In the summer of '99, you couldn't turn without hitting a film with America in the title and Mena Suvari in the cast list. Well I mean, I think there was only two - American Pie and American Beauty - but the young blonde actress was a big part of both of them, and seemed destined for greater things. Cut ahead to about 15 years later (ie the present day) and outside of a cameo appearance in the recent American Reunion, I can't say I've seen much of Ms Suvari. Except in the direct-to-video remake of Day of the Dead that I try really, really hard not to remember. Dammit, failed again. Stupid article. To be fair to Suvari, she hasn't quite finished with acting altogether, just faded from the public consciousness somewhat. Y'know, compared to when she starred in two of the biggest films of the year in the same summer. It has been a couple of years since she's appeared in anything, though, which means it's been about three years since she's been filming. besides a bit part in firefighting TV show Chicago Fire (that's a show about firefighters, not a show that fights fires itself). Suvari, sadly, just seems to be one of those lost souls that picked the wrong parts and is dealing with the consequences. I blame Kevin Spacey, personally.
