Mena Adrienne
Suvari (born February 13, 1979) is an American actress.
She is perhaps best known for her work in American
Beauty (1999) and the first two American Pie films.
Early life: Suvari was born in Newport, Rhode
Island to Ando Süvari, an Estonian-American
psychiatrist, and Candice, a Greek American nurse. By
the age of twelve, Suvari was modeling; she starred in a
Rice-a-Roni commercial by the age of thirteen. Attended
Providence High School, in Los Angeles, California,
class of 1997.
Career: Suvari made appearances in television
shows such as Boy Meets World and ER at the age of
sixteen (fifteen for her first appearance on the
former). In 1999, Mena starred in the Oscar winning
American Beauty and the popular American Pie. She
followed these movies with roles in such movies as Loser
(2000), The Musketeer (2001), and Spun (2002). Suvari is
the only actress to appear in three consecutive movies
that start with the word "American": American
Pie (1999), American Beauty (1999), American Virgin
(2000). Suvari also became a recurring character in the
fourth season of the critically acclaimed HBO serial Six
Feet Under in 2004, as lesbian performance poet and
artist, Edie.
In 2006, she took the voice role of Aerith Gainsborough
in the Square Enix/Disney video game Kingdom Hearts II,
as well as the English-language version of Square Enix's
Final Fantasy VII Advent Children. She has lead roles in
the upcoming remake of the zombie movie Day of the Dead
as well as Stuart Gordan's "Stuck".
Best known as the object of Kevin Spacey's lust in
1999's celebrated "American Beauty", blonde,
sleepy-eyed Mena Suvari would reach stardom with her
film roles, but she got her start on television, acting
in guest parts on "Boy Meets World" (ABC) and
"Minor Adjustments" (UPN) before landing a
recurring role as the daughter of a brash police
sergeant on ABC's "High Incident" during the
1996-1997 season. More TV work followed, including 1997
appearances on "ER" and "Chicago
Hope".
That same year, the actress made her film debut with a
small role in Gregg Araki's "Nowhere", the
final installment in his Los Angeles-set teenage
wasteland trilogy. She followed up with a supporting
part in "Snide and Prejudice" (debuted at
Cannes 1997), playing Geli, a young girl abused by her
uncle Adolf in this odd take on the life of Hitler, set
in a mental institution and played out through a
schizophrenic man (Angus MacFadyen) who believes he is
the notorious leader.
Later that year Suvari was featured alongside Morgan
Freeman and Ashley Judd in the mystery thriller
"Kiss the Girls", adapted from James
Patterson's best-selling novel. In 1998, she appeared in
"The Slums of Beverly Hills" alongside Natasha
Lyonne, who would go on to co-star with the actress in
"Live Virgin" and "American Pie"
(both 1999).
Suvari became a familiar face to audiences in 1999, with
roles in several features. As the suicidal best friend
of a girl with telekinetic powers, her early exit from
"The Rage: Carrie 2" led to the titular
hysteria that brought down a cruel high school in this
forgettable revisiting of Brian De Palma's horror
classic. (The film also featured Eddie Kaye Thomas, who
would meet up with the actress in "American
Pie".) Returning to television, she played the
rebellious teenaged daughter of Rob Lowe's heroic NTSB
investigator in the NBC disaster miniseries "Atomic
Train". Suvari gained additional notice co-starring
as Heather, a poised choir girl who wins the heart of
amiable jock Oz (Chris Klein) in the summer hit
"American Pie". She turned in a memorable
performance in the sweetest storyline of this
surprisingly pleasant teen sex romp.
Touted as a latter-day "Fast Times at Ridgemont
High", the admittedly enjoyable film fell somewhat
short of that claim, though Suvari's performance
revealed a unique screen presence reminiscent of a young
Jennifer Jason Leigh. Her promise would continue to be
met with a featured role in "American Beauty"
as the teenage lust object of Kevin Spacey's regressing
middle-aged character. With a look and demeanor that
perfectly captured both childlike innocence and adult
sensuality, the actress impressed audiences and critics
alike as high school cheerleader and seemingly
sophisticated seductress Angela, a role that would
further prove her ability and seal her fame.
Following the rousing success of "American
Pie" and "American Beauty", Suvari had
become a hot Hollywood property. Her next role would be
opposite "Pie" star Jason Biggs in
"Loser" (2000), Amy Heckerling's college-set
romantic comedy. Here she examined the attraction
between older men and younger women with her role as
Dora, an undergraduate with a persistent crush on her
professor (Greg Kinnear).
Dora bonds over common misery with the titular shy
Midwesterner Paul (Biggs) in this charming New York
University-set feature. Suvari next joined the ensemble
of the black comedy "Sugar and Spice" (2001),
playing one of a group of close-knit cheerleaders whose
fierce loyalty in the face of adversity leads to some
questionable and criminal behavior; and she returned for
an abbreviated role in the sequel "American Pie
2" (2001).
In 2003, Suvari fore-went makeup and class when she
portrayed a speed addict in the dark comedy
"Spun," a film which also co-starred Jason
Schwartzman, Mickey Rourke and Brittany Murphy. In 2004
she re-teamed with her "American Beauty"
screenwriter Alan Ball on the fourth season of the hit
HBO series he created, "Six Feet Under,"
playing a daring performance artist who strikes up a
provocative relationship with series regular Claire
Fisher (Lauren Ambrose).
She then made an appearance as a flirtatious socialite
who ruthlessly pursues the lone employee (Bryce Wilson)
at a beauty salon in the Queen Latifah vehicle,
“Beauty Shop” (2005), a spin-off of the popular
“Barbershop” franchise.
Personal life: Suvari married German-born
cinematographer Robert Brinkmann on March 18, 2000. The
marriage was notable as Brinkmann is 18 years older than
Suvari. However, Suvari filed for legal separation from
Brinkmann on April 24, 2005, citing irreconcilable
differences. The two divorced in May of the same year.
In Summer 2005, she began dating break dancer Mike
"Murda" Carrasco.
Is quoted on her website as saying, "I really like
most styles of music. I am very much into hip-hop, soul,
funk, and especially reggae, and really, there are too
many artists to mention, but I like a lot of old school
music.", Suvari also plays on the World Poker Tour
in the Hollywood Home games for the Starlight Children's
Foundation charity.
