Zooey Deschanel

New Girl star Zooey Deschanel has been Hollywood’s darling for years now. We have enjoyed her character in the popular American sitcom and watched her walk the red carpet. She was born into a family that gave her a luxurious life; her father Caleb Deschanel is a cinematographer and has worked on famous movies like The Patriot and The Passion of the Christ. Her mother was an actress who appeared in several movies and television too.

Zooey went up to the stage to present and receive awards herself several times, yet she remains one of the privileged celebrities who chose the less glamorous life. In fact, in daily living, you would rarely see her dress up in full glam. Despite the achievements and Hollywood successes credited to her name, Zooey never felt entitled to spend too much. Even her former husband, Ben Gibbard of the indie rock band Death Cab for Cutie, attests to Deschanel’s humble character, who still works within her budget as if her career ends today.
