Organizers of the
ShoWest Convention 2005 have named former
7th Heaven star Jessica Biel the
Female Star of Tomorrow. Biel will be honored along with
Hayden Christensen, Jennifer Aniston, Mel Gibson and others during the closing-night ceremony of the annual confab on March 17 in Las Vegas.
After her breakout performance on TV's 7th Heaven, Biel made her way into the feature arena starring in films such as
SUMMER CATCH, The Rules of Attraction and Marcus Nispel's remake of
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. She has since gone on to appear in Cellular and the most recent Blade film, Blade: Trinity.
"ShoWest has a long tradition of recognizing top breakout stars in this awards category, and we could not be more excited about honoring Jessica Biel as this year's Female Star of Tomorrow," said Mitch Neuhauser, co-managing director of the convention.
Jesse' s most recent films are the action-thriller Stealth, co-starring Jamie Foxx and directed by Rob Cohen, and Cameron Crowe's Elizabethtown, co-starring Orlando Bloom and Kirsten Dunst.
