Sparks, Nevada, USA:
Jena Laine Malone (* 21. November 1984 in Sparks, Nevada) ist eine US-amerikanische Schauspielerin, Filmproduzentin und Musikerin. Bereits mit zehn Jahren wollte Malone Schauspielerin werden. Da die Familie nichts zu verlieren hatte, zog sie mit ihrer Mutter nach Los Angeles, um die Schauspielkarriere zu beginnen. Bereits nach wenigen Monaten erhielt sie sowohl eine Rolle in Michael Jacksons Musikvideo zu Childhood als auch einen Gastauftritt in einer Episode von Chicago Hope. Ihr Kinodebüt gab Malone 1996 im Alter von zwölf Jahren als Missbrauchsopfer im Drama Schutzlos – Schatten über Carolina unter der Regie von Anjelica Huston. Im Jahr darauf stellte sie in der Hauptrolle der Fernsehproduktion Ellen Foster das Schicksal eines Waisenmädchens dar. Sie bevorzugte des Weiteren vor allem dramatische Rollen und mied seichte Komödien. Einem größeren Publikum wurde sie an der Seite von Jake Gyllenhaal im Film Donnie Darko bekannt. Durch ihre Vorliebe für anspruchsvollere Rollen bewegte sich Malone bevorzugt in der Independent-Szene. In American Girl fungierte sie neben ihrer Hauptrolle erstmals als Koproduzentin. In den darauffolgenden Jahren arbeitete sie mit Schauspielern wie Kevin Costner, Jodie Foster, Vince Vaughn, Ben Foster, Woody Harrelson oder Keira Knightley zusammen. 2013 übernahm sie die Rolle der Johanna Mason in dem Science-Fiction-Film Die Tribute von Panem – Catching Fire. Diese Rolle übernahm sie erneut in den Fortsetzungen Die Tribute von Panem – Mockingjay Teil 1 (2014) und Die Tribute von Panem – Mockingjay Teil 2 (2015).
