"Jennifer Lynn Connelly (born on December 12, 1970) is an American film actress and former child model. Although starring as early as a teenager in films such as Once Upon a Time in America, Labyrinth and Career Opportunities, she gained critical acclaim following her work in the 1998 science fiction film Dark City, 2000 drama Requiem for a Dream, and the 2001 biopic A Beautiful Mind, for which she won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, as well as the BAFTA and Golden Globe awards."
On May 07, Jennifer made an appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. She talked about her new role in Virginia and what it was like to work with David Bowie on The Labyrinth back in the day. You can watch the interview here.
Jennifer Connelly has followed in the footsteps of Hugh Laurie and America Ferrera by signing up as an Artist Ambassador for Save the Children. The A Beautiful Mind actress, a mother of three, is using her star power to raise awareness of the organisation which helps youngsters in need around the world. Connelly says, “I’m honoured to be an Artist Ambassador for Save the Children, working to ensure all children receive an equal start in life. An investment in our children is an investment in our future. “As a mom, I welcome this opportunity to help other moms around the world achieve the dreams they have for their children.”
On April 22, Jennifer Connelly, Paul Bettany and Brendan Fraser strike a pose together at the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival after party for Whole Lotta Sole held at Anchor Bar in New York City. Jennifer also met up with Californication‘s Natascha McElhone at the after party. Whole Lotta Sole is a comedy featuring Brendan. The film premiered at this year’s festival and centers on a botched fish market robbery that leads to the involvement of the local police and a gangster out for revenge.
The trailer for the upcoming Virginia film, starring Jennifer Connelly, Ed Harris, Emma Roberts, and Toby Jones, has appeared online. Check it out below.
Plot: Virginia (Connelly) is a beautiful yet unhinged single mother who struggles to raise her son Emmett (Harrison Gilbertson) while dreaming of escaping her small Southern boardwalk town. Her long time affair with the very married, Mormon Sheriff Richard Tipton (Harris) is thrown into question when he decides to run for public office. Things are further complicated when Emmett begins a romantic relationship with Tipton’s daughter (Roberts). Virginia and the town are full of secrets and everyone knows Virginia can only keep things together for so long.
The new movie is written and directed by Dustin Lance Black (writer of J. Edgar and Milk), and is set to get a limited theatrical run on May 18th.
Jennifer Connelly is returning to work with Darren Aronofsky since her breakout performance in his indie-cult Requiem For a Dream. She is in negotiations for the female lead in his upcoming passion project Noah. Connelly would star alongside Russell Crowe, who was recently slated for the title character, as his wife, Naameh. The studio is also showing strong interest for Saoirse Ronan to join in a supporting role.
The pic will be based on the biblical story with an edgier tone. For example, Aronofsky previously stated that he will highlight Noah’s love for alcohol, particularly wine, in the film, a quietly known fact about the biblical figure that normally goes unnoticed.
Connelly has been realtivly quiet on the film front and was last seen in last year’s indie Salvation Boulevard opposite Pierce Brosnan. She is currently at work on the Charlize Theron-produced drama Ice at the Bottom of the World.

Quoting Jennifer
"Acting is great. When it works it is so fulfilling. You do the research and work with other talented people who are creative and compassionate and use all your faculties. The ability to express yourself completely is the most wonderful feeling in the world. Each film is a chapter in my life wherein I learn so much more about myself."
