Jennifer Connelly Touches Down in Cannes

In career news, they say there is a first time for everything, and Jenn got a taste of that when she agreed to dye her hair blonde for the first time in her career for her latest film, "Virgina."

During an earlier screening for the project, Connelly opened up about the the dramatic transformation, telling press, "I felt like she was really her own creature. I actually had a lot of fun being blonde, but not as much fun getting to blonde. It was very time-consuming, but the upkeep wasn't bad because she didn't have to be perfect."

The youthful 41-year-old admitted, "She is definitely very different from my other roles," said Connelly. "She is not very well, so I spent some time doing a lot of medical research."
