Connelly's career inverts the usual order in this guide: the modelling came first, as a child, in magazine, newspaper and television advertising, and the acting grew out of it — Once Upon a Time in America (1984), Labyrinth (1986), Career Opportunities (1991). The critical turn came with Dark City (1998) and Requiem for a Dream (2000), and the awards turn with A Beautiful Mind, which brought the Academy Award, Golden Globe and BAFTA in 2002. The later film list — Hulk, Blood Diamond, Creation, Noah — kept the acting career primary while the fashion work continued in parallel.
The campaign record is the fashion core of this profile: the face of Balenciaga fashion advertisements, the face of Revlon cosmetics, and in 2012 the first global face of the Shiseido Company — a fashion house, a mass cosmetics brand and a prestige beauty company choosing the same face in different decades. Time, Vanity Fair, Esquire and the Los Angeles Times have all included her on lists of the world's most beautiful women.
