The very ingenious Zooey Deschanel has made her name known worldwide over the past decade. She has been known as Hollywood's sweetheart, and now she has planted those innocent eyes into our nightly television programming with her newest show New Girl premiering September 20th.
Zooey was born on January, 17th, 1980 in Los Angeles, California. As both a talented actress and singer she has quickly jumped up the rankings of stardom. At first , Zooey started off in television with a role in the 1998 series Veronica's Closet. She then jumped right into the Hollywood mix two years later when she played the role as Anita Miller in the rock star film Almost Famous. In the movie she played the part as a quirky sister that isn't easily impressed. This character's personality gave her the stamp for the rest of her acting career. In 2002 she played the role as the dorky wanna be rock star in The New Guy. With a monotone voice one minute, and the voice of a world class singer the next, it was obvious that Deschanel had raw talent, but just needed a little make over to transform her from little girl to celebrity smokeshow. The 2003 Christmas classic Elf sold her talent to the world. One of best moments of that movie comes when she showcases her singing ability in the shower, and then again with a duet with Buddy the elf ( Will Ferrell). Opting out of finishing a college degree she has focused her attention in Television, film, and her new band with M.Ward, She & Him. In 2009 she married the lead singer for Death Cab for Cutie, Benjamin Gibbard. And in 2010 She & Him's new album topped out at #6 on the Billboard 200. In 2010 she ranked #73 in Maxim's "Hot 100 Women". And in 2011 she ranked #39 in FHM Australia "100 Sexiest Women in the World".
At this point i am in love with her not only for her singing ability, but with the charm that comes from her character transformation from depression to elation. As an actress, that ability of role reversal gives me a respect for her that puts her on top as one of my favorite actress list. Deschanel's eccentric personality will keep her in the limelight, and her genuineness will keep her out of the celebrity gossip headlines, hopefully.
