Jennifer Connelly: Dark Water
built 220 days ago
Now came Inventing The Abbotts, where Jennifer impressed as a bad girl alongside Billy Crudup, Joaquin Phoenix and Liv Tyler, as two young boys attempted to court three sisters. Then there was Dark City, a weird-out from Alex Proyas, director of The Crow. Here Jennifer played the wife of Rufus Sewell, a man who wakes into a sunless world to discover he has no memory and is surrounded by people who can make everything stop dead, move things around, and then start everything up again. What the hell is going on, and why is there no way out?

The big-budget Disney film The Rocketeer (1991) similarly failed to ignite Connelly's career; after its failure she took some time off from acting. The 1996 indie film Far Harbor played her against type and hinted at a much broader range than she had previously shown. Connelly began to appear in smaller but well-regarded films, such as 1997's Inventing the Abbotts and 2000's Waking the Dead. She played a collegiate lesbian in John Singleton's 1995 ensemble drama, Higher Learning. The critically favored 1998 science fiction film Dark City afforded her the chance to work with such actors as Rufus Sewell, William Hurt, Ian Richardson and Kiefer Sutherland. Connelly revisited her ingenue image, though in a more understated way, for the 2000 Jackson Pollock biopic Pollock, in which she played Pollock's mistress.

Fortunately for Connelly, she is not going through a divorce like her Dark Water character, and as a movie star, she can afford to live in nice places. Best of all, she can keep her children close to her when she goes to work.
