Jennifer Connelly's Favorite Things: Family, Italian, Vodka And More

Jennifer Connelly graces the December 2008 issue of Marie Claire. Jennifer, who turns 39 next month and is married to Paul Bettany with two sons, opened up to the mag about her loves:

Pink Lady apples: "Three a day. I eat so many apples, it's stupid."

Vodka. "Chilled. No ice. Just a tiny bit of orange juice, or with soda and lime."

Doing crafts. "I have a Bedazzler! The last time we whipped it out was for [my 5-year-old son] Stellan's birthday. I sewed capes for all the kids, and then they decorated them with fabric, paint, jewels, and buttons."

Speaking Italian. "It's so much fun. It's such a crisp and bright-sounding language."

Family photographs.
"Right over my bed I've stuck on a black-and-white photo-booth strip of Paul, Kai, and Stelli, and another of Kai and Stelli with my dad." (Connelly's father passed away in September.)

Visiting Africa's Kalahari Desert with her family.
"We all walked away from each other and lay down on the sand. It's crusty, like salt flats. We were just silent for a while."

Home. "I became a mom before I became a wife. When I had kids, I felt I had a home like I'd never experienced before."

Running. "Six to 10 miles on trails through the woods at our place up in the country."
