Jena Malone in her twenty-nine years managed to recognize the hardships of deprivation and the radiance of glory. She had to grow up early and actually become the nurse of the family. However, despite the difficult years in her life, she remained a wonderful person, an optimist who did not lose faith in humanity.
Childhood
Jena Malone was born in the small American town of Sparks, in western Nevada, in November 21, 1984. Her mother Debbie Malone, a young twenty-two-year-old woman, passionately wanted to reach heights in the field of an actress or singer, played in a folk theater, sang. She didn’t have a husband. Later, Jena will say about her mother’s relationship with her father that her parents had love for one night. At the age of four, she met her father. He lives in the city of Reno and, according to Jena, has Norwegian roots. She practically did not notice his absence, because she was raised by a loving mother and godmother. Later it turned out that the mother’s friend was also her lover at the same time. However, little Jena was not interested in their relationship. She grew up in love, and this, she believes, is the most important thing.
First difficulties
When Jena was nine, the godmother left them. The girl was left alone with her mother. She always tried to find a permanent job, but nothing came of it. Over the years, the Malones have replaced 27 cities. Because of this, Jena could not attend school normally and studied at home. They lived poorly. There were times when an old car became their home.

So, seven-year-old Jena Malone took part in the TV series "Rosanna", playing a small role there in one of the episodes. So her childhood dream came true to become an actress. In 1993, the Malones moved to Las Vegas. There they stayed for as long as 9 months.

She even asked her mother for $ 25 to sign up for an acting master class.
First real roles
