Biography |
Camilla Belle Routh better known as Camilla Belle, is an
American actress.
Belle was born in Los Angeles, California to Jack Routh (an
American) and Cristina Gould, who is from São Paulo, Brazil
and now works as her manager. Belle attended the Marlborough
School, a prestigious, independent all-girls school in Los
Angeles.
Belle began appearing in print ads at the age of nine
months. She progressed into commercials and began working in
movies for network and cable television. Throughout the
1990s, she appeared in several made for television and
direct to video movies, including Trapped Beneath the Earth,
Annie: A Royal Adventure!, Poison Ivy II and Marshal Law.
She had minor roles in several widely-released films,
including A Little Princess, The Lost World: Jurassic Park
and Practical Magic.
In 2005, Belle starred in the film The Ballad of Jack and
Rose, playing the daughter of Daniel Day-Lewis' character.
The film only received a limited theatrical release, but
Belle was labeled an "impressive newcomer" by film critic
James Berardinelli. The film was her first in nearly four
years. The same year, Belle also had a major role in The
Chumscrubber, which received only a brief and limited
theatrical release.
Belle was subsequently cast in the lead role in Screen Gems'
horror film remake, When a Stranger Calls. The film was
released on February 3, 2006 and was considered successful
at the United States box office, grossing over $45 million
after an opening of over $21 million.
Shortly after the release of When a Stranger Calls, Belle
was cast opposite Steven Strait in the Warner Bros. film,
10,000 B.C., a prehistoric epic to be directed by Roland
Emmerich. The film is scheduled for a 2007 release and will
begin filming in the spring of 2006 in South Africa and
Namibia.
Belle, an aspiring classical pianist, speaks several
languages fluently, including Spanish and Portuguese (her
mother's native language). She has been actively involved in
various charities and is an international spokesperson for
Kids With A Cause, created to provide a helping hand to
children suffering from poverty, hunger, lack of education,
neglect or abuse.
Belle is friends with actors Justin Chatwin and Jamie Bell,
whom she met on the set of The Chumscrubber.
She has been offered a place to study modern languages at
the University of Edinburgh from 2006. |
