In 2016, she reincarnated as Marilyn Monroe, playing a style icon in the mini-series of the same name. Let's find out where else Garner Kelly starred. You can find biography, photos, interesting facts from the life of the actress in this article.
It turned out by itself
An ordinary girl from Bakersfield did not dream of becoming a star of the screen, and even more so a Hollywood star. She was in high school when she was noticed by a television agent, and was, by her admission, quite insecure. And very beautiful - after all, the same agent suggested taking part in the casting. And Garner Kelly agreed for the sake of curiosity.
The girl could not even think what she would be chosen for advertising frozen Eggo wafers. Perhaps you will say that this is not serious. But this was the first step to the heights. If it were not for the fateful meeting with the agent, Garner would have continued to play football: at school, she played in the national team.
From advertising to the big screen
But the more often the charming girl’s face on the screen offered to try new wafer tastes, the more she herself aroused the interest of agents for selecting actors who, as you know, like to look at new faces. In 2001, Garner Kelly was entrusted with one of the key roles in the complex teenage drama “The Sadist,” and she coped with it perfectly. Well, then the mechanism spun with renewed vigor, and the actress received episodic roles: “Yes Mob”, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”, “Law and Order”.
Unfortunate happy event
The breakthrough on the big screen occurred with the release of Martin Scorsese’s biographical drama “The Aviator”. A huge crowd of young starlets auditioned for the role of actress Faith Domerg, among whom was Garner. Kelly admitted that she was preparing for the role and even outwardly tried to embody the image of Domerg, including put on contact lenses before listening. But, entering the room and seeing Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio sitting at the table, stumbled from surprise. The character was actually the one who tried to seem much older than his age, and it was this small incident that influenced Scorsese's decision to give the role of the little-known Garner.
After “The Aviator,” the girl was invited to the drama “Bad Habit,” and a year later she played in the melodrama “London”.
In December 2005, Garner first tried herself on the stage, playing in the musical play Dog Sees God, and also starred in the video of Jesus of Suburbia by Green Day. In 2008, the actress returned to the theater, appearing in tandem with Dianne Wist in the Chekhov production of “The Seagull”.
Finding the right genre
Leaving the drama genre, Garner Kelly decides to try himself in a comedy and agrees to a role in the film “Lars and the Real Girl”. Here she played the heroine, in love with a soul mate Ryan Gosling. At the end of the filming, the press attributed the novel to the actors, but there is nothing but friendly relations between them. And after Kelly decides on yet another “genre” experiment - her next film is the horror film “Red Velvet”.
Only forward!
In 2009, a successful animated movie “Darwin's Mission” appeared in the box office, in which many Hollywood stars, including Kelly Garner, gave their voices to the heroes. The actress's films, released later, allow her career to rise to a higher level. And also get your own home and an army of fans. In 2010, she joined the company of Drew Barrymore in the romantic comedy “At a Distance of Love”, and a year later she got the main role in the series about stewardesses “Pan American”.
In 2011, Kelly again returns to the dramatic role and plays the main role in the film “Lies”. The painting, noted by critics, tells about the life of young people who have a baby. They have a lot to rethink and understand how to live on with "unplanned replenishment."
