Mini Biography
Born in California
as Camilla Belle Routh, her mother, Cristina, is Brazilian, and her father,
Jack, is American. Her mother is a fashion designer and her father owns a
construction company. He is building Belle her first home. Camilla is an only
child. She was named after a character played by Renata Sorrah in her mother's favorite Brazilian
soap opera "Cavalo de Aço" (1973).
However, most people call her by her middle name Belle.
She went to St Paul's Catholic Elementary School in West Los Angeles and, afterwards, attended the elite all-girls Marlborough School in Los Angeles. At school, she studied classical piano and was fond of languages. She can speak fluent Portuguese.
Camilla appeared in a national print commercial before the age of 1. At age 5, she appeared in two TV movies Trouble Shooters: Trapped Beneath the Earth (1993) (TV) and Empty Cradle (1993) (TV). Because of her work, she had never completed a full year of school. So, at age 13, she took time off to focus on her studies. She returned to work when she was age 16, with a role in her first feature film A Little Princess (1995). The role that provided her first major exposure was Roland Emmerich's 10,000 BC (2008).
From 2006 to 2008, she got a taste of her mother's world with some fashion jobs - she modeled for Vera Wang's Princess fragrance.
Camilla is also involved in various charities and is an international spokesperson for "Kids With A Cause".

Personal Quotes
"You don't have
to work hard to bring emotions. It all just comes naturally, you're there
living it."
"I'm not a dark
person at all, so those roles are the most challenging. I don't think I'm
necessarily drawn to dark things. It just seems to work out that way."
The great thing
about life-I'd rather not know and just hope I'm happy and healthy and I feel
as good about my life as I do now.
I'm never going to
apologize for having a lot of guy friends, and I always have. That happens, and
I'm not going to live my life where I'm not going to go out and have a coffee
or lunch with my guy friends.
