'Donnie Darko' and 'Stepmom' actress Jena Malone on her Hollywood upbringing

If the entertainment industry were a school, Jena Malone would have graduated several times over by now, having racked up more than 80 credits, in movies such as "Stepmom," "For Love of the Game" and "Donnie Darko," since the mid-1990s. She reflects on her Hollywood upbringing in this installment of "Are the Kids Alright?"
"I never stopped feeling like a child in Hollywood," she tells Yahoo Entertainment. "But there's, like, the moment when you have your first romantic scene or something that's not a teenage experience. I think it's not necessarily about the project; it's about what you're experiencing, when you start coming into your womanhood or masculinity or whatever, just coming into yourself in a deeper way, out of the child's perspective. That starts adding resonance to everything you do."
Malone considers "The Messenger," a 2009 drama she did with Woody Harrelson, Ben Foster and Samantha Morton, to have been the moment when that happened. In it she plays the girlfriend of a U.S. Army staff sergeant who's on leave from the Iraq war. The well-reviewed film hit theaters in November 2009, the month Malone turned 25.
