Jennifer Connelly

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000124/

One of the large creative forces in the 1980’s was the Jim Henson Company making a lot of interesting films to see what they could achieve in the world of puppetry. One of the films that they did was Labyrinth. Labyrinth introduced the world to a wonderful actress named Jennifer Connelly who has successfully survived the transition from child-actress to Oscar nominee. When I went off to college, one of my dormmates worked at Target and showed me the film “Career Opportunities” which was a dumb film but it did feature Jennifer Connelly riding on an electric horse ride which was still pretty awesome. Recently, she has come back to doing more sci-fi fare with “Hulk” and “The Day the Earth Stood Still”. It is weird though when you see her though and realize that she is missing one of her most recognizable features having had breast-reduction surgery (especially since actresses tend to go in the opposite direction in order to advance their careers).

My favorite look of hers though is the 1940’s gal from “The Rocketeer” and “Dark City”. She does just look like a 40’s lounge singer in those roles and the outfits compliment her looks and features very well.

Movies I've watched her in: Labyrinth; Career Opportunities; The Rocketeer; Dark City; Hulk; The Day the Earth Stood Still; Inkheart; 9
