What is there to say about the woman who makes being a nerd look sexy? The woman with some of the most beautiful eyes in Hollywood, Zooey Deschanel has gone from indie actress to “It Girl” in a matter of a few months. Like most of Hollywood’s A-listers, Zooey had connections. Born to a cinematographer father and actress mother in Los Angeles, she had the genes and the resources to make it in Hollyweird.

Someone’s celebrating already!

But nepotism can only get you so far. Deschanel’s quirky humor, hipster style, and sweet singing voice make her a Hollywood rarity.

The multi-talented star gained notoriety when Fox’s hit show “New Girl,” premiered a few months ago. But before hitting the small screen, Zooey had many roles in some very popular and not so popular films. She has come a long way from the days when girls used to spit on her.

Happy Birthday Zooey!!
