2. Jennifer Connelly
Connelly was loved by critics for her roles in Mulholland Falls (1996), Inventing the Abbotts (1997), Dark City (1998), Requiem for a Dream (2000), and Pollock (2000). Then, in 2001, she struck gold by winning an Oscar and a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the Ron Howard film, A Beautiful Mind, which also starred Russell Crowe. The film was both critically-acclaimed and a commercial success. She followed A Beautiful Mind by starring in two high-profile roles. In 2003, she appeared in Ang Lee’s Hulk. In 2004, she starred in the well-received House of Sand and Fog.
She had a small part in Little Children (2006) and starred in Blood Diamonds (2006), but her other movies after that were duds. While 2016 will see her starring in American Pastoral, based on the book by Phillip Roth, Connelly has failed to find the fame she had after winning her Oscar.
