Connelly was born in the Catskill Mountains of New York, the daughter of Ilene, an antiques dealer, and Gerard Connelly, a clothing manufacturer who worked in the garment industry.[8][9] Her father was Roman Catholic and of Irish and Norwegian descent; her mother was Jewish, a descendant of emigrants from Russia and Poland,[10][11] and was schooled in a yeshiva.[12] Connelly was raised in Brooklyn Heights, near the Brooklyn Bridge, and attended St. Ann's private school,[13] except for four years the family spent living in Woodstock, New York.[14]

One of her father's friends was an advertising executive, who suggested that she should audition in order to become a child model.[15][11] She received the representation from the Ford modeling agency.[16] At the age of ten, Connelly's career started in newspaper and magazine ads, then moved to television commercials. In 1984, she appeared in Duran Duran's concept concert video Arena (An Absurd Notion).[17] From 1986 to 1992, she appeared in several issues of the Seventeen Magazine as well as in Japanese magazine Roadshow[18] and on December 1986 recorded the pop single “Monologue of Love” singing in phonetic Japanese.[15]

All these appearances led to movie auditions and her first film role was as Deborah Gelly, a supporting role in Sergio Leone's 1984 gangster epic, Once Upon a Time in America, filmed mostly in 1982 when she was eleven.[19] She next starred in Italian horror-director Dario Argento's 1985 film Phenomena[20] and in the coming-of-age movie Seven Minutes in Heaven[21].

Balancing work and school, she enrolled at Yale University where she studied English and Drama for the two following years,[22] before transferring to Stanford University to train in classical Theater and improvisation with Roy London, Howard Fine and Harold Guskin. She did not graduate.[23]

Career

Early career

Connelly became a star with her next picture, the 1986 fantasy film Labyrinth. She played Sarah, a teenager on the quest to rescue her little brother Toby, while trapped in an enormous otherworldly maze ruled by goblin King Jareth, portrayed by David Bowie, where she must journey to retrieve him. The film disappointed at the box office, but became a cult classic in later years with a large fan base still in existence.[24] She starred as Jennifer Corvino in Phenomena under the direction from Italo giallo master[25] Dario Argento.[26] Connelly starred in several obscure films, such as the 1988 Etoile, one of the less successful in her career, which was never released in the United States[27] and the Michael Hoffman-directed Some Girls, in which she portrayed the college student Gabby.[28] In the 1990 Dennis Hopper-directed The Hot Spot, she played Gloria Harper, a woman thrilled by Frank Sutton, portrayed by William Sadler.[29] The movie was a box office failure.[30][11] Her next movie was the 1991 romantic comedy Career Opportunities, which starred along Frank Whaley.[31] The big-budget Disney film The Rocketeer failed[32] to ignite Connelly's career; that led her to took some time off from acting. The next year, she appeared alongside Jason Priestley in the Roy Orbison music video for "I Drove All Night".[33]

It wasn't until the middle of the 1990s that she started to demonstrate her ability to handle more mature roles.[34][35] The 1996 independent film Far Harbor played her against type and hinted at a much broader range than she had previously shown. Connelly began to appear in smaller but well-regarded films, such as 1997's drama Inventing the Abbotts, and 2000's Waking the Dead. In the first one, set in the late 1950s,[36] she personified Eleanor, one of the three daughters of the town millionaire Lloyd Abbot,[37] while in the second, based on the 1986 novel of the same name,[38] her character was Sarah.[39] She played a collegiate lesbian[35][40] in John Singleton's 1995 ensemble drama, Higher Learning.[41] The critically favored 1998 in film science fiction film Dark City, in which she played a supporting role and afforded her the chance to work with such actors as Rufus Sewell, William Hurt, Ian Richardson, and Kiefer Sutherland.[42] Connelly revisited her ingenue image, although in a more understated way, for the 2000 biopic Pollock,[43] in which she played Jackson Pollock's mistress. The same year she portrayed the role of Catherine Miller in the FOX drama series The $treet, making her first Television appearance,[35] about a brokerage house in New York City.[44]

Breakthrough and early 2000s

Connelly in Central Park, New York City, June 2005.

Connelly's big breakthrough was the 2000 film Requiem for a Dream, directed by Darren Aronofsky,[45] based in the novel of the same name.[46] Connelly played Marion, the girlfriend of Harry, portrayed by Jared Leto. Also starred in the movie Marlon Wayans and Ellen Burstyn.[47] The movie depicts characters with different drug addictions on the edge of a breakdown.[48] The critics acclaimed the individual performances of the actors, especially Connelly's and Burstyn's, because of the courage they had to exhibit in order to be able to demonstrate their characters' constant physical and mental degradation during the film[49].

She remained almost anonymous until her role in Ron Howard's film A Beautiful Mind[50] (2001), essaying the role of Alicia Nash, the long-suffering wife of the brilliant, schizophrenic mathematician John Forbes Nash, Jr. (played by Russell Crowe).[51] The film was a critical and commercial success and earned Connelly a Golden Globe,[52] an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress[53] and a BAFTA for Best Actress in a Supporting Role[54] as well;

“ (A Beautiful Mind is) the film I'm really proud of and really love.[55] ”

Time magazine called her performance "luminous".[56]

Connelly starred in two films in 2003: Hulk and House of Sand and Fog. In Hulk she portrayed the scientist and former girlfriend of the main character, Betty Ross. She stated that the philosophical perspective of the noted director Ang Lee on the Marvel's superhero was the reason that awoke her interest in taking the role.[57] The movie would result in a moderate success at the box office.[58] House of Sand and Fog, based on the novel by Andre Dubus III, was reminiscent of much of her independent film work of the late 1990s. Her character was Kathy Nicolo, an abandoned wife whose inherited house is sold at auction to the Iranian emigre Massoud Amir Behrani[59] (Ben Kingsley). The struggles between Kathy and the foreign Colonel intensify throughout the story as the characters fall in a downward spiral of events.[60]

2005 - 2007

After two years off acting[61] Connelly appeared in the 2005 horror film and psychological thriller[62] Dark Water, her first horror movie since Phenomena.[63] The film was based on a 2002 Japanese film. She personifies an frightened young woman, Dahlia who is traumatized by her past and moves with her daughter (played by Ariel Gade) to an Roosevelt Island apartment where paranormal happenings take place.[64]

Connelly at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2009

In 2006, Connelly appeared in two films, both of which were nominated for multiple Academy Awards.[65][66] She played a major role in an adaptation of the novel Little Children alongside Kate Winslet. Although her role as Kathy Adamson is very important in the novel, director Todd Field gave her character less screen time, instead focusing on the characters played by Winslet[67] and Patrick Wilson. She acted in Blood Diamond opposite Leonardo DiCaprio. In the film she portrays the journalist Maddy Bowen, who tries to collect the necessary information in order to expose the story behind the blood diamonds.[68]

She next appeared as Grace in Reservation Road with Joaquin Phoenix and Mark Ruffalo, which was given a limited release in the fall of 2007.[69] According to her, the character she portrayed in this movie was the toughest role she has ever played in her career.[70]

2008 - Present

In 2008 she appeared alongside Keanu Reeves in the 2008 remake of the 1951 science fiction film The Day The Earth Stood Still. Connelly, a fan of the original movie,[71] played the Princeton University astrobiologist Dr. Helen Benson. Unlike the original movie, where her character was a secretary and the focus of the movie was balanced in her romantic relationship with Klaatu, the remake emphasizes on the troubled relationship between her and her stepson portrayed by Jaden Smith.[72] The astronomer Seth Shostak prepared her in order to understand the scientific jargon of the character.[73]

She also co-starred in a role opposite Jennifer Aniston and Ginnifer Goodwin in the 2008 romantic comedy He's Just Not That Into You,[74] based on self-help book of the same name,[75] where she played Janine.[76] Her next work was a small role in the fantasy film Inkheart.[77]

Her 2009 roles included the costume drama biopic Creation, in which she personified Emma Darwin, wife of Charles Darwin, played by her real-life husband, Paul Bettany.[78] The movie took place during the writing of On the Origin of Species by Dr. Darwin and the struggle along with his religious wife, Emma, who opposed the theories while they were in deep grief for the passing of their daughter Annie.[79] The same year she voiced 7, in the animation film 9.[80]

In 2008, she was named the face of Balenciaga's advertisements,[81] as well as the new face for Revlon cosmetics.[82]

Personal life

Despite her successful film career Connelly stated that she prefers to live a family life with her husband and children when she is not working.[11] She also expressed that the most important thing in her life is her family,[83] with whom she lives in TriBeCa, New York City.[84]

“ I try to stay focused on my life and do try not to be brought into the Hollywood fantasy.[85] ”

Her first son, Kai was born in 1997, from her relationship with photographer David Dugan.[86] She gave up her veganism during her first pregnancy.[87] In 2003 she married the actor Paul Bettany[5], whom she met while working on A Beautiful Mind, in a private family ceremony in Scotland.[88] The couple's first child and Connelly's second, Stellan,[89] named after their friend, actor Stellan Skarsgård,[90] was born the same year. His godfather is the actor Charlie Condou.[91]

Connelly contributed to several charity causes. On November 14 2005, She was named Amnesty International Ambassador for Human Rights Education.[92] She was featured in an advertising for highlighting the need of clean water of people globally with the end of finance with donations drilling projects in Africa, India, and Central America.[93] On May 2 2009, she participated of Revlon's annual 5k Run/Walk for Women along with Jessica Alba and Jessica Biel.[94] She is also a fluent speaker in Italian and French[95][96][11]
