Jennifer Connelly Was YA Book Model

By Dianna Dilworth 

Oscar winning actress Jennifer Connelly got her start in entertainment by modeling for YA book covers.

In an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live this week, Connelly was promoting her new film, American Pastoral, which is based on Philip Roth’s novel. Kimmel asked her about her modeling career and she explained how she would go to a shoot and the producers would tell her a bit about the story so that she could get in the mood of the book.
