Hey My name is Eva Mendes I was born in Houston and raised in Los Angeles of Cuban-American heritage. I am the youngest of four children,I have two sisters and one brother.I have Brown eyes and im 5' 07".In college I began acting, studying underneath acting coach Ivana Chubbuck. This led to my desire to appear in feature films.
Though making many smaller roles in movies, I was little known until playing the girlfriend of Denzel Washington's character in "Training Day." After that role, Ive been featured more in more in a wide range of acting from comedic to dramatic. These new roles gave me the ability to work with many directors held in high esteem in Hollywood, such as Robert Rodriguez (Once Upon a Time in Mexico), Carl Franklin (Out of Time), John Singleton (2 Fast 2 Furious), Antoine Fuqua (Training Day), and the Farrelly Bros. (Stuck on You), helping to give me a reputation as a serious actress capable of many diverse roles.
Most recently, I am starring in an independent film, "The Wendell Baker Story" with co-stars Owen and Luke Wilson, Will Ferrell, and Luke Wilson directing. Before that, My biggest movie was "Hitch", a romantic comedy with My playing opposite of Will Smith.
I am currently (2005) working on the sci-fi/ comic book adaptation of "Ghost Rider", starring with Nicholas Cage, which is directed by Mark Stephen Johnson and is planned to be released in 2006.
Along with acting, I am employed by Revlon Cosmetics as an international spokesperson. I joined the elite actresses and models such as Julianne Moore, Halle Berry, and Cindy Crawford who appear in Revlon's television and print ads. I am also a passionate supporter and active participant in Revlon's fight against breast cancer.
