Early years in the biography of Jena Malone
For the first few years, Jena lived in her hometown. But later, when her mother did get married, the family moved from place to place several times. The city in which Jena settled for a long time with her mother, stepfather and half-sister became Los Angeles.
Jena has been a very artistic child since childhood. She began to dream early about a career in film and television. As a result, her debut in a feature film took place in 1991. Malone played a small role in the drama film Roseanne. The young actress was immediately noticed, because Jena began to receive many invitations to shoot, but they were in no hurry to trust her with the main roles.
Due to the fact that the financial situation in the family was not very stable, the royalties that Jena received for her work on the set went to the "general budget".

These feature films were quite successful at the box office, film critics spoke positively not only about the plots of the films, but also about the acting. And in the early 2000s, the career of a young actress began to develop very rapidly.
