Scene from Sergio Leone movie Once Upon a Time in America (1984).
It was Jennifer Connelly’s first movie.
The actress who would later turn heads and earn awards for her roles in films like A Beautiful Mind and Requiem for a Dream was 12 years old when she was cast as the young ballerina-in-training Deborah. After a childhood career in modeling and TV commercials, it was the first real acting she had ever done. Jim Henson’s Labyrinth came along shortly thereafter, and she’s been a consistently busy (and in-demand) actress ever since.
