Belle was born as Camilla Belle Routh in Los Angeles, California, to
Deborah, a fashion designer, and Jack Wesley Routh, who composed
country music and owns a construction company. Her mother is Brazilian
and her father, who is from Kingman, Kansas, has English, German, and
French ancestry. 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)
and
Empty Cradle (1993).
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 main role in the film
The Ballad of Jack and Rose (2005).
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".
