Jennifer Connelly grew up in Brooklyn Heights, just across the
Brooklyn Bridge from Manhattan, except for the four years her family
spent in Woodstock, New York. When she was ten, she began appearing
in newspaper and magazine ads and soon moved on to TV commercials,
and her movie debut, Once Upon a Time in America.
Jennifer enrolled at Yale, then transferred two
years later to Stanford, but opted out of school altogether to pursue
an acting career when she was cast in The Rocketeer, which
also led to a five year relationship with costar, Billy Campbell.
Currently, Jennifer is raising her son, Kai,
whose father is photographer, David Dougan. She appears opposite
Russell Crowe in A Beautiful Mind, and will soon appear in
the Schwarzenegger film, Crusade.

"I think I've changed
as a human being more since I've had Kai than in any other period
in my life. It's such an incredible catalyst for growth. I found
myself questioning absolutely everything: how I spend my time, how
I speak, what kind of projects I work on, how I look at the world.
I feel things differently, I hear things differently, I feel so
much more grounded, I feel so much more myself. The last time I
felt this comfortably seated in myself was when I was about eight,
and I think that's largely because he's so present all the time,
he's so pure. And he demands that of me. There's just so much less
time for artifice, and I think that's really affected my work."
