Looking at the photo of this girl with amazing green eyes, you can easily believe that she began her career as a film actress at the age of two. Since then, Summer Phoenix almost did not stop filming, taking a short break for the birth of two sons.
Summer is really very talented, besides creating images on the screen, she sang in a popular rock band, and now she is engaged in new design projects.
The famous American actress, model and singer Summer Phoenix has been a multifaceted personality since childhood. She was born on December 10, 1978 in the family of former hippies Erlene Phoenix and John Lee. A girl with a summer name grew up in a creative large family that traveled a lot around the country. Her two older brothers, River and Joaquin, also became actors, and her sister Raine was seriously involved in music since childhood.
The beginning of a creative career
For the first time, little Summer starred in a movie at the age of two. Since then, the charming little girl has confidently continued her creative career. At the age of 6, she appeared in episodes of such popular TV series as Murder, She Wrote and Air Wolf. In 1987, when Summer was 9 years old, she, along with her brother Joaquin, took part in the film "Russians", playing the role of the girl Candy.
Having matured a little, Summer decided to try herself in the role of a model. A talented green-eyed brunette was able to succeed in this type of business, but due to a lack of free time, she chose to work in the film industry. She failed to get a professional education for the same reason. After graduation, Summer began studying at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, but soon dropped out and continued filming.
Already in her youth, Summer managed to contribute to the development of music, together with her older sister Rain, she was a member of the then popular rock group "The Caysey Way".
Best actress roles
Despite the fact that the girl was actively acting in films, until 1998 she got only cameo roles. Summer played her first leading role in The Arrest of Gina, where she looked very convincing as a pretty, extravagant girl. However, the film passed unnoticed enough and did not bring the actress well-deserved fame and recognition.
In 2001, the girl starred in the film Fanatic, where she played the role of Carla Moebius. After the film was released, Summer became one of the contenders for the Independent Spirit Award for Best Actress. And the film Esther Kahn, in which she played the role of a poor Jewish girl dreaming of a career as an actress, was nominated for the Palme d'Or award.
Personal life
Almost all of the actress's life was spent on the set, so it is not surprising that Summer also met her husband on the set of the film. This happened in 2002 during the filming of the film "Insanely Faithful Wife". The imposing actor Casey Affleck immediately fell in love with the girl and they began a whirlwind romance, which ended in a wedding in 2003.
Pretty soon, in 2004, Summer gave birth to her first son, Indiana Augusta, and temporarily stopped acting, devoting herself to taking care of the family and a new design project. In 2008, the star couple had a second son, Atticus.
Unfortunately, after 16 years of marriage, the couple decided to leave and the actress filed for divorce from her husband. After that, she again plunged headlong into her career, in 2017 playing one of the leading roles in the thriller "Bezkmny Whale". Given the girl's youth and undoubted talent, this is not the last role of the charming Summer Phoenix.
