Already from the first projects, the performer with Brazilian and Italian roots managed to attract attention with her appearance, which, according to the directors, allowed her to transform into alien beauties or girls endowed with superpowers. Thanks to her extraordinary acting talent, Morena has repeatedly become a nominee for prestigious international awards during her career.

Morena was born in Rio de Janeiro. Father Fernando Baccarin became famous in the field of television journalism, and his mother Vera Setta was known as a popular actress in Brazil, the star of the melodrama "City of Brides" and the comedy "The Vampire of Copacabana".

When the girl was 7 years old, her father was offered a job at the headquarters of the Globo-TV channel, so the family moved to New York, to the Greenwich Village area. There, Morena began attending a comprehensive school with a theater bias, and her classmates were the future stars of American cinema Wes Bentley, Glenn Howerton and Claire Danes.

In high school, Baccarin studied at the Fiorello LaGardia High School of Music and Performing Arts, after which she entered the prestigious Juilliard School, where she studied acting and stage drama. During her studies, Morena took part in the popular New York Shakespeare Festival several times, and once she was Natalie Portman's understudy in the play "The Seagull" by Anton Pavlovich Chekhov.

For the first time, the artist declared herself on the screen, starring in the popular TV series of the late 90s "Stargate: SG-1". Already her first role in a science fiction film, Morena set herself a future benchmark: the directors appreciated the type of the actress, who looked organically in the film about the Guardians of the Galaxy. Despite the fact that the role of the aspiring performer was not the main one, later she would once again light up in the cast of the franchise, playing in the movie "Stargate: The Ark of Truth."

The first job was followed by the second: in 2001, Baccarin played in one of the episodes of the drama about the modeling business "Perfume". In the same year, she was involved in the musical film "Far from Broadway", where she showed the life of the girl Rebecca, dreaming of a big stage. For this role, the performer received the main prize at the Wine Country Film Festival.

In the next 2 years, the actress, whose height is 171 cm, and weight - 60 kg, appeared in the comedy "Favorite of Women" with Isabella Rossellini in the title role, the rating series "Lonely Hearts" and "Las Vegas".

The real popularity of Morene was brought by the space western "Firefly", where the girl played the role of the courtesan Inara Serra from the 26th century. It is noteworthy that initially actress Rebecca Gayheart was approved for this role, but after the start of filming, the director saw that her type did not fit and invited Baccarin. The film was very popular and was repeatedly broadcast on television channels.

Interest in the film led to the creation of a full-length film "Mission" Serenity ", which takes place six months after the events of the last series. The filmmakers did their best to make the script interesting not only for fans of the series, but also for those who have never watched Firefly. And in order to connect the two projects, some of the storylines were transferred from the TV movie to a new picture.

In the mid-2000s fantasy thriller Medium, about a girl who is able to communicate with the world of the dead, the actress played the role of Brooke Hoyt. After that, she appeared in the cast of the sitcoms "Secrets in the Kitchen" and "4isla". In the comedy about romantic relationships "How I Met Your Mother" Morena got a cameo role.

Baccarin becomes a popular television actress, the girl is invited to the projects "Justice", "Yellow Press", "Death in Love", "Heart". Another sci-fi series starring Morena Baccarin was shown on television from 2009 to 2011. It was a multi-part film "V", which was released in the domestic box office under the name "Visitors". The actress plays Anna, the ruthless and power-hungry commander-in-chief of the alien army.

According to the script, the heroine was supposed to have a lush hairstyle, but just before the casting, Baccarin changed her image, cutting off her luxurious hair and presenting herself to the director with a very short haircut. And at the audition, it turned out that this appearance is much more consistent with the tough character of the Queen of Visitors, so the actress had to maintain a new image throughout all the filming.

In 2011, the actress's filmography was replenished with work in the television series The Mentalist about psychologist Patrick Jane (Simon Baker), who brilliantly solves crimes using the deduction method. Robin Tunney and Tim Kahn also starred. Morena Baccarin reincarnated as Erica Flynn's heroine.

In the same year, the actress appeared in the spy thriller Homeland, directed by Howard Gordon and Alex Hansa. The series was broadcast on Showtime and received high ratings and an Emmy award. The actress has embodied on the screen the image of the unfaithful wife of a Marine.

The controversial image was received with interest by the public and film critics. Inspired by the success, Baccarin opened up with reporters about her creative plans: in the near future, she saw herself in full-length, and immediately in the image of James Bond's girlfriend. A year later, Morena appeared in the legal drama "The Good Wife" about the wife of the prosecutor Alicia (Julianne Margulis), whose husband went to prison on corruption charges.

In 2014, The CW TV channel premiered the fantastic drama The Flash, where it was about medical examiner Barry Allen (Grant Gustin), who received superpowers after being struck by lightning. In 2015, the screening of the comedy action movie "The Spy" by Paul Feig, starring Jason Statham and Jude Law, was launched, where Morena played the episodic heroine.

In the same 2015, the actress was cast in the new superhero fantasy action movie Deadpool with elements of comedy and light parody and got the main role. Her heroine is the former prostitute Vanessa Carlisle, the lover of the main character Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds), who in the world of superheroes turns into Copycat, capable of taking on the appearance of any person on almost a genetic level. The film, which is part of the X-Men universe, became one of the most anticipated new products of the beginning of 2016 and received $ 780 million at the box office.

Later, the actress took part in the scoring of the animated films "Elliot - Santa's Smallest Deer" and "Batman. Bad blood". In addition, Morena Baccarin starred in the sequel to the film Deadpool, which premiered in May 2018. The sequel was directed by David Leitch, who took the place of retired director Tim Miller.

Another part of the beloved franchise was the film "Once upon a time Deadpool", which viewers also saw in 2018. The filmmakers used the material of the previous part, diluting it with fabulous inserts, which is why the plot began to be perceived differently. This film is family-friendly with children: there are no violent scenes, and the plot is generously seasoned with many good jokes.

Morena Baccarin got married at the age of 32, since before that she was focused exclusively on the creative work and career of an actress. In 2011, she became the wife of director and screenwriter Austin Chick. It is noteworthy that Morena and Austin decided to have a wedding on Thanksgiving Day, counting on the symbolism of the significant date.

In 2013, their son Julius was born, and after another 2 years Baccarin and Chick decided to leave. The couple officially divorced in July 2015. The court ordered Morena to pay alimony to her ex-husband. For several years, the actress transferred more than $ 500 thousand to the personal account of the ex-spouse, this amount is $ 20 thousand a month. Austin himself is so used to living off Baccarin that he does not even try to look for new job offers.

Soon after her divorce from her husband, Morena began to live in a civil marriage with actor Ben Mackenzie, with whom she starred in the television series "Gotham". Personal life with a new chosen one turned out to be happier. In early spring 2016, the couple had a joint child - daughter Francis Liz Setta Shankkan.
