Her father was in the garment industry, and one of his close friends through the trade was an advertising executive. The executive friend suggested Jennifer audition at a modelling agency. At the age of 10, her career started in newspaper and magazine ads, then moved to television commercials. Her first film role was in the 1984 film Once Upon a Time in America, where she danced for the role of "young Deborah Gelly" in Sergio Leone's gangster epic. She followed that with a major role in Jim Henson's film Labyrinth (1986). She began studying at Yale, but transferred two years later to Stanford. She returned to films in the 1990s, in such titles as The Rocketeer (1990), Dark City (1998), and House of Sand and Fog (2003). Around this time, Connelly had a strange career move, releasing Monologue of Love, a "charming" Japanese single with a semi-classical instrumental arrangement. The B-side of the tape is Message of Love, an interview with music in the background. Along with this odd Japanese single, she also has done many Japanese TV commercials. Selected Filmography
