From a prolific childhood acting career in family entertainment and made-for-TV movies, Camilla Belle went on to become a star with edge-of-your-seat teen date offerings "When a Stranger Calls" (2006), and "The Quiet" (2005). But Belle simultaneously cultivated art house street cred with a mature performance opposite Daniel Day-Lewis in "The Ballad of Jack and Rose" (2005), even as she rocketed into "It" girl status playing a cave woman in "10,000 B.C." (2008) and a psychic government operative in the sci-fi thriller "Push" (2009). A radiant but natural beauty who avoided the trappings of young Hollywood, Belle entered her twenties with a string of dramatic, multi-dimensional leading characters - including the Virgin Mary - that suggested the actress had a long and promising career beyond multiplex entertainment.
Born Camilla Belle Routh in Los Angeles on Oct. 2, 1986, Belle was named after actress Renata Sorrah's character, Camila, on the Brazilian soap opera "Cavalo de Aço" (1973). Belle headed immediately for the spotlight herself, landing her first modeling gig for a national print ad at the age of nine months. The ambitious youngster segued smoothly into acting, appearing in minor roles in television movies such as "Trouble Shooters: Trapped Beneath the Earth" (NBC, 1993), "Empty Cradle" (ABC, 1993) and "Deconstructing Sarah" (USA Network, 1994). After a supporting role in the direct-to-video family feature "Annie: A Royal Adventure" (ABC, 1995), Belle hit the big screen playing a fellow orphanage-dweller of the beloved literary character "A Little Princess" (1995) in Alfonso Cuaron's 1995 remake of the 1939 film classic starring Shirley Temple. The young actress found steady work with roles in "Poison Ivy 2" (1996) and the Jimmy Smits' vehicle "Marshal Law" (Showtime, 1996), returning to theaters in her first major studio film, Steven Spielberg's "The Lost World: Jurassic Park" (1997). In the Nicole Kidman/Sandra Bullock chick-flick "Practical Magic" (1998), Belle had a plum role as the young version of Bullock's character.
Meanwhile, Belle attended the elite, all-girls Marlborough school, taking time off to play Steven Seagal's daughter in the HBO thriller "The Patriot" (1998). In her downtime, Belle studied classical piano and became actively involved in charities, including becoming an international spokesperson for "Kids With a Cause," a program created to provide help for children suffering from poverty, hunger, neglect and abuse. She was in her late teens when she landed her next major film outing, starring in the critically acclaimed indie, "The Ballad of Jack and Rose" (2005), as the commune-dwelling daughter of a single father (Daniel Day-Lewis) whose nontraditional family lifestyle leads to complicated relationships. The same year, Belle portrayed another non-conformist teen in the dark ensemble comedy "The Chumscrubber" and took first billing in the campy horror thriller "The Quiet," where she played a traumatized teen taken in by relatives who shakes up her adopted household.
In 2006, the actress finally got a profile boost when she was cast in the remake of the 1979 slasher classic "When a Stranger Calls (2006), in which she gave an appropriately sympathetic portrayal of a young babysitter being harassed on the phone by an unknown killer who is closer proximity-wise than she knows. The film opened at No. 1 at the box office. The 20-year-old acting veteran went on to star as a kidnapped cave girl opposite Steven Strait in Warner Bros. "10,000 B.C." (2008), a critically lambasted but money-making prehistoric epic directed by Roland Emmerich and starring many a computer animated dinosaur. "Push" (2009), a sci-fi thriller about a group of paranormally gifted subjects trying to overthrow the government agency that controls them, was similarly dismissed by critics but also failed to bring in big box office. That year, the low-key, spotlight-shunning actress uncharacteristically wound up in the gossip blogs when she was spotted at a number of events with teen heartthrob Joe Jonas, after having appeared in a music video of Jonas' pop band, The Jonas
