Flyboys (2006)

Jennifer Decker

Jennifer Decker began her theatrical career at an early age. At 18, her angelic face, glowing beauty and strong character were spotted by Irina Brook as a new incarnation of Juliet in a stage production of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.

Director Irina Brook has artfully drawn out a blend of inner grace and gravity, precision and spontaneity that reveal her natural talent. After a resounding success at the National Theatre de Chaillot in Paris, the play went on tour throughout France, and then abroad for many months.

Jennifer next played a young teenager in love and on the run, the leading part in Steve Suissa’s Cavale (Love on the Run), while continuing to extend the range of her on-stage performances at the Commedia dell’Arte.

It’s been a busy year for Jennifer whose rocketing career reached new heights in 2005. Between shooting Tony Bill’s blockbuster (to be released in 2006), she also found time to star in Jeune Homme, by Swiss film-maker Christoph Schaub, to be premiered January 2006, and in two TV movies where she plays Hortense de Beauharnais in Josephine by Jean-Marc Vervoort (2005), and Marina in Les Amants du Flore, Ilan Duran Cohen’s tender tribute to the life of Jean Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir.
