Mira Sorvino

Being born into a family of actors, Mira Sorvino did not plan to connect her life with cinema: her dream was history and political science, which she seriously studied at Harvard. But fate had other plans: a dizzying career in Hollywood, dozens of leading roles, an Oscar for her role in a film by a cult director, a bright but fleeting romance with Quentin Tarantino, happy motherhood with many children.

Mira Katherine Sorvino was born on September 27, 1967 in New York into an acting family of Paul Sorvino and Lorraine Davis. The girl's father, originally from Sicily, came to conquer America in the post-war years, but only succeeded in the 90s, after starring with Martin Scorsese in Goodfellas. But Lorraine did not have time to become famous, the woman sacrificed her career after marriage, when three little Sorvino appeared one by one - Mira, Amanda and Michael.

The children spent their childhood in a family home in Tenaflay, New Jersey. Mira was her father's favorite. He often took her to the shooting, knowing that the girl would never give his wife off for a couple of glasses of whiskey missed with colleagues. One day a pretty girl was spotted and Mira played one tiny episode. This was in 1982.

The future actress attended the prestigious Englewood School, where she also took part in school productions. And with their close friend Hope Davis, who later also became an actress, they staged plays themselves.

The father made sure that his daughter received the best education. And Mira, who in her youth was more than a pretty girl, was fond of politics, went to Harvard to study Sinology and study the Chinese language. She was 20 when, after arriving on vacation in Tenafly, her parents were stunned by the news of a divorce.

It was a blow for the girl: to get used to the idea that the family, which was her pride and support, no longer exists, was unbearable. A change of scenery saved me from heavy thoughts: in the middle of 1988, Mira, as one of the talented students, was sent for an internship in the Celestial Empire. She collected material for her dissertation, taught English to Chinese students and was happy in her own way.

Sorvino was so imbued with a new life that she decided to move to Beijing and become a teacher, but the riots in China in 1989 (the events of June 4) forced her to change her plans. After graduating from Harvard, Mira took on any job - she worked as a waitress, starred in commercials - it was important for her not to take money from her father. Once fate brought her to acting courses, after which she already knew what she would devote the next decades to.

After hearing an angry tirade from his father, who did not want an acting career for his daughter, Mira went to storm the auditions. Her first acting experience was a role in the TV series "Swans Crossing" in 1992, and the following year director Rob Weiss offered her the lead role in the film "Among Friends". The energetic Mira also acted as an assistant producer in this project.

Charismatic Sorvino, who filled the entire frame with her charm, attracted the attention of many directors. In 1994 she played a translator from Spanish in the comedy Barcelona. In the same year, Robert Redford personally invites the young actress to his film "TV Show". The film was a success and was nominated for an Oscar.

Mira triumphs - this is a small, but first victory. Her acting biography includes bright, win-win films: "Sweet Nothing", "With gloom in the face" and "The Great Aphrodite". All these films were released in 1995, and for the last film on this list, directed by the cult director Woody Allen, Mira Sorvino received the most prestigious film awards - Oscar and Golden Globe.

Девушка сыграла проститутку Линду Эш – биологическую мать мальчика по имени Макс, которого усыновил главный персонаж фильма Ленни (сыграл сам Аллен). Линда и Ленни сближаются, но мужчина остается верен браку, Линда же рожает от него ребенка, не говоря ему. Остроумная и жизнеутверждающая комедия вызвала шквал положительных рецензий, стала «гвоздем» фестивальных показов, а до 1997 года ее премьерные показы состоялись во всех крупных городах мира.

Следующий кинохит из фильмографии Сорвино – комедия «Роми и Мишель на встрече выпускников» (1997). Мира в паре с актрисой Лизой Кудроу предстали в образе гламурных блондинок, отправляющихся навстречу приключениям. Фильм оказался довольно успешным и собрал в прокате $30 млн.

В 1998 году Мире, наконец-то, пригодилось знание китайского языка, которым она в совершенстве овладела в ранней молодости. В боевике «Убийцы на замену» Мира снималась с китайским актером Чоу Юньфатом. Эта роль была для него дебютной в Голливуде, он не понимал английского и жутко стеснялся. Мира стала спасением и для него, и для режиссера. Пара сыграла преступный тандем (он – киллер, она - мошенница), скрывающийся от наемников мафии.

Спустя 2 года актриса предстала в образе ветреной Дэйзи Бьюкенен в телефильме «Великий Гэтсби». С этого момента она активно снимается и на телевидении. В 2005-м Мира сыграла в мини-сериале «Живой товар» о жертвах торговли людьми. За роль русской девушки Кати Морозовой Сорвино получила «Золотой глобус». В 2008 году актриса появилась в эпизоде сериала «Доктор Хаус».

As a social activist, Mira pays great attention to social issues in films. So, in 2012, she again turns to the topic of human trafficking. In the drama Trafficking in the Innocents, she and the actor Dermot Mulroney play a married couple whose child has been kidnapped.

The drama "Chloe and Theo", which tells about the threat of an ecological catastrophe, as well as the thriller "Daughter of God" about the fate of a girl who became a victim of violence in childhood, is a striking example of the artist's recent works. Both pictures were filmed in 2015.

The personal life of the artist, who remained unmarried until the age of 37, vividly interested all her fans. The girl always had many boyfriends, but the brightest and loudest, of course, were the relationship with Quentin Tarantino. They met in 1996. Both are young, successful and beautiful. Everyone has gone through a period of fame after receiving the Oscar.

Quentin immediately invited Mira to spend a week in Paris, and these were unforgettable days, despite the fact that the paparazzi were on their heels. Mira really fell in love. The director and actress met for 3 years, and everything seemed to be going smoothly towards marriage, but Tarantino flatly refused to marry, saying that he was already “married” to his job.

The world did not reconcile and left. Then followed the novels with actors Olivier Martinez and Willem Dafoe. The celebrity was almost desperate to meet someone truly close to her when her future husband appeared on the horizon. Actor Chris Backus was 14 years younger than Mira, but this did not bother the couple, in 2004 they got married.

Four children were born in this happy marriage: Mattea Angel (2004), Johnny Christopher King (2006), Holden Paul Terry (2009) and Lucia (2012). Fans note that, even despite numerous births, the figure of the actress is perfectly preserved, just look at her photo in a bathing suit, posted on Instagram.

In 2018, Mira Sorvino began acting in the spy television series Condor.

The actress plays high-ranking CIA official Marty Frost. The film project was extended for a 2nd season in 2019.
