Excerpt:
âThe first thing I did was music videos, it wasnât modeling in the world of high fashion or anything like that. The truth is, I went to them with the mentality of âhow could they not hire me? â I was so convinced that I could do it. At 22, I was sure that this was my world. I went to college, but I didnât graduate, and I asked myself âwhat do I want to do with my life? â I felt the weight, in a positive sense, of parents who emigrated to the United States and almost immediately after I was born. I wanted to do something that would show them that their sacrifice of arriving in exile with nothing had made sense. I didnât know what it was, but I knew I had to do something that would allow me to say âmommy, Iâm going to buy you a house. â My mom keeps notes from me when I was seven and eight years old in which I tell her âIâm going to buy you a house. â That was my motivation.â The truth is, starting interview articles with a quote is only worth it if it gives you the most honest vibe from the interviewee⌠Well, that's how transparent, authentic, warrior and Latina is the Cuban-American mother, wife, actress, model, businesswoman and writer Eva Mendes .

I miss seeing her in movies. she was a fun screen presence and always had great comic timing. she seems happy in semi-retirement, though.
I admire her willingness to set and hold boundaries, especially where her children are concerned. I enjoy the snippets she shares on social media but appreciate that thatâs all we get.Â
Fellow Cubana, I love her and think she’s so gorgeous and talented.
