Zoe Kravitz has been in the limelight since she was born, but in 2011, it may finally be her own. The daughter of famous parents - actress Lisa Bonet, singer/actor Lenny Kravitz - Zoe is finally making a pitch for her own type of recognition this year.
Things kicked off with a re-occurring guest role in the Showtime series, 'Californication,' in which she played, Pearl, a tough rocker-girl who entices Becca (one of the show's lead characters) to play in the fictional band, Queens of Dogtown. For Zoe, the role wasn't too much of a departure from her real life role as the lead-singer in the rock band, Elevator Flight.
Two upcoming films in which Zoe does do a 180 from who she is in real life, are also drastically different from one another. The first and better-known role will be in this summer's expected blockbuster, 'X-Men: First Class.' Zoe plays an insect winged mutant named Angel (she appears in the film's trailer at 0:54). The other role is as Sweetness O'Hara in the film, 'Yelling To The Sky.'
The film, which is currently making the run on the film festival circuit, tells the story of Sweetness, a young girl in high school being bullied by Latonya Williams (played by Gabourey Sidibe). Check out Zoe in trailers for both films below.
