Zooey Deschanel

Zooey was born on January 17, 1980 in Los Angeles. His family can be considered as highly qualified professionally speaking. In the old fashioned way, Zooey has continued with the family business, which in this case was closely related to the world of celluloid. Her father is Caleb Deschanel , a five-time Best Cinematography Oscar nominee for Chosen for Glory , The Best , Flying Free , The Patriot and The Passion of the Christ . Her mother is Mary Jo Deschanel , a supporting actress in titles like The Spy . In turn, her older sister Hers Emily DeschanelShe is also an actress and currently stars in the television series Bones .

This breeding ground led Zooey to take singing lessons from the age of 11, since the little girl wanted to be a complete actress. However, her family was not particularly helpful for Zooey’s career, as she herself admits that “with a family like mine you have to fight even more than other young people who aspire to become actors.” Debunking the plug theory, Zooey began her career in an episode of the series Veronica’s Secret (1998). That same year she made her film debut as a secondary in the dramatic comedy Mumford .. Throughout her career there are many secondary roles like this, something that is curious, because the girl is pretty and she is not bad at interpreting her. In fact, her clean blue-eyed gaze is perfectly capable of captivating the camera, but she has not yet had a role with which she can convey that magnetism to the viewer. Surely there are many reasons that explain this fact, but to talk about one, Zooey’s own confession serves as an example: “I am the worst at knowing which movie is going to work and which is not. I have no idea and that’s why I’m really surprised when a movie I like does well.”

As a secondary she appeared in Cameron Crowe ‘s Almost Famous (2000) , a good film that served to introduce her generational partner Kate Hudson . Zooey incarnated in this drama the sister of the young protagonist, in charge of journalistically covering the tour of a group. These secondary roles led her to go through romantic comedies such as The Good Girl (2002), where she was the best friend of the ‘prota’, Jennifer Aniston , or Bride by Contract (2006), where she played a similar role except that this time she was Sarah Jessica Parker who played the main role. She remains for the memory of her also the secondary character of her in Elf(2003), where she sang for the first time on screen and played the little Christmas clerk in a store. But probably her most prominent supporting role of hers has been that of Professor Edmuds in A Bridge to Terabithia (2007).

His debut in a leading role was in 2003 in All the Real Girls , where he lived a love story with a troubled boy. Two years later, she once again had the opportunity to carry the weight of a movie thanks to the dramatic comedy A Hot Winter , where she coincided with her mother. In this list of titles that endorse his career, the one that makes the difference between a well-known actor and another ordinary one is missing. However, that title may be just around the corner thanks to M. Night Shyamalan , who could make her the new Toni Collette . The director of The Sixth Sense chose her to co-star with Mark Wahlberg in The Incident. The two actors have played a married couple trying to flee after a deadly epidemic has spread across the United States. This title will hit the screens very soon and will be a litmus test for Zooey’s lively eyes, who will surely know how to win over the viewer.

In the future, suggestive titles lurk like Yes Man , a comedy that he has just shot with Jim Carrey , which guarantees a certain amount of audience. The project Zooey is currently working on is in this more casual line. It’s about 500 Days of Summer , a romantic comedy where she plays a woman who doesn’t believe in love. Changing register, Zooey’s future is also marked by The Robbery of Ellie May and Gospel According to Janis . The first is a mystery film that her father will direct and that will almost certainly have the presence of Zooey to embody a daughter who plans to rob her father. For its part, the biopic Gospel According…It is a project that will once again bring out the musical side of the actress, as it will be the singer Janis Joplin .
