Jennifer Connelly

Jennifer Connelly is an American actress who has been active in the entertainment industry since the early 1980s. She began her career as a child model before making her acting debut in the 1984 crime film Once Upon a Time in America. After a few more years of modeling, she began to concentrate on acting, starring in a variety of films including the horror film Phenomena (1985), the musical fantasy film Labyrinth (1986), the romantic comedy Career Opportunities (1991), and the period superhero film The Rocketeer (1991). She received praise for her performance in the science fiction film Dark City (1998) and playing a drug addict in Darren Aronofsky's drama film Requiem for a Dream (2000). In 2002, Connelly won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of Alicia Nash in Ron Howard's biopic A Beautiful Mind (2001). Her subsequent films include the superhero film Hulk (2003), the horror film Dark Water (2005), the psychological drama Little Children (2006), the drama film Blood Diamond (2006), the science fiction film The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008), the romantic comedy He's Just Not That Into You (2009), and the biopic Creation (2009). In the subsequent decades, she took on supporting roles in Aronofsky's biblical epic film Noah (2014) and in the action films Alita: Battle Angel (2019) and Top Gun: Maverick (2022). She starred in the TNT dystopian television series Snowpiercer from 2020 to 2022.

Connelly was born on December 12, 1970, in Cairo, New York, in the Catskill Mountains, the only child of Ilene, an antique dealer, and Gerard Karl Connelly, a clothing manufacturer. She has an older sister from her father’s previous marriage. Her father was a Catholic of Irish and Norwegian descent. Her mother was Jewish and was educated at a yeshiva; Connelly's maternal ancestors were Jewish emigrants from Poland and Russia. Connelly was raised primarily in Brooklyn Heights, near the Brooklyn Bridge, where she attended Saint Ann's, a private school specializing in the arts. Her father suffered from asthma so the family moved to Woodstock, New York, in 1976, to escape the city smog. Four years later, the family returned to Brooklyn Heights, and Connelly returned to Saint Ann's School. After graduating from high school, Connelly went to Yale University to study English literature.
