Chastain developed an interest in acting from an early age and made her professional stage debut in 1998 as Shakespeare's Juliet. After studying acting at the Juilliard School, she was signed to a talent holding deal with the television producer John Wells. She was a recurring guest star in several television series, and took on roles in several stage productions. After making her film debut at age 31 in the drama ''Jolene'' (2008), Chastain had her breakthrough in 2011 with six film releases, including the dramas ''Take Shelter'' (2011) and ''The Tree of Life'' (2011).
