Jennifer Connelly Biography :

Jennifer Lynn Connelly (born December 12, 1970) is an Academy Award-winning American film actress and former child model. Although she has been working in the film industry since she was a teenager and catapulted to fame on the basis of her appearances in films like Labyrinth and Career Opportunities, she did not receive wide exposure for her work until the 2000 drama Requiem for a Dream, and the 2001 biopic A Beautiful Mind, for which she won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

Connelly is married to the English actor Paul Bettany (born 1971), whom she met while working on A Beautiful Mind. The couple's son, Stellan (named after actor Stellan Skarsgеrd), was born on August 5, 2003. She also has a son, Kai (born 1997), from her relationship with photographer David Dugan. Connelly was born in the Catskill Mountains, New York, to Eileen, an antiques dealer, and Gerard Connelly, who worked in the garment industry. Connelly was raised in Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn, near the Brooklyn Bridge, attending St. Ann's School, except for four years the family spent living in Woodstock, New York. One of her father's friends was an advertising executive, who suggested that she audition at a modeling agency. At the age of 10, her career started in newspaper and magazine ads, then moved to television commercials. She began studying English at Yale, and two years later transferred to Stanford.
