Gorgeous Jennifer Connelly. Actress in great demand (8 photos)

There are only a few such multifaceted and diverse actresses as Jennifer Connelly in modern Hollywood. The actress can easily take on dramatic and comedic roles. He acts in thrillers, science fiction, commercial, and auteur films.





He constantly changes his role, striking with the breadth of his acting range. At the same time, she is very picky in choosing projects, avoiding pass-through roles. Over the 40 years of her film career, the actress has less than sixty works under her belt.



Looking at this beautiful, slender woman, it’s hard to believe that she is already over fifty years old. It seemed like just yesterday she was shining with David Bowie in the adventure musical Labyrinth. But an eternity has passed since then. And behind there is a lot of great work. And everywhere it is different, sometimes shocking.





“Requiem for a Dream”, “House of Sand and Fog”, “Dark Water”, “Blood Diamond”, “The Day the Earth Stood Still”, “Noah”, “American Pastoral” - the films with her participation can be listed for a long time. And each of them is of interest and deserves attention. And for her supporting role in the drama A Beautiful Mind, the actress deservedly received an Oscar. What can I say - she is definitely lucky with both directors and partners on the set.

And even Jennifer Connelly was lucky with her film debut. When she was only twelve years old, Sergio Leone invited her to his film epic “Once Upon a Time in America” - in the company of Robert De Niro and James Woods. The girl was very similar to actress Elizabeth McGovern and was able to play her character as a child. Her path to Hollywood Olympus began with this legendary film.



Interestingly, Jennifer has interesting roots. Her mother came from a family of Polish Jews who once immigrated to the United States. The future movie star was born in New York into a fairly wealthy family. My father was a manufacturer - he sewed children's clothing. Mother ran her own antique salon. One day, on the advice of her father’s friend who worked in the advertising business, the parents sent a photo of their ten-year-old daughter to a modeling agency. From there an invitation came - the girl was hired to film advertisements for printed products and create promotional videos for television.



However, this was not enough for the parents. Mom started taking her daughter to castings. And on one of these days, a fateful meeting took place with Sergio Leone, who was looking for a teenage girl for his crime epic. Personally, I don’t remember any outright failed or passable works by the actress.





Not only her film career was successful, but also her personal life. Even if not right away. In the early 90s, the actress began an affair with fellow actor Bill Campbell. The romance lasted for several years. In 1997, Jennifer had a relationship with photographer David Logan. Son Kai was born.

While working on the film A Beautiful Mind, Connelly met British actor Paul Bettany. The acquaintance grew into a passionate romance, and two years later the couple officially got married. The couple has two children - son Stellan and daughter Agnes Lark.



Despite being very busy on set, the actress prefers to spend time with her family. She also loves to draw, is interested in philosophy, and speaks fluent French and Italian. The secret of her youth and slimness is simple. Jennifer leads a sporty lifestyle: she goes in for swimming, gymnastics, and cycling. They say correctly, when there is a desire, there is enough time for everything - for family, for work, and for yourself.
