Mena Suvari is an American actress, producer, designer and model who became one of the defining young stars of late-'90s cinema. After early guest roles on Boy Meets World and ER as a teenager, she made her film debut in Nowhere (1997). Her breakthrough came in 1999 with two very different hits: the acclaimed drama American Beauty, as Angela, which brought her a BAFTA supporting actress nomination, and the comedy American Pie, as Heather, a role she played in three films. Her screen credits also include Slums of Beverly Hills (1998), The Rage: Carrie 2 (1999), Loser (2000), Sugar & Spice (2001), The Musketeer (2001), Spun (2003), Rumor Has It... (2005), Stuck (2007), Day of the Dead (2008) and Reagan (2024). On television she earned a Screen Actors Guild nomination for HBO's Six Feet Under, appeared on Chicago Fire and played Elizabeth Short in American Horror Story: Murder House, returning in Apocalypse and American Horror Story: 13. Her role in the short-form series RZR (2024) brought a Primetime Emmy nomination. Suvari has modeled for Lancôme and is a longtime supporter of children's and African health charities, including the Starlight Children's Foundation.
