Zooey Deschanel

New job? New boyfriend? New girl? Plucky Jess Day finally has things going her way and is ready to take things to the next level with roomie-with-benefits Nick. But is she cool enough to fit in with the popular “mean girl” teachers she works with? Will her best friend Cece’s relationship with her over-the-top roommate Schmidt cause drama on the home front? Will she find a way to musically express her feelings? Well, that last one’s pretty much a no-brainer.

Zooey Deschanel Emmy Award, Golden Globe Award and Grammy Award nominee and Critics’ Choice Award winner Zooey Deschanel is an entertainer in every sense of the word, bringing the classical leading lady back to the modern audience with her old fashioned charm. Lauded as 'timeless,' 'vintage' and 'ethereal,' Deschanel’s starring roles in (500) Days of Summer opposite Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Yes Man opposite Jim Carrey, cemented her place as a mainstream presence with a handle for nuance.

Movie lovers have long known Deschanel for her breakout performance in Cameron Crowe’s ensemble film Almost Famous, opposite Billy Crudup, Kate Hudson and Frances McDormand; and All the Real Girls, for which she received an Independent Spirit Award nomination for Best Female Lead. Indie film buffs often cite Deschanel’s depth in films such as The Good Girl with Jennifer Aniston, and Eulogy with Debra Winger and Ray Romano. Of course, kids of all ages fell in love with her memorable performance in the instant Christmas classic Elf, opposite Will Ferrell. Her side-gig as a musical artist has only added to her reputation. Her album with collaborator M. Ward, She & Him: Volume 3, debuted at No. 15 on the Billboard Top 200 and was one of the most critically lauded albums of 2013.
