Born Camilla Belle Routh in Los Angeles on Oct. 2, 1986, Belle was named after actress Renata Sorrah's character, Camila, on the Brazilian soap opera "Cavalo de Aço" (1973). Belle headed immediately for the spotlight herself, landing her first modeling gig for a national print ad at the age of nine months. The ambitious youngster segued smoothly into acting, appearing in minor roles in television movies such as "Trouble Shooters: Trapped Beneath the Earth" (NBC, 1993), "Empty Cradle" (ABC, 1993) and "Deconstructing Sarah" (USA Network, 1994).

In 2005, Belle finally got a role that would make her name popular. She starred in the independent film The Ballad of Jack and Rose, playing the daughter of Daniel Day-Lewis's character. Although the film only received a limited theatrical release, it was a tremendous experience for the young actress and she was labeled an "impressive newcomer" by film critic James Berardinelli. The same year, Belle also had a major role in The Chumscrubber, which received only a brief and limited theatrical release.
Finally ready for mainstream success, Belle starred in the 2005 remake of When a Stranger Calls. The film was released on February 3, 2006 and was considered successful at the United States box office, grossing over $45 million after an opening of over $21 million. Later in 2006, she acted in the thriller The Quiet, in which she played an orphaned deaf girl who is placed in the sordid and incestuous household of her godparents and their daughter, played by another sultry teen star, Elisha Cuthbert. Shortly after that, Belle was then cast opposite Steven Strait in the Warner Bros. film 10,000 B.C.
