Early life and family

Bell was born and raised in Huntington Woods, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. Her mother, Lorelei (née Frygier), was a registered nurse, and her father, Tom Bell, was a television news director. [2] [3] Bell has described her mother as "very religious", something that put a strain on their relationship. [4] Her mother is of Polish descent, and her father has German, Scottish and Irish ancestry. [5] They divorced when Bell was 6 months old; [4] both have since remarried, and Bell has 6 half-siblings: two step-sisters from her father's second marriage and four half-siblings from her mother's second marriage. [6] [ better source needed ] [7]

At the age of four, Bell stated that she did not like her first name, so her mother encouraged her to use her middle name, Anne, which she used until she attended high school. [8]

Just before her first year of high school, Bell's parents decided to remove her from the public school system. [9] She attended Shrine Catholic High School in nearby Royal Oak, where she took part in the drama and music clubs. Before attending Shrine, she attended Burton Elementary School and Norup Middle School (now known as Norup International School), part of the Berkley School District. [10] [ failed verification ] At Shrine, she won the starring role in the school's 1997 production of The Wizard of Oz as Dorothy Gale, and appeared in productions of Fiddler on the Roof (1995), Lady, Be Good (1996), and Li'l Abner (1998). In 1998, the year she graduated, she was named the yearbook's "Best Looking Lil' Lady" by senior class vote. [11]

Shortly after her high school graduation, Bell moved to New York City to attend New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, [12] studying musical theater. [13] In 2002, during her senior year, she left a few credits shy of graduating [14] to take a role in the Broadway musical version of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.

Career

1992–2003: Early work

In 1992, Bell went to her first audition and won a dual role as a banana and a tree [15] in a suburban Detroit theater's production of Raggedy Ann and Andy . [12] Her mother had established her with an agent before Bell was 13, which allowed her to appear in newspaper advertisements for several Detroit retailers and television commercials. She began private acting lessons. [12] In 1998, she had an uncredited role in the film Polish Wedding .[ citation needed ] In 2001, Bell left New York University to play Becky Thatcher in the short-lived Broadway musical of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer . That year, she made her credited film debut in Pootie Tang . Her single line of dialogue was cut, and she appears only during the credits. [16]

In 2002, she appeared in the Broadway revival of The Crucible with Liam Neeson, Angela Bettis and Laura Linney. Bell moved to Los Angeles in 2002 because of her friendship with writers Kevin Murphy and Dan Studney, [16] and appeared in a handful of television shows as a special guest, finding trouble gaining a recurring role in a television series. Bell said she "tested like eight times and booked nothing and every show [she] tested for got picked up", including auditions for Skin and what she called "that Norm Macdonald show". [15] In 2003, Bell appeared in FX's The Shield, season 2, episode 1, which aired on January 7, 2003. She appeared in Everwood, season 2 episode 2 as a cheerleader. She co-starred in the film The King and Queen of Moonlight Bay as Alison, a 17-year-old girl who travels to Arizona to reconnect with the father who abandoned her family. [17]

2004–2006: Veronica Mars and other roles

In 2004, Bell earned acclaim for her starring role in the Lifetime television film Gracie's Choice , which received one of the network's highest ratings. [14] She made her debut in a theatrically released film with David Mamet's action thriller Spartan , as Laura Newton, the kidnapped daughter of the U.S. president, acting alongside Val Kilmer. Bell guest-starred on the HBO period drama series Deadwood , in a two-episode story arc ("Bullock Returns to the Camp" and "Suffer the Little Children").

At 24, she won the role of the title character in the UPN noir drama series Veronica Mars , which was launched in the fall of 2004. Created by Rob Thomas, the series starred Bell as the seventeen-year-old anti-establishment high school student and private detective. Bell drew on the parallels between the character of Veronica and her own life, since Bell's parents had divorced and her best friend had also died. [14] The series earned acclaim from critics. Bell's performance earned her the Saturn Award for Best Actress on Television and a nomination for the TCA Award for Individual Achievement in Drama, among numerous others. Some critics asserted that her performance was overlooked, and deserved consideration for a Primetime Emmy Award. [18] [19] [20]

Aside from working on Veronica Mars, Bell starred in Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical , reprising the role she played in the short-lived 2001 Off-Broadway musical. The musical was a spoof of Reefer Madness , the 1936 exploitation film. Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical debuted on the Showtime network on April 16, 2005. Also in April, Bell starred as Gracie in Fifty Pills , an entry for the Tribeca Film Festival. She appeared in a short independent film called The Receipt and the horror film Roman, which was directed by her Crucible co-star Angela Bettis. Released on August 11, 2006, Pulse starred Bell as the lead Mattie. A remake of the Japanese horror film Kairo , the film grossed US$27.9 million worldwide [21] but garnered negative response from critics. Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter commented, "despite the starring presence of Kristen Bell, [the] young actress has far less interesting material to work with here than she does as [the character] 'Veronica Mars.'" [22]

2007–2011: Film breakthrough and Gossip Girl

Veronica Mars continued on UPN for a second season; for the third season, the show was renewed and appeared on the newly created The CW. On January 19, 2007, CW Entertainment President Dawn Ostroff announced that while she was pleased with the gradual improvement of Veronica Mars's ratings, the series would be put on hiatus after February sweeps to air a new reality series, Pussycat Dolls Present . On May 17, 2007, Ostroff announced the cancelation of the series. [23] A two-hour series finale aired in the United States on May 22, 2007, and on June 11, 2007, Thomas officially announced in an email to TV Guide 's Michael Ausiello that Veronica Mars had been canceled by The CW. [24] A Veronica Mars feature film and comic book series continuation had been discussed, [25] and for a short time there was talk of another collaboration between Bell and creator Thomas that would be unrelated to the Veronica Mars series. [23]

Following the cancellation of Veronica Mars, Bell voiced interest in appearing on Heroes because she was a fan. [26] On July 29, 2007, during a train ride back to Los Angeles from San Diego Comic-Con with Heroes actors Zachary Quinto and Masi Oka, and writers from the series, the writers had mentioned that if she "ever want[ed] to come on Heroes, give us [writers] a call," to which Bell said she would "love to". [27] Meanwhile, there were discussions about a role on Lost , but Bell turned down the role [28] [29] of Charlotte Staples Lewis. [30] Bell portrayed Elle Bishop on Heroes, a "mysterious young lady" with an "awesome power". [27] She did not have to audition for the role of Elle, [16] who made her first appearance in an October 2007 episode, and appeared in twelve episodes during the run of the series. [31] The casting of Bell, Heroes creator Tim Kring explained, "was not easy to pull off", but because of the large ensemble cast of the series and multiple story arcs, "we found a way to jump into a small window in [Bell's] schedule." [31] Bell lent her voice to The CW series Gossip Girl ; she voiced the titular character in every episode of the series, appearing in person only for a surprise cameo in the final episode, portraying herself.

Shortly after the cancelation of Veronica Mars in early 2007, Bell filmed on location in Hawaii for a starring role as the title character in the Judd Apatow comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall . She regarded the improvisational comedy in the film as "a lovely experience". [16] The film, written by and also starring Jason Segel, was released theatrically on April 18, 2008, and greatly increased Bell's profile. Bell lent her voice and likeness to the video game Assassin's Creed , which was released in November 2007 for consoles and April 2008 for the PC. [32] Bell reprised her role of Lucy in Assassin's Creed II , released in November 2009, and again in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood , released in November 2010. [33] In the spring of 2006, she finished filming the Star Wars -themed comedy Fanboys . Director Kyle Newman received additional funding to shoot new scenes, but the busy schedules of the actors only allowed for filming in September 2007. As a result, the release was delayed until January 14, 2008. [34] Bell starred in the 2009 comedies Serious Moonlight , alongside Meg Ryan, and Couples Retreat , which chronicles four couples who partake in therapy sessions at a tropical island resort. Jason Bateman played her husband. [35] She provided the voice for Cora in Astro Boy .

Production of the film took place during summer 2013, and it was released theatrically and on video-on-demand on March 14, 2014. [40] [41]

In September 2014, Bell starred with her husband, Dax Shepard, in a commercial for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S.

Public image

In 2006 and again in 2013, [71] Bell was selected "World's Sexiest Vegetarian" on PETA's yearly poll. [72] She was placed 68 on Maxim's 2005 "Hot 100" list, [73] 11 in Maxim's 2006 "Hot 100" list, [74] and 46 in Maxim's 2007 "Hot 100" list in which she was stated to have "single-handedly saved The CW from becoming the worst network ever". [75] In 2006, Maxim also placed Bell at the top of the "Fall TV's Criminally Sexy Investigators" List. [72] In 2008, she was ranked 59 on AskMen's Top 99 Women of 2008 List. [76] Reflecting on her admitted popularity with "geeks", Bell was voted the fourth-sexiest woman on TV by the staff at Wizard magazine. [77]

Bell stated she never thought of herself as womanly because "I always play and look and act 10 years younger than I am." However, she said, "Something magical happened when I turned 25—I looked in the mirror and was like, 'You might not get carded for an R-rated movie anymore.' Like I didn't have a little stick figure anymore." [78] Bell has said that many of her characters are tomboys because she was "not homely enough to play the nerdy girl and not nearly pretty enough to play the pretty girl". [78]

Bell has been associated with the idea that "nerdy is the new cool", and she explained, "what was previously perceived as nerdy is now viewed as original. What I like about nerdiness, geekiness, is it doesn't really matter what you're into—it just means you're not a follower." [78] She has also said, "I love nerds. Comic-Con junkies are the tastemakers of tomorrow. Isn't that funny? The tables have turned." [16] Vanessa Juarez of Entertainment Weekly commented that Bell's roles on Veronica Mars, Heroes and as a Star Wars fanatic in Fanboys have "solidif[ied] her placement at the center of the geek universe," while Rodney Rothman stated, "I guess she's cornered the market on losers." [79] Bell's work is often compared to Sarah Michelle Gellar's portrayal of the title character on the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer . [80] Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter stated that Bell was "arguably the television successor [to Gellar's portrayal of Buffy] when it comes to fighting bad guys." Bell is sometimes confused with Lauren Conrad from The Hills . "Yeah, sometimes fans yell, 'Hey, Lauren' to me, but usually from a distance," said Bell. [22]

Despite "new celebrity" status, Bell claimed that she was not concerned because "no one ever recognizes me anyway". She has said that her friend Hayden Panettiere is more famous than she is and attracts more attention; as Bell explained, "I hang out with Hayden quite a bit—they never take pictures of me. I just step to the side, and I push myself in front of her when she wants to get out of it, or put her in the car." [78]

Bell was a recurring guest on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson , appearing in interviews as well as sketches. On The Late Late Show, she shows a humorous hostility towards Craig Ferguson's robot skeleton sidekick Geoff Peterson, claiming that she had wanted to be Ferguson's sidekick on his show and taking it upon herself to cut Peterson down every chance she gets. Both Bell and Peterson appeared with Ferguson during the five Late Late Show episodes filmed in France. [81]

In January 2011, it was announced that Bell would be the new face of Neutrogena. [82]

In 2014, Bell posed nude for the May issue of Allure magazine – alongside Jenna Dewan, Minnie Driver, and Nia Long. [83]

In April 2019, Bell was featured on the cover of Entrepreneur magazine's April–May issue. In the article, she discussed her snack bar company, This Bar Saves Lives, which donates its sales to help feed malnourished children around the globe. [84] In November 2019, Bell and Idina Menzel, who play sisters in Disney's Frozen franchise, received neighboring stars—Bell's was the 2681st and Menzel's was the 2682nd—on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. [85] [86]

In 2007, Bell ended a five-year relationship with former fiancé Kevin Mann. [87] She later told Complex magazine that dating "makes me want to vomit. And not out of grossness—OK, a little bit out of grossness, but just nerves... I've always been a serial monogamist." [78]

In late 2007, Bell began dating actor Dax Shepard, who is also from Metro Detroit. They announced their engagement in January 2010. [88] They decided to delay marriage until the state of California passed legislation legalizing same-sex marriage. [89] They co-starred in the 2010 film When in Rome , the 2012 film Hit and Run , [90] and the 2017 film CHiPs . After section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court on June 26, 2013, Bell asked Shepard to marry her through Twitter, [91] which he accepted. [92] They were married at the Beverly Hills County Clerk's Office on October 16, 2013. [93] They have two daughters, born in March 2013, and December 2014. [94] [95]

At age 11, Bell became a vegetarian. [72] In an interview with PETA, Bell stated, "I have always been an animal lover. I had a hard time disassociating the animals I cuddled with—dogs and cats, for example—from the animals on my plate, and I never really cared for the taste of meat. I always loved my Brussels sprouts!". [96] By 2012 Bell had become vegan with Shepard after watching the documentary Forks Over Knives . [97] [98] During her first pregnancy, she returned to eating dairy products and eggs, however. [99]

During her time in Michigan, Bell fostered animals from the Michigan Humane Society, and she now supports the San Diego–based Helen Woodward Animal Center. Bell often attends fundraisers for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and other non-profit organizations dedicated to protecting animals. She has had several dogs, including a Welsh Corgi-Chow Chow mix named Lola, a Welsh Corgi-Chihuahua mix named Shakey and a black Labrador Retriever named Sadie, who was 11 years old when she was rescued from Hurricane Katrina and adopted by Bell in 2005.

Bell and other Veronica Mars cast members, including Ryan Hansen, are involved with the charity Invisible Children, Inc. The goal of the organization is to create awareness of the plight of Northern Ugandans who are caught in the midst of a civil war between the government and Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army.

Since its launch, the company has donated more than 10 million packets as of February 2019. [109]

In 2014, Bell launched a Prizeo campaign offering fans a chance to win a date with her in return for donating to Invisible Children, Inc. [110] In 2018, Bell participated in a television advertisement for bone marrow donations, specifically the Gift of Life Marrow Registry. Her actions resulted in several matches that are documented on the Gift of Life website. [111] Bell won a 2020 Webby Special Achievement Award. [112]

In 2023, Bell revealed that she had taken up Brazilian jiu-jitsu and was training under Cesalina Gracie in mother-daughter classes alongside her daughter. [113]

Mental health

In May 2016, Bell stated that she has received treatment for depression and anxiety. [114] She said, "It's important for me to be candid about this so people in a similar situation can realize that they are not worthless and that they do have something to offer." [115]

In an interview with Jimmy Kimmel in August 2018, Bell discussed why she wears scuba gloves while swimming. She stated that she fears the sensation of touching things with water-immersed, wrinkled fingers, otherwise known as "prune fingers". The gloves have allowed her to swim with her children without fearing touching them. [116]

Entrepreneurship

In 2019, Bell and her husband founded the company Hello Bello that markets plant-based baby care products said to be environmentally friendly and affordable. [117] As of 2021, Hello Bello's estimated annual revenue was $26.1 million a year with 104 employees. [118] In 2020, she partnered to start Happy Dance, a line of vegan CBD products such as eye cream and hand moisturizers.
