Every so often a Hollywood celebrity will talk about quitting the business, taking time off to spend with family…or will go on late night talk shows looking disheveled and mumbling about how they're heading off on an adventure to start a musical career.
Now comes word that Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Connelly is about to quit the biz. In an interview with the UK's Daily Mirror, Connelly revealed that after What's Wrong with Virginia? finishes shooting, she will likely not sign on for any more projects.
"The biggest thing for me is wanting my kids to grow up safely and have happy lives," said Connelly. "To me that's enough. The family is the most important thing to me. I'm very blessed. I have gorgeous, healthy, funny kids and a good husband."
Connelly's father passed away recently, prompting a very sorrowful time for the 38 year-old actress. "…I went through a really hard time at the end of last year."
Connelly is married to actor Paul Bettany (The Da Vinci Code), who has several films soon to be released, including Priest and Legion.
What's Wrong with Virginia tells the story of a sheriff whose state senate bid is placed in jeopardy when his daughter begins to date the son of a charming but psychologically disturbed woman with whom the sheriff has engaged in a two-decades-old affair.
