Though she is cast as a stereotypical seductive “bad girl,” as she often would be throughout her career, she nevertheless gives her character an interesting edge.Ĭonnelly has a small part in John Singleton’s college drama as the lesbian leader of a campus feminist group who recruits and falls in love with a naive freshman. Bruce Banner (Eric Bana) and the estranged daughter of the general trying to capture him (Sam Elliot).Ĭonnelly is the best part of this middling indie movie about a messy love triangle between two poor brothers and the wealthy sisters they have their eyes on in a 1950s midwestern town. The actors do their best with the melodramatic script, including Connelly in the role of the boy’s grief-stricken mother.Ĭonnelly’s second outing as a superhero’s girlfriend was in Ang Lee’s uneven big-screen adaptation of “The Incredible Hulk.” She plays Betty Ross, who is both the love interest of Dr. Director Terry George’s disappointing follow-up to “Hotel Rwanda” tells the story of a man seeking justice for his young son killed in a hit-and-run accident, who does not realize how close he is to the guilt-ridden perpetrator. “Reservation Road” was considered an awards frontrunner right up until people actually saw the film.

In addition to her Oscar, Globe and BAFTA success, Connelly earned SAG bids for “A Beautiful Mind” (Actress and Ensemble), an additional Critics Choice nomination for “House of Sand and Fog” (Best Actress in 2003) and an Independent Spirit nom as Best Supporting Actress for “Requiem for a Dream.” She’s yet to compete at the Emmys, however, which could certainly change with this rare foray into television. While Connelly is still often called upon to play the romantic interest, she has proven herself to be talented and versatile enough to make those characters more complicated. She wouldn’t receive widespread critical recognition until “Requiem For A Dream” (2000) and “A Beautiful Mind” (2001), the latter of which would earn her an Oscar, Golden Globe, BAFTA and Critics Choice Award for Best Supporting Actress. However, due to her stunning looks she was often relegated to play either the hero’s girlfriend or the main character’s mistress. She achieved mainstream success in Jim Henson’s “Labyrinth” (1985), and shortly after graduated to more adult roles. Jennifer Connelly started acting at age 12 will a small part in Sergio Leone’s “Once Upon A Time In America” (1984).
