Her status as a Latina bomba is not enough for her! Eva Mendès, wants to take up other challenges than those which condemn her to the roles of foil, and secretly hopes to know the career of her models Julianne Moore or Annette Bening.

After her parents' divorce, she grew up in the suburb of Glendale, Los Angeles. Very quickly, she abandoned her marketing studies and the University of Northridge to devote herself to acting, advised by coach Ivana Chubbuck.
After a remarkable debut in successful series (Urgences in 1998) she landed her first major role in 2001 with Training Day alongside Denzel Washington.
