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 sons, Kai Dugan and Stellan Bettany with her husband, David Bettany. She appears opposite Russell Crowe in A Beautiful Mind.
