Mía Maestro
(born June 19, 1978) is an Argentine actress and a
trained classical music vocalist, which she learned in
Berlin at age 18. There she also learned the Brechtian
acting technique as well as dance. She was born in
Buenos Aires and won an ACE Award for performance in the
stage production of Pandora's Box.
She starred in Alias as Nadia Santos in Season 4 of the
drama. She then had a recurring role in the program's
5th season. In December 2005, she starred in Prince's
music video for "Te Amo Corazón."
In 2001, she was ranked #61 in Stuff's 100 Sexiest
Women. Also in 2001, she ranked #67 in Maxim's 100
Sexiest Women.
This sultry and sexy Argentine actress was most famously
known for portraying Nadia Santos, the long lost sister
to Jennifer Garner’s Sydney Bristow on the hit spy
serial “Alias” (ABC, 2001-05), however Mia Maestro
accumulated a selection of impressive film credits since
making her silver screen debut in Carlos Sauta’s
“Tango” (1998) – a film which would receive Golden
Globe and Academy Award nominations for Best Foreign
Language Film.
Maestro was born on June 19th, 1978 in Buenos Aires,
Argentina. Her mother was a former economist and her
father, a businessman. As a young child, Maestro was
convinced that she was a boy, perhaps kick-starting the
acting bug and starting her initial theatrical training
at a young age. When she was 18, Maestro moved to Berlin
to develop a vocal repertoire – in German – of the
works of Kurt Weill and Hans Eisler and to study
Brechtian acting techniques. All of this added to her
already rigorous schedule of vocal, dance and music
classes. Maestro’s experience in Berlin – both
inside and outside of school – gave her a renewed
spirit and confidence that translated into several
noteworthy dramatic performances when she eventually
returned to Buenos Aires.
Maestro’s first proper acting gig was in the Carlo
Goldoni commedia dell'arte, and by 1998 she secured the
coveted role of Lulu in Wedekind's “Pandora's Box”
at the San Martin Theater. For this, Maestro garnered an
Ace Award for Best New Artist of the Year.
In 1998, Maestro made her feature-film debut in
“Tango,” in which she played an aspiring dancer who
gets entangled in a romance with a film director. Just
one year later, Maestro traveled to Austria, where she
worked with Lauren Bacall and Dennis Hopper in “The
Venice Project” (1999). Ultimately, she moved to Los
Angeles and quickly landed a supporting role in Mike
Figgis’ digital video experimental film ”Timecode”
(2000), alongside Salma Hayek, with whom Maestro would
work again with in 2002's “Frida” – Hayek’s
labor of love biopic about the famed Mexican artist.
Maestro also appeared in the HBO biopic of Cuban jazz
musician Arturo Sandoval in “For Love or Country: The
Arturo Sandoval Story” (2000), starring opposite Andy
Garcia.
In 2001, the stunning Latin beauty was ranked #61 in
Stuff magazine’s “100 Sexiest Women” newsstand
special, as well as #67 on Maxim magazine’s “100
Sexiest Women” newsstand special. This, no doubt, led
to Maestro’s eye-popping appearance in a 2002 edition
of Playboy magazine.
After a small role in Ben Stiller's “Duplex” (2003),
Maestro played much larger role in Walter Salles Jr.'s
“The Motorcycle Diaries” (2004), a road movie roman
a clef that chronicled the early years of Latin American
revolutionary Che Guevara, starring opposite Gael Garcia
Bernal. The film premiered at the 2004 Sundance Film
Festival and the 57th Cannes Film Festival that same
year. Next Maestro accepted another supporting role in
Lucrecia Martel's coming-of-age drama “La Niña
Santa” (2004).
”Hollywood style” stardom came when J.J. Abrams
wanted Maestro to appear in his upcoming show “Lost”
(ABC, 2004- ), but she ended up nabbing the role of
Nadia Santos, the recurring character and eventual
series regular in “Alias.”
In 2004, Maestro worked alongside Lucas Black on the
independent feature “Deepwater” for director David
Marfield, and appeared in Venezuelan director Jonathan
Jakubowicz’s “Secuestro Express,” both released in
2005.
In the summer of 2005, Maestro starred in the Hans
Christian Anderson musical “My Life as a Fairy Tale”
at Lincoln Center in New York. Maestro also starred in
the music video for Prince’s single “Te Amo
Corazon.”
After “Alias” wrapped production, Maestro appeared
in “Poseidon” (2006), Wolfgang Peterson’s
ill-conceived remake of the classic disaster film “The
Poseidon Adventure” (1974) and in the questionable new
TV version of “The Ten Commandments” (ABC, 2006).
