Not going to actresses
Probably, we would never know about Jennifer Connelly, if it were not for each other her father, who worked in the advertising business. He first noticed an interesting appearance of the future star and offered parents to take her to samples. So Connelly began to be filmed in advertising for newspapers, magazines, and later for television. The work model was quite satisfied. In addition, Jennifer tried to sing. But on the pair of songs in Japanese did not go. But Mom firmly decided to make a celebrity from his daughter and began to drive her by castings. The first film, where the brunette appeared, became "one day in America" Sergio Leone.
However, fame came to her two years after the Labyrinth, where she starred with David Bowie himself. However, despite this, Jen wanted to have a plan B. Therefore, after graduation, I looked at Yale and studied English and dramatic art for two years, and then translated into Stanford to learn improvisation. But under the pressure of the parents diploma never received. They persuaded her to return to the set.
Too charming and attractive
Jennifer somehow said that he does not like to revise films with their participation at all. Especially early. Perhaps the fact is that directors without constraint exploited an attractive appearance of the actress. It is now Connelly one of the most slender actresses of Hollywood, and in her youth she had very appetizing forms. So, in the tape "Hot Place" was not without hot scenes, in the melodraman "the fictional life of Abbot" she portrayed a sexually relaxed woman, and in the film "Higher Education" - a girl with a non-traditional sexual orientation. She did not bring much success, although critics and praised the game of a young actress.
Career takeoff
In the role of fatal beauty is easy to get stuck. And Connelly, obviously, understood it. At some point, she even put a career on a pause - after several failed films. A real breakthrough has become a role in the drama "Requiem for a Dream". Together with Jared Summer, they played drug addicts in love with a happie-end ribbon. Tape Darren Aronofsky became the end of the cult, and he spoke about Jen, as a serious actress. In the list of "Suppressive Hope", she was detained for a long time: after a year, "Mind Games", where Connelly played his wife Russell Crow's wife. The picture was for the actress of a truly sign. First, she became friends with Crow (after filming, he even gave her a collection "BYUK" of 1979, and later they played together in "Love through time" and "noye"). Secondly, received a nomination for Oscar. Third, I got acquainted with my future husband of Bettany.
By the way, on Paul Jennifer drew attention not to immediately. It was in love with her hardly from 12 years, that is, since then. As she saw her in "Once in America". And, having met Connelly in life, was completely amazed by her beauty. But she was at that moment unbalanced, and even brought up her son from previous relations. However, Bettany's attention was nice. The turning point came hardly any year after filming. And contributed to him the tragedy. On September 11, 2001, twin towers collapsed. Communication in the area of the disaster could not be established for several days. It touched Connelly. When the signal finally began to pass, among other calls, she saw a lot of passed from the floor. And called back. And he fell into her from Europe. This year, their family is fulfilled for 20 years. And they brought up not only the eldest son Connel Kaya, but also common children - Son Stellan and daughter Agnes Lark.
Recognition and criticism
The nomination for Oscar did not pass without a trace: the statuette for the "Mind Games" actress took. Although not particularly believed in the victory and did not even prepare a solemn speech. As a result, on the memories of Jennifer, her before the eyes "there was a sea of people, and I understood that this moment would be seen all over the world, so I didn't want to giggle from joy or cry. I just calmly stood. And I was very shy, which was in a similar situation. I did not even know where to give my hands. "
Of course, after awards for Jen fell out suggestions. And she took advantage of them. In the filmography of the actress, there are works in the tapes "House from Sand and Tuman", "Bloody Diamond", "promise - does not mean marry", "nine", "Alita: Battle Angel." The roles are maximally diverse. Well, Connel can afford, no one doubts her mastery.
Criticize the actress for another. Oddly enough for appearance. In 2001, she dramatically lost weight and holds the weight from the same time. The magnificent bust of the 4th size, which so inspired the directors to undress it on the screen at the beginning of the career. There are hard rumors that Connelly made an operation to reduce the chest - precisely to get away from the roles of sexual beauties. She herself does not confirm this information. And then, put your hand on the heart, you must admit: if this is the only gossip that you can find about actress on the Internet, then it is truly impeccable reputation.
