Camila Mendes

Childhood and family

Camila Carraro Mendes was born on 29 June 1994, in the small town of Charlottesville in Virginia. Camila's parents Victor and Giselle Mendez are Brazilians. She also has an older sister Vivian.

Camila Mendes in her childhood

After Camila's birth, her family moved at least 16 times. Her father had been getting promotions one after another, but then her parents divorced, and Camila's mom and sister have been looking for a town where they could build a cozy family nest. When Camilla was 10 years old, she lived at her mother’s homeland in Brazil.

Finally, the family settled in Florida, where Mendes has spent most of her childhood.

Basically, her tattoo «to build a home» under the breast is actually connected with such an unstable state that she faced being a child. Because of their frequent relocations, Camilla realized that the only possible way to stability is to find the peace and harmony inside of her own soul instead of looking for that in the outside world. She said that her life goal is to build such a «home» inside of her.

Camilla attended American Heritage School which is a private boarding school in Plantation town. In May, 2016 Mendes graduated from Tisch School of the Arts at NYU with a degree of Bachelor of Arts. Such famous actors and directors as Woody Allen, Whoopi Goldberg, Anne Hathaway and Alec Baldwin are the alumni of this famous school. While studying in Tisch Camila also enrolled for two semesters at one of the most prestigious theater school – The Stonestreet Studios Conservatory of Screen Acting and Production in New York.

In 2016, Camila made the best choice in her career with starring in the series Riverdale based on the Archie comics. Drama series and its heroes immediately won the love of a teenage audience. Camila’s character is the eloquent high school student Veronica Lodge, who is one of the central figures in the story: she appears in every episode of every season. Brunette Camila admitted that she had to dye her hair even darker shade for this role.

–The two scenes they had me audition with were the closet scene with Archie, which is an intimate, nice, sweet moment, and the takedown of Cheryl in the pilot. It was fun and it felt amazing participating in that scenes. I had never felt so good about something in my life.

It`s difficult to judge about the talent of the actress who played only one role. Mendes should try herself in different projects.

For me she is an actress of one role. She is like many young star actors, shining bright in the beginning and going off fast.
