Camilla Belle, born on October 2, 1986, in Los Angeles, California, is an American-Brazilian actress, director, writer, and producer. Raised in a Catholic household, she is the daughter of Cristina Gould, a Brazilian fashion designer, and Jack Wesley Routh, a U.S.-based construction company owner. Belle spent part of her childhood living in Santos, Brazil—her mother's hometown—which helped her become fluent in Portuguese. She developed a strong affinity for Brazilian culture, particularly telenovelas.
She received her early education at the Católica Elementary School of São Paulo and later attended the Marlborough School, an all-girls private school in Los Angeles. Her diverse upbringing nurtured both linguistic and cultural fluency, which later contributed to her versatility as an actress.
Camilla Belle began her acting career early, starting with a print advertisement in July 1987. Her first notable television role came when she starred as the lead character in the NBC thriller "Trapped Beneath the Earth." In 1995, she appeared in a minor role as Jane in the critically acclaimed film "A Little Princess."
In addition to her film work, Belle contributed to the Focus on the Family radio drama series "Adventures in Odyssey" in 1998, voicing the character Aubrey Shepard. That same year, she portrayed the daughter of Steven Seagal’s character in the action film "The Patriot," further cementing her presence in the industry.
Belle's career gained traction in 1998 when she played the younger version of Sandra Bullock’s character in the fantasy film "Practical Magic." The performance earned her a nomination for the 1999 Youth in Film Young Artist Award. She continued to build her portfolio with both supporting and leading roles across genres.
In 2006, she starred in the psychological thriller "When a Stranger Calls," taking on the lead role of Jill Johnson. The film contributed significantly to her visibility and popularity as a leading actress in Hollywood.
While Camilla Belle has largely kept her personal life private, she was known to have dated singer Joe Jonas between 2008 and 2009. She was also briefly linked to actor Topher Grace. In more recent years, Belle has chosen to maintain a low profile regarding her relationships.
Fluent in both English and Portuguese, Belle remains an active figure in both American and Brazilian entertainment spheres. Her multicultural background, combined with early and consistent involvement in film and media, continues to influence her creative endeavors as an actress, director, and producer.
