Mena Suvari

Mina Aleksandra Suvari is an American model and actress of Estonian-Greek descent. She became famous for her roles in films with "patriotic" titles: "American Pie", "American Beauty", "American Horror Story" and "American Virgin".

Mina was born into a family of a psychiatrist and a nurse who really wanted a girl. The parents of the future movie star are easy to understand, because at the time of the birth of their daughter they already had three sons.

And now a joyful event happened, a very pretty baby was born, who inherited a sonorous surname from an Estonian dad, and a noble and tender beauty from a mother with Greek roots. The girl's aunt also did not stand aside and came up with a name for her in honor of the ancient Egyptian goddess.

Mina spent her early childhood in Newport, surrounded by three older brothers. The family lived in an old mansion, around which the children constantly dug holes in search of treasure. The fact is that little Mina dreamed of becoming an archaeologist, and the boys supported her sister in this endeavor.

When the girl was ten years old, the family moved to Charleston, where the elder offspring of the Suvari couple attended military college. Mina ended up at Ashley Hall Girls' School, which had its own modeling agency. The student of extraordinary beauty was immediately noticed, and at the age of 12, Mina had already signed her first contract with the Wilhelmina agency.

Mina's parents tried to give their children a decent education as a start for a future career. Therefore, for the sake of their daughter, they moved to Los Angeles so that she could continue to develop in the modeling business. However, the model itself by that time already dreamed of the film industry, especially since Mina's height was 163 cm (with a weight of 48 kg), which was not enough for a modeling career.

One of Mina's first works was a cameo role in the TV series Ambulance, and her film debut was the 1997 arthouse film Nowhere. In the same year, the actress appeared in the thriller Kissing Girls, opposite Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd. In this picture, Mina got the role of the victim of a maniac, a girl named Coty Pierce.

After a series of pass-through tapes and episodes in 1999, Suvari was lucky enough to get on the casting of the film "American Beauty". In this film, the talent of the actress was revealed, although the role itself was laconic. The girl had a chance to play a high school student, whom the hero of Kevin Spacey falls in love with, disillusioned with family happiness. The Oscar-winning tape brought fame and public love to the actress.

Suvari instantly became a sought-after Hollywood actress, she was interviewed, photos of the blonde beauty were printed in glossy magazines, and Maxim included her in the top 100 hottest women in Hollywood. Mina was bombarded with proposals for filming both full-length films and TV series.

The role in the 1999 comedy American Pie also brought popularity to the girl. Nobody expected international success from the passing youth comedy. Despite the vulgarity and second-rate humor, the tape has become a megahit, and not only in the States. The worldwide collection exceeded the film's budget ($ 11 million) by 20 times. The leading actors Jason Biggs, Chris Klein, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Alison Hannigan, Tara Reed immediately became megastars. In the same 1999, Mina starred in the thriller Carrie 2: Fury and the disaster film Atomic Train.

Suvari has played more than fifty roles in thrillers, horror films, comedies, dramas, television series and feature films. She is a versatile actress, she is easily given comedic and dramatic roles, images of young starlets and wise women beyond their years.

Mina Suvari still hasn't played her starring role until the actress's talent has found a worthy application. Mina Suvari performed the main characters in 2000's Loser and 2007's Ambush. In 2008, Suvari appeared on the screen in the horror film "Day of the Dead". The film was created in the spirit of an apocalyptic story about resurrecting zombies who prey on living people. Mina Suvari played the role of Sarah Bowman, who is trying to save loved ones from danger.

However, even appearing in the background and in episodes, Mina played filigree, living the lives of her screen heroines. Among the works of the actress - the comedy "Beauty Salon", the comedy series "The Client is Always Dead". A significant project, in which Mina Suvari managed to participate, turned out to be the crime fighter "Domino". Keira Knightley and Mickey Rourke appeared in the foreground. The next work in an ensemble with Hollywood stars Jennifer Aniston and Kevin Costner was the role in the family film "Rumor has it."

Among the works of the 2010s, Mina is the central role of Maria Abascal in the TV series-drama with elements of mysticism and horror "South of Hell". Eight episodes aired at the end of 2015 on WE tv. Since the early 2000s, the actress gave preference to serious arthouse cinema and theater, since she did not like the roles of starlets and nymphets.

Among the multi-part projects that made it into the filmography of Mina Suvari, there is the thriller American Horror Story, where the actress got the role of Elizabeth Short. The murder of this heroine at one time was never solved, and later the girl's body was found in the park. Half a century later, the ghost of Elizabeth began to appear in the house where the murder took place. To create an image, before each shoot, Mina had to apply a special make-up with an imitation of a cut on her face. The actress also changed her hair color - for the role, the girl used a wig with dark curls.

The girl did not refuse to participate in the continuation of the American Pie franchise. A year after the first film, American Pie 2 appeared. In 2012, the actress again starred in a familiar cast of actors in the comedy American Pie: It's All Together. With the presentation of the premiere, the performers of the main roles, including Mina Suvari and her partner on the frame Chris Klein, visited Moscow, London and other capitals of the world.

For several years, the actress starred in the serial films "Clarence", "Hysteria". The actress presented the main characters on the screen in the horror film "The Last Stop", in the comedy "Bad Sex" and in the crime thriller "Badge of Honor". In the last film, the actress was accompanied by Martin Sheen and Lochlyn Munro.

Mina's personal life is closely intertwined with her acting biography. Who would have thought, but at school she was teased for a strange name and red hair, and, having become independent, the beauty changed her hair color to ashy blond. Being already famous, the actress admitted that her relationship with classmates did not work out, and the boys bullied at every opportunity, so Mina even missed the prom. The girl had no friends with whom she could go to the gala event.

The actress married at 22, immediately after the American Beauty Academy Awards ceremony that made her famous. Mina's chosen one was cameraman Robert Brinkmann, who at that time was 39 years old. This marriage lasted five years, in 2005 the couple divorced.

After the divorce, Mina dated professional dancer Mike Carrasco. The girl changed her image, made a short haircut, became interested in watercolors, photography, and playing the piano. Since her partner criticized her friend for not dancing well, Mina had to take up break dance lessons. These hobbies benefited the star, but she soon broke up with Mike.

In 2007, Suvari began an affair with a young producer Simone Sistito and married him in 2010. In the wedding photos, Mina appeared with a barely rounded tummy, so the media started talking about the actress's pregnancy. But the children did not appear in the marriage. After a year and a half, this relationship fell apart. Mina filed for divorce from her husband. The reason was the incompatibility of characters, but the divorce turned out to be loud and "dirty": the bankrupt producer was suing the actress because of alimony.

Age is not only wrinkles in the corners of the eyes, but also experience, and the actress cannot be denied good taste. In 2016, at a party in Cologne, she appeared in a low-cut dress with a geometric pattern, revealing tattoos on the back and neck: a lion's head and the inscription “word, sound, power”. These tattoos have long been familiar to Mina's fans, she posted pictures of the process on her Twitter and Instagram.

The actress is naturally short, but seems even smaller (according to David Cribby's physical classification) due to the shortened proportions of the torso and large head. The press more than once reported that Mina, like other Hollywood stars, did plastic surgery, although the “before and after” photos suggest otherwise.

Movie fans note the similarity between Mina Suvari and her colleague Emma Watson, a British film actress who is 11 years younger than the American. The girls especially began to look alike when both appeared in front of the public with short haircuts.

Now the actress occasionally appears at official events, shining in luxurious outfits. Mina's current style is different from the images of the time when she was at the peak of popularity. In 2018, Mina Suvari surprised reporters with a plump figure. The changed shape of the American Pie star did not go unnoticed by tabloid reporters who posted the latest photos of the actress in their publications.

However, Mina does not pay attention to criticism. The girl is happy with her life, which she demonstrates on her personal Instagram profile. In addition, the American comedy series was launched in the middle of the year with Mina in the title role. Now Suvari is starring in new projects that will soon appear on the screens.
