Camilla Belle Biography
An attractive brunette child performer, Camilla Belle began her career before her first birthday, landing a gig in a national advertising campaign at age nine months. By the time she was in school, she had begun to land roles in TV-movies like the 1993 NBC drama “Trouble Shooters: Trapped Beneath the Earth”, about the rescue of earthquake survivors. Belle segued to the big screen as one of the orphans in Alfonso Cuaron’s exquisite 1995 remake of “A Little Princess”. The busy youngster subsequently racked up a string of impressive credits, including a turn as another orphan in the ABC movie “Annie: A Royal Adventure” (1995) and as Jimmy Smits’ plucky daughter in “Martial Law” (Showtime, 1996). After an appearance in “The Lost World: Jurassic Park” (1997), Belle played the young Sally Owens (enacted by Sandra Bullock as an adult) in “Practical Magic” (1998) before being cast as Steven Segal’s child in the thriller “The Patriot” (HBO, 1999).
