Biography
Suvari Mina was born in the coastal American city of Newport, on February 13, 1979, into a medical family. Father, Ando Suvari, a psychiatrist, came to the United States from Estonia, and Candice's mother, who works as a nurse, was of Norwegian, German and Greek roots.
Mina was the youngest, fourth child in the family and the only daughter. The name was given to her by her aunt, mother's sister, and the red-haired girl with an unusual name was sometimes laughed at at school. Mina spent the first years of her life in a mansion built back in 1870, and dreamed of becoming an archaeologist in order to unravel ancient mysteries.
In 1990, the Suvari family moved to Charleston, and here Mina got into a prestigious girls' school, which had its own rather solid modeling agency. The girl began to visit him, her appearance and plasticity were noticed by scouts of the modeling business, and at the age of 12 she signed her first money contract with the famous Wilhelmina Models.
It was quite difficult for Mina to get an education, constantly rolling from city to city for shows. But the main work of the young model took place in Los Angeles, and therefore the parents decided to move there. By the end of school, Mina changed her hair color to a blonde, found a new dream - to become an actress and managed to gain serious experience in the modeling business.
Film career
Mina became a new discovery for Hollywood in the 90s. She continued to work as a model and went to the casting for the first time to try her hand at acting, and the first attempt was successful. In 1997, the first film with her participation was released, the teenage science fiction drama "Nowhere". A girl with an unusual appearance and talented acting was noticed, and in the same year she gets a more serious role in the film "Kissing Girls", where she works with real stars: Ashley Judd, Morgan Freeman and others.
Soon, Suvari Mina, starring in the popular TV series "Ambulance", gets a job in a serious project of the Englishman Sam Menders, who filmed his debut film "American Beauty". The picture became fateful for the entire team of creators and actors - it won 5 Oscars, one of which went to the young actress Suvari - for her supporting role. The incredible success and the prestigious award, of course, affected the girl's career. She has become one of the most "filmed" actresses in Hollywood.
She has more than fifty works in films and TV shows of various genres. Mina easily changed her image for a new job, was never shy about bed scenes and always played with full dedication, earning many awards and acquiring an impressive army of fans of her talent and beauty. For the 2008 film Garden of Eden, she shaved her head, for the series Chicago Firefighters, she acquired the skills of professional rescuers. Mina appeared in the list of the most erotic models of "Maxim" and held several candid photo sessions for the magazine, not hiding her tattoos.
Personal life
Immediately after receiving her Oscar, the 22-year-old became the wife of Robert Brinkmann, a cameraman who was 16 years her senior. The family lasted only five years. In 2007, she met a young promising promoter Simon Sestito, and in 2010 they got married.
Soon, Mina realized that she was in a hurry - the guy just needed a money star that would pay off his many loans and provide for his expensive habits. In 2012, Suvari filed for divorce, which was slightly delayed, as the rejected husband tried to demand from Mina to pay him alimony monthly and for the rest of his life through the court. In the fall of 2018, Suvari married Michael Hope, and hopes that this time she found true love.
