Jennifer ConnellySpeaker and Booking Agent Information

Although she has been working in the film industry since she was a teenager, and was catapulted to fame on the basis of her appearances in films like Labyrinth and Career Opportunities, she did not receive critical acclaim for her work until the 2000 drama Requiem for a Dream, and the 2001 biography A Beautiful Mind, for which she won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

Connelly was born in the Catskill Mountains, New York to Gerard and Eileen Connolly; Connelly's father, a clothing manufacturer is a Catholic of Irish and Norwegian descent, while her mother, an antiques dealer, comes from a family of Jewish immigrants from Russia and Poland. Connelly was raised in Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn near the Brooklyn Bridge, attending St. Ann's School, except for four years the family spent living in Woodstock, New York. One of her father's friends through the garment trade was an advertising executive, who suggested that she audition at a modelling agency. At the age of 10, her career started in newspaper and magazine ads, then moved to television commercials.
