Connelly most recently co-starred opposite Ben Kingsley in DreamWorks' House of Sand and Fog, directed by Vadim Perelman.

Her other film credits include Pat O'Connor's Inventing the Abbotts, also starring opposite Billy Crudup; Lee Tamahori's 1950's crime drama Mulholland Falls; John Singleton's controversial film Higher Learning; Of Love and Shadows, directed by Betty Kaplan and co-starring Antonio Banderas; Disney's The Rocketeer, directed by Joe Johnston; and the comedy Career Opportunities written by John Hughes.
