Mena Suvari: See Photos

Mena Suvari: See Photos — Mena Suvari is an ace actress who entered the game with her breakout role in the iconic 1999 flick, American Beauty. Her electrifying performance earned her a well-deserved BAFTA nod and solidified her as a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry. But she didn’t stop there, oh no. Mena went on to steal the show as Heather in the hilarious American Pie films.

When she’s not gracing the big screen, Mena is slaying the small screen with standout recurring roles in hit shows like Six Feet Under, Chicago Fire, and the first season of the spine-tingling American Horror Story. More recent projects include the 2022 films Kendra and The Accursed. She plays actress Jane Wyman in Reagan, out 2023.

Off-screen, Mena is living her best life as a wife and a mother. She said “I do” to set decorator Michael Hope in 2018, and the two lovebirds welcomed their bundle of joy, Christopher, in April 2021. Check out more photos of Mena in our gallery now and see why she’s still got it after all these years.
