Zoe Saldaña

Zoë Yadira Saldaña-Perego (née Saldaña Nazario; born June 19, 1978) is a Dominican-Puerto Rican actress. Known primarily for her work in science fiction film franchises, she has appeared in four of the six highest-grossing films of all time (Avatar, Avatar: The Way of Water, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame), a feat not achieved by any other performer.[2] Films she has appeared in grossed more than $13 billion worldwide and, as of 2023, she is the second-highest-grossing film actress of all time, and the fourth actor overall.

A trained dancer, Saldaña began her acting career in two 1999 episodes of Law & Order. Her first film role was in Center Stage (2000) in which she played a ballet dancer. She received early recognition for her work opposite Britney Spears in the road film Crossroads (2002). In 2009, Saldaña achieved a career breakthrough with her work in several science fiction film franchises, beginning with her roles as Nyota Uhura in the Star Trek film series and Neytiri in James Cameron's Avatar film series.

She portrayed Gamora in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, beginning with Guardians of the Galaxy (2014).[5] In addition to such franchise work, Saldaña has starred in two projects in 2022, both for Netflix: the science fiction film The Adam Project and the romantic drama miniseries From Scratch, based on a memoir by Tembi Locke. Saldaña was born on June 19, 1978, in Passaic, New Jersey[6] Her parents were Aridio Saldaña, who was Dominican,[7][8] and Asalia Nazario, of Puerto Rican descent. Nazario was living as a child with her mother in the Dominican Republic, but they migrated to New York to escape political unrest. Spanish is an official language in both places, and English is also official in PR.

Their father died in a vehicle crash when Saldaña was nine. Her mother sent the three sisters to the Dominican Republic to be raised by their late father's family. She stayed in New York to work in order to afford private school for the girls.[6] The widowed mother Asalia married Dagoberto Galán, who became the stepfather of the girls. They consider him fully their father. Saldaña discovered her love of dance while living in the Dominican Republic. She was enrolled in the ECOS Espacio de Danza Academy studying forms of dance,[11][12][17][18] but describes ballet as her passion.[12][19] She told Vanity Fair that she quit ballet because she did not "have the feet", and had too much pride and ambition to just be in the corps de ballet.

In 1995, Saldaña performed with the Faces theater group in Brooklyn.[21] She appeared in plays that encouraged teens by exploring such issues as substance abuse and adolescent sex. During these years, she performed with the New York Youth Theater; her appearance in their production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat led a talent agency to recruit her. Her dance training and her acting experience helped her land her first film role, playing ballet student Eva Rodriguez in Center Stage (2000).
