Eva Mendes used to be a marketing major at California State University. She was on her way to becoming a marketing executive when fate decided to cross her path. One of her friends included Eva in his portfolio, and a talent manager recruited her from there. Thus began her career in modeling and commercials. A filmmaker saw one of the modeling campaigns and decided to recruit her in the film, Children of the Corn V, and thus began her career in acting. Since then, she has worked in movies like The Fast and The Furious franchise, Hitch, Ghost Rider, and many more.
