Ford Modeling Agency and began modelling for print advertisements,[2] before moving on to television commercials.[7] She appeared on the cover of several issues of Seventeen in 1986 and 1988.[8][9][10][11] In December 1986 she recorded two pop songs for the Japanese market: "Monologue of Love" and "Message of Love".[12] Connelly sang in phonetic Japanese as she did not speak the language.[7]

Her mother started to take her to acting auditions;[7] at one of these, she was selected for a supporting role as Deborah Gelly in Sergio Leone's 1984 gangster epic, Once Upon a Time in America.[5] In a scene from the film, Connelly had to perform a ballet routine. During the audition for the role, Connelly, who was not trained in ballet attempted to imitate a ballerina. Her performance convinced the director to include her in the cast.[13] Connelly described the movie as "an incredibly idyllic introduction to movie-making".[14] Her first leading role was as Jennifer Corvino in Italian giallo-director Dario Argento's 1985 film Phenomena,[15] followed by the lead in the coming-of-age movie Seven Minutes in Heaven released the same year.[16]

1980s–1990s

Connelly gained public recognition with Jim Henson's 1986 fantasy film Labyrinth, in which she played Sarah, a teenager on a quest to rescue her brother Toby from the world of goblins. Although a disappointment at the box office,[17] the film later became a cult classic.[18] The New York Times, while noting the importance of her part, panned her portrayal: "Jennifer Connelly as Sarah is unfortunately disappointing. Perhaps Mr. Henson gave too much attention to his puppets and not enough to developing a compelling performance in his lead actress. She looks right, but she lacks conviction and seems to be reading rehearsed lines that are recited without belief in her goal or real need to accomplish it. Since the film has only five human characters – Sarah, her parents, who appear briefly at the beginning, baby Toby and Jareth, the goblin king – Sarah's role is very important".[19] Two years later, she starred as a ballet student in the Italian film Étoile,[20] and portrayed college student Gabby in Michael Hoffman's Some Girls.[21] Balancing work and school, she studied English for two years at Yale University in 1988 and 1989 before transferring to Stanford University in 1990 to study drama.[22] There, she trained with Roy London, Howard Fine and Harold Guskin.[23] Encouraged by her parents to continue with her film career,[2] she left college and returned to the movies the same year.[22]

In 1990, Dennis Hopper directed The Hot Spot, in which Connelly was cast as Gloria Harper, a woman blackmailed by Frank Sutton (William Sadler).[24] The movie was a box office failure.[3] In the same year, director Garry Marshall considered her for the role of Vivian Ward in Pretty Woman, but ultimately felt that she was too young for the part.[25] Connelly's next movie was the 1991 romantic comedy Career Opportunities, in which she starred alongside Frank Whaley.[26] Hughes was criticized for exploiting Connelly's image. People deplored an advertisement that showed Whaley watch Connelly ride a mechanical horse: the caption was "He's about to have the ride of his life".[7] In an interview with Rolling Stone during her sophomore year at Yale, Connelly stated, "I don't know about anyone else, but that wasn't something I felt all that comfortable about. That sure as hell wasn't a subject that I was trying to learn about from my professor".[14] The big-budget Disney film The Rocketeer followed later that year, but failed to ignite her career.[27] New York said of her participation, "Connelly is properly cast; she has the moist, full-to-the-cheek bones sensuality of the Hollywood starlets of that period, but she's a little straight too".[28] She appeared alongside Jason Priestley in the Roy Orbison music video for "I Drove All Night" the following year.[29]

In 1995, director John Singleton cast Connelly as a lesbian college student in Higher Learning.[30] She subsequently began to appear in small budget films which did well with critics, such as 1997's drama Inventing the Abbotts set in the late 1950s in which she played the part of Eleanor, one of three daughters of the town millionaire Lloyd Abbott.[31] Her next appearance was in the critically acclaimed 1998 science fiction film Dark City, where she played alongside Rufus Sewell, William Hurt, Ian Richardson and Kiefer Sutherland.[32]

In 2000, Ed Harris directed Conelly in the biopic Pollock in which she played Ruth Kligman, Jackson Pollock's mistress.[33] The same year she appeared in what critics considered her breakthrough film, Requiem for a Dream, directed by Darren Aronofsky and based on the novel of the same name.[34] Connelly played Marion Silver, Harry's (Jared Leto) girlfriend in a movie that also starred Marlon Wayans and Ellen Burstyn and featured characters with different drug addictions who are all on the edge of mental breakdown.[35][36] Critics acclaimed the individual performances, especially those of Connelly and Burstyn, due to the courage needed to demonstrate their characters' constant physical and mental degradation.[37] Connelly stated that she was interested in the script for its depiction of the addictions and their impact on the lives and affections of the characters' relatives.[38] Critic Elvis Mitchell wrote in The New York Times, "Ms. Connelly, too, whittled herself down to a new weight class, and it's her performance that gives the movie weight, since her fall is the most precipitous. By the end, when she curls into a happy fetal ball with a furtive smile on her face, she has come to love her debasement ... Her dank realization is more disturbing than anything in the novel, and Ms. Connelly has never before done anything to prepare us for how good she is here."[37] During 2000 she made her first television appearance as Catherine Miller, in the FOX drama series The $treet, about a brokerage house in New York City.[39]

Also in 2000, she appeared in Waking the Dead, a film based on the 1986 novel of the same name, playing Sarah Williams, an activist killed by a car bomb in Minneapolis while driving Chilean refugees.[40] About her role, Connelly said, "Waking the Dead was the first film I worked on where whatever I did felt like my own thing. I was really trying to make something of the part and threw myself into it, so that meant a lot to me".[41] The New York Times described her performance, "As Sarah, Ms. Connelly captures a burning ethereality and willfulness that are very much of the period. And she and Mr. Crudup connect powerfully in love scenes that convey the fierce tenderness of a relationship whose passion carries a tinge of religious fervor."[42]

The script of Ron Howard's 2001 film A Beautiful Mind, which was loosely based on the 1998 biography of John Nash by the journalist Sylvia Nasar, sparked her interest in the project.[43] She was cast by the film's producer, Brian Gazer, to portray Alicia Nash, the long-suffering wife of the brilliant, schizophrenic mathematician (played by Russell Crowe).[44] Connelly was invited for an audition after her agent, Risa Shapiro, sent the producers a tape with a clip of the then-unreleased Requiem for a Dream. Connelly and Crowe auditioned along with other actors; Howard and the producers eventually chose them for their respective parts after being particularly impressed by their screen chemistry.[45] The film was a critical and commercial success, grossing more than US$313 million worldwide.[46] For her portrayal, Connelly earned a Golden Globe,[47] an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress,[48] and a BAFTA for Best Actress in a Supporting Role.[49] Time magazine critic Richard Schickel called her performance "luminous" and the actress intelligent and passionate.[50] Roger Ebert wrote, "...Jennifer Connelly is luminous as Alicia. Although the showier performance belongs to Crowe, it is Connelly's complex work, depicting a woman torn by love for and fear of the same man, that elevates the film to a higher level".[51] Connelly stated afterwards, "[A Beautiful Mind] is the film I'm really proud of and really love."[30] A.O. Scott of The New York Times said, "There is, for one thing, Ms. Connelly, keen and spirited in the underwritten role of a woman who starts out as a math groupie and soon finds herself the helpmeet of a disturbed, difficult man."[52]

According to Connelly, she was interested in Ang Lee's Hulk (2003) because of his philosophical perspective on the Marvel Comics superhero.[53] She described it as "a family psycho-drama with hints of Greek tragedy".[54] She played Betty Ross, a scientist and the former girlfriend of the main character, Bruce Banner. The film was a moderate success.[55] It was followed the same year by The House of Sand and Fog, a drama based on the novel by Andre Dubus III. She portrayed Kathy Nicolo, an abandoned wife whose inherited house is sold at auction to the Iranian emigre and former colonel Massoud Amir Behrani (Ben Kingsley).[56] The film was given worldwide critical acclaim with a BBC reporter commenting, "[Connelly] convinces totally as a selfish, desperate and lonely woman who confesses to her brother, 'I just feel lost'".[57]

2005–2007

After a two-year absence from the film scene, Connelly returned in the 2005 horror/psychological thriller Dark Water, which was based on a 2002 Japanese film of the same name.[7] She played Dahlia, a frightened young woman traumatized by her past, who moves with her daughter (Ariel Gade) to an apartment on Roosevelt Island in New York City where paranormal happenings take place.[58] In his review, critic Roger Ebert wrote, "I cared about the Jennifer Connelly character; she is not a horror heroine but an actress playing a mother faced with horror. There is a difference, and because of that difference, Dark Water works".[59]

Both films that she appeared in the following year were nominated for multiple Academy Awards.[60] She played Kathy Adamson in an adaptation of the novel Little Children alongside Kate Winslet, a movie which focuses on the relationship between Sarah Pierce (played by Winslet) and Brad Adamson (Patrick Wilson).[61] Connelly co-starred in Blood Diamond opposite Leonardo DiCaprio where she portrayed journalist Maddy Bowen, who is working on exposing the real story behind blood diamonds.[62] New York praised her performance: "Connelly is such a smart, sane, unhistrionic actress that she almost disguises the fact that her character is a wheeze."[63]

Her next appearance was as Grace in the drama Reservation Road with Joaquin Phoenix and Mark Ruffalo, a film released in 2007.[64] By her own account, the character she played in the movie proved tougher than any of her previous roles.[65] USA Today's Susan Wloszczyna commented, "The strong performances of Jennifer Connelly and Mark Ruffalo ... raise the film above overheated melodrama".[66]

2008–2011

Connelly portrayed astrobiologist Helen Benson alongside Keanu Reeves in the 2008 remake of the 1951 science fiction film The Day The Earth Stood Still. Unlike the original movie, in which Benson was a secretary and her romantic relationship with Klaatu was the focus of the story, the remake featured Benson in a troubled relationship with her stepson, portrayed by Jaden Smith.[67] This was followed by a role in the 2009 romantic comedy He's Just Not That Into You, which also featured Jennifer Aniston and Ginnifer Goodwin.[68] The film was based on the self-help book of the same name.[69] Variety praised her portrayal: "Despite its layer of darkness Connelly gives a really rich performance as a woman whose principles back her into a corner".[70] Her next project was a cameo appearance in the 2008 fantasy film Inkheart.[71]

In 2009 she appeared in the costume drama biopic Creation, in which she played Emma Darwin, wife of Charles Darwin, opposite her real-life husband Paul Bettany.[72] Set during the writing of On the Origin of Species, the movie depicts Darwin's struggle with the subject of the book as well as with his wife, who opposed his theories, and their mourning for their daughter Annie.[73] The San Francisco Chronicle wrote, "Darwin's wife, a religious woman who disapproved of her husband's theories, is played by Jennifer Connelly, Bettany's real-life wife, in the kind of casting that doesn't always work, but it does here. We believe in the Darwins' history together, their familiarity and affection. Connelly's English accent is also as good as Renée Zellweger's and Gwyneth Paltrow's. She doesn't get just the sounds right, but also the music and the attitude".[74] She then voiced the character named "7" in the animated film 9.[75]

Dustin Lance Black's What's Wrong With Virginia premiered on September 15, 2010, at the Toronto International Film Festival.[76] Connelly portrayed the title role of Virginia, a mentally unstable woman who has a 20-year affair with the local sheriff, whose daughter then starts a relationship with Virginia's son.[77] According to Cinema Blend, "Virginia is propped up by a strong central performance, with Connelly doing some of her best work in years".[78]

In 2011, Connelly starred in Ron Howard's comedy The Dilemma, which premiered on January 14. Connelly played Beth, opposite Vince Vaughn.[79] Although the Austin Chronicle's review noted, "Vaughn nails it, and his nicely nuanced everyguy performance is aided by the always-excellent Connelly,"[80] the movie opened to generally negative reviews.[81] Variety remarked, "Connelly, though a shade looser and more spontaneous than usual, seems stuck at an emotional remove from the action".[82] Her next project, George Ratliff's Salvation Boulevard, premiered during the 2011 Sundance Film Festival.[83] In the film Connelly played Gwen, the wife of Carl Vanderveer (Greg Kinnear); the couple are members of the Church of the Third Millennium, led by pastor Dan (Pierce Brosnan).[84]

Connelly lives in TriBeCa, New York City,[85] with her husband and children. She describes herself as a family-oriented person and was quoted as saying, "The family is the most important thing to me".[86]

Her first son, Kai, was born in 1997, from her relationship with photographer David Dugan.[87] In 2009, she stated, "Becoming a mother has made all the difference in terms of learning to take more responsibility for myself and my life ... Parenthood changed the way I do everything."[88] Once a vegan, she gave it up during her first pregnancy.[89] On January 1, 2003, she married actor Paul Bettany, whom she met while working on A Beautiful Mind, in a private family ceremony in Scotland.[90] The couple's first child, Stellan, named after their friend, actor Stellan Skarsgård,[91] was born the same year. She gave birth to her third child, Agnes Lark, on May 31, 2011 in New York City.[92]

On November 14, 2005, Connelly was named Amnesty International Ambassador for Human Rights Education.[93] She appeared in an advertisement highlighting the global need for clean water and sought donations for African, Indian, and Central American drilling projects.[94] On May 2, 2009, she participated in Revlon's annual 5k Run/Walk for Women along with Jessica Alba and Jessica Biel.[95]

Parisian fashion house Balenciaga and Revlon cosmetics signed Connelly as the face of their 2008 campaigns.[96][97] Publications such as Vanity Fair, Esquire, and the Los Angeles Times have included her in their rankings of the most beautiful women in the world.[98][99][100] Connelly speaks Italian and French fluently.[3]
