Camilla Belle Routh (born October 2, 1986), known professionally as Camilla Belle, is an American actress, director, and producer.

Early life[]

Belle was born to Deborah Cristina Gould[1] and Jack Wesley Routh, a country music performer and composer. She attended Marlborough School, an all-girl high school in Los Angeles.[2] She grew up speaking English and Portuguese.[3] During her childhood, she frequently visited her mother's family in Brazil.[4]

Career[]

Early in her career, Belle appeared in numerous television commercials for well-known brands, including Eli Lilly Pharmaceutical, Cabbage Patch Kids, Campbell's Soup and Public Broadcasting System. In 1992, she was cast as a lead in her first film, NBC's thriller, Trapped Beneath the Earth.[5] Belle began her career with a small role in the film version of the novel A Little Princess (1995). In The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997), she played Cathy Bowman, a young wealthy British girl attacked by a pack of Compsognathus. In 1998, she played Aubrey Shepard on the Focus on the Family radio drama Adventures in Odyssey. Following a turn as Steven Seagal's daughter in The Patriot (1998), she earned a 1999 Youth in Film Young Artist Award nomination for her portrayal of Sandra Bullock's character as a girl in Practical Magic (1998), as well as another nomination the same year for her guest appearance on the TV series Walker: Texas Ranger.

She received her third and fourth Young Artist Award nominations respectively for the television film Replacing Dad (1999) and for her first lead role, in the Disney Channel television film Rip Girls (2000). Belle played the lead role in the television film Back to the Secret Garden (2001), then took a break from acting before returning with a role in the independent film The Quiet (2005).[6] SFStation wrote that "performance-wise The Quiet belongs to Camilla Belle and Elisha Cuthbert".[7] In 2006, she signed a multi-year contract to become the face of Vera Wang's "Princess" fragrance, appearing in print advertisements and television commercials.[8] Her contract ended in July 2009.[9][10]

She returned to performing after a short break with the lead role in the remake of When a Stranger Calls (2006). In 2007, she appeared in coffee brand Nespresso's television commercial alongside actor George Clooney.[11] She then played a lead role in her biggest box office hit to date, the Roland Emmerich-directed big-budget film 10,000 BC (2008). Since this $270 million hit, Belle has played a number of lead roles in smaller independent, direct-to-video, short and unreleased films. As of October 2018, her last film was The Mad Whale (2017), a student project produced by James Franco's Elysium Bandini Studios and the USC School of Cinematic Arts.[12]

Belle's appearance and fashion choices have been a subject of media attention.[13][14] She has graced the cover of numerous fashion magazines, including Teen Vogue, Elle, Harper's Bazaar, Tatler, Ocean Drive, Glamour, Nylon, Vanidades, Lucky, ES Magazine and Genlux.[15] She is a frequent guest star at New York Fashion Week, among other fashion events.[16]

Her style has received noteworthy praise from periodicals such as Cosmopolitan.[17] Belle has never worked with a professional stylist and credits her mother as her stylist instead.[18]
