Eva Mendes: Childhood
Eva Mendes was born in Miami, Florida. Her parents are Cuban. Mendes was then raised in the LA suburb of Glendale by her mother, after her parents divorced. Mendes' mother stayed home to look after her until Eva went to school, at which point she became an accountant.
Mendes attended Hoover High School and then later, California State University in Northridge, where she studied marketing. However, she dropped out when she decided that she wanted to start an acting career, and studied acting with Ivana Chubbuck. In the past, Chubbuck has also been enlisted to coach Brad Pitt, Jared Leto and Jessica Alba.
Eva Mendes: Acting Career
Mendes started a career in front of the camera by appearing in music videos, such as Will Smith's 'Miami' and Pet Shop Boys' 'Se a vida é (That's the way life is)' as well as Aerosmith's 'Hole in My Soul'.
Eva Mendes' first film appearance was in the straight-to-video Children of the Corn V: Fields of Terror.

Mendes went on to work with Nicolas Cage in Ghost Rider and Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans. Following that, she shared screen time with a strong ensemble cast, including Joaquin Phoenix, Mark Wahlberg and Robert Duvall in We Own the Night. Then, in Frank Miller's 2008 film The Spirit, she worked with Samuel L. Jackson and Scarlett Johansson.
