Real success came to Jessica Chastain after The Help was released. She was immediately nominated for an Oscar in the Best Supporting Actress category. However, she didn’t win the golden statue that time. The next year she was nominated again for the movie Zero Dark Thirty but she lost to Jennifer Lawrence.

Jessica Chastain began her acting career in movies pretty late by industry standards, she was 33 years old at that time that she started. Besides, according to Jessica, she was told that she was too red and too old-fashioned at the beginning of her career. Luckily, she’s currently at the peak of her success and she has a very good chance to win the coveted Oscar in the near future.
