Emily’s little sister the songwriter
It’s no secret that the Deschanel family has it’s share of talent. We’re wowed by Emily’s performance on Bones, and her little sister Zooey Deschanel has made her own name known in the showbiz circuit as well. (And of course they’re both beautiful!) Now, she’s getting recognized for her musical talent as well!
Here is a photo out of a recent magazine that spotlights Zooey Deschanel along with M. Ward. (photo by John Huba) Zooey’s voice was showcased in the film Elf she stared in opposite Will Farrell, and now her voice will be in the Sundance film The Go-Getter, where she performs a Richard and Linda Thompson classic during the closing credits with M. Ward. After meeting him, Zooey happened to mention that she did some songwriting herself, and apparently she’s pretty good.
Ward said, “I was amazed by the quality.” He was so amazed, in fact, that he soon began producing her debut album. “I just had an incredible time working with her. She’s an amazing talent, and a genius vocalist… I’m looking forward to people hearing this record.” Her album is finished and should be released later this year.
Zooey is also picking up the pace in her professional life as she is working on a new M. Night Shyamalan movie The Happening, and will also star as Janis Joplin in The Gospel According To Janis. She has just recently starred in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford alongside of Brad Pitt. Not to mention the series Tin Man she’s taking part in on the SciFi channel… She’s one busy little bee!
(I wonder if the singing talent extends to Emily as well…)
