Connelly


Beautiful face, long legs, great backside and natural big bosom. I'm truly jealous of Paul Bettany ;) I'm going to purchase the wretched movie Mulholland Falls now so i can work on my mantra ;)

this was jc at 20 yrs old, she has got alot thinner now - check her in requiem or in her oscar winning dress, she's too skinny. truly classically beautiful, i've been a fan of hers since 86 when i saw labyrinth. she looks best imho at the curvacious size she is in the hot spot.

reply

You will note that Jennifer was born in December of 1970. The Hot Spot was released in 1990. Most films are shot the year prior to release. So during filming (mid to late 1989), Jennifer was probably still 18 years old. That is to say, barely legal to appear in this film in the nude beach scene.

IMHO, that picture is one of the sexiest shots ever put on film. To be that well developed at that age with that face... well, always will be a big fan of hers.

She had appeared nude a long time before this one. And I believe she wasn't even legal yet. Check out Once upon a time in America.

Margherita Pace .... body double: Jennifer Connelly

And it seems young Margherita grew into a talented and beautiful young woman herself. http://www.scuolamusicatestaccio.it/dettaglio.asp?id=98

There is some controversy regarding the fact that a body double is credited in "Once Upon a Time in America" It is a convenient way to get around the fact that Jen was only 12 at the time.

Europeans have a much more enlightened view of nudity and sexuality than repressed Americans. Sergio Leone was a perfectionist in every film that he ever made. It is doubtful that young Jen would have any objections. She has shown a lot more than her little tush in many of her other films.

I agree, she is way to thin. Unfortunately she and almost every other hollywood actress has decided that in order to get work when they reach their thirties, that they have to stop eating and or become vegans. It is really sad, because she is one of the most beautiful girls to ever be put on film. She is 4 years younger than myself, but being that thin actually makes her look much older. I think a big part of the problem in hollwood is that in order to be taken seriously as an actress, one has to get rid of the sex pot image; what better way to do that than to look emicated all the time.

..and Hopper used her so beautifully in this film letting us all see what we wanted to. He is so in touch with the viewer. That's what I love about Hopper. He reads my mind. Connelly is a beautiful woman and this films does justice to her beauty. Hopper loves and understands women. So impressed with his film!

reply

she did an obscure movie with John Cusack where they are locked in a Target store overnight and she looks equally great. I agree her current ultrathin look is much less compelling.

reply

I love the scene where she walks out of the water in a black bikini - she is so incredibly gorgeous!

reply

The movie is Career Opportunities and she was in it with Frank Whaley, not John Cusack. It came out a year after The Hot Spot.

Jennifer had her breasts reduced when she was just starting out as an actress. They were much bigger but she wanted to get serious roles and not be viewed as a sex symbol. Even despite the boob reduction, she is still as sexy as hell.

reply

Where did you hear she got her breasts reduced? She's been nude in a half dozen other movies, and she's had the same maginificent figure in all of them. Yes she looked anorexic accepting her Oscar, but she has managed to get back up to a healthier weight, and is as stunning as ever.

reply

"She's been nude in a half dozen other movies"

Tell me which ones, mate. I'd love to see those.

reply

one of them is a brief scene in Inventing the Abbotts.

reply

Jennifer's publicist has denied any breast reduction (this was after the Oscars a couple years ago). Just look at the REST of Jennifer's figure...as she gained some weight in her 20's, her chest got bigger (Career Opportunities, The Rocketeer), but as she lost weight in her late 20's and early 30's, it's gotten smaller.

It's all natural, there were never any enhancements or reductions, just weight gain or loss.

reply

I remember seeing her on Letterman early in her career...I SWEAR he looked at her cleavage the whole time...

Idiots.

Oh yeah, thats just sick

reply

Definitely had reduction surgery. Definitely too thin as well. Have felt this way since 2001.

reply

Sorry to hear your surgery didn't go well. Hope you're feeling better soon. ;)

reply

It's a damn shame she went and hollywoodized herself into a twelve year boy. Once again hollywood ruins another sex pot! Simply put, in this film and Mulholland falls. Nobody looks sexier! That body was made for sex! and I can't think of another one that looks better then she. Goddamn she looked erotic during this film.

reply

Breast reduction surgery is a myth. A lot of posts are correct. She got painfully thin before A Beautiful Mind. I image having a child may have corrected any glandular controversy that remains. I have been a long time fan since first seeing the Hot Spot when it was released. She has chosen a road less traveled in her career and never was a big box office draw until A Beautiful Mind. When I see some of her movies I go "what was she thinking" taking that part?

I have always loved Connelly, but one must admit the Connelly of DARK WATER and other recent efforts is a long slide from the Connelly of HOT SPOT and LABRYNTH. And no amount of makeup or attire can hide the changes. The face isn't what it used to be, but then whose is 20 years later? I guess my biggest complaint is today she is a skeleton with an enormous rack. Back then, she had curves and something to grab onto. Plus that enormous rack. And the face was the face of an angel.

reply

JC is that rare woman who is drop-dead gorgeous AND a very, very good actress. I love her in everything she's ever been in.

The dress she wore when accepting the Oscar for "A Beautiful Mind" was hideous, though--that thing did the near-impossible by managing to wash out her stunning beauty. That's OK--next time she wins, she'll make a better choice. ;)

reply

Connely's role is this movie was well written. She played it subtley. Her acting required her to be emotional at most times.
