Happy Birthday: Eva Mendes

Eva Mendes

Born: March 5, 1974 in Miami, Florida, USA

I wanted to go into art history. Acting fell into my lap when a neighbor took pictures of me and showed them to an agent.

I wanted to be a nun when I was very little. Well, that was until my sister told me that they don’t get paid. Then I went off with that idea quickly.

The celebrity world can be so ugly. Everyone seems to have slept with everyone else and it’s some sort of strange weird cycle. I don’t want to get into that.

I don’t go to premieres. I attend film openings I’m in, and that’s about it. Fame and celebrity doesn’t matter to me. The longevity of my career does.
