Eva
Mendes, also given credit as Eva Mendez was born in Houston,
Texas on March 5, 1978. He parents are both Cubans, and contributed
to an interesting childhood that saw Eva move to Miami and
then Los Angeles, when she was still a young girl.
Like some of our favorite
actresses (Liv Tyler, Alicia Silverstone), Eva Mendes kicked
off her acting career in an Aerosmith video. |
Mendes kept at it in the
comedy A Night at the Roxbury, and then, after smaller projects,
resurfaced in 2000 with a role in Urban Legends: Final Cut. It was
there that she began to get labeled as a tough, feisty and sexy
vixen; this persona was maintained in the action hit Exit Wounds
and especially in her most admired performance, as Denzel Washington's
wife in 2001's Training Day.
She is writing a children¹s
book, "Crazy Leggs Beshee." Inspired by her nieces and
nephews, she wants to introduce vocabulary, art, history and values
through a medium kids understand.
Mendes has three potentially
huge hits set for release in 2003. She will be bombarding audiences
with appearances in Desperado II: Once Upon a Time in Mexico (starring
Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek), Out of Time (again with Denzel
Washington) and the Farrelly brothers' Stuck On You (starring Matt
Damon and Greg Kinnear).
