“I'm absolutely in love with the world. The worst thing a person can do is disrespect the environment and the responsibilities we have as people to protect the more vulnerable.”
Birthname:
Elissa Sursara
For exotic talent Elissa Sursara, a rolling camera has been a normalcy since the age of four, when the very-long-haired child model was hand picked from 1,000 pictures to become the face of Brazil's premiere baby clothing company for a 12-month contract, quickly earning her a position as the youngest, highest paid and most recognizable face in children's print in the South American region.Continuing her print success well after her contract finished, the Brazilian child model, actress and tween star quickly became a household name in her native Brazil when she transitioned to television in 1994, sought after by US talent and casting agents to frequent their most popular television programs, an early career move that scored the blue-eyed starlet lucrative representation in the United States, a feat deemed near impossible for Brazilian entertainers.
With stints in prime-trime US dramas and sitcoms, Sursara appeared on and off Brazilian, Australian and US television with roles alongside fellow latina superstar Gisele Bundchen and a prominent co-hosting role on a Brazilian children's show, winning her a Brazilian Choice Award as Most Popular Actress on a Television Show. Quickly becoming the subject of still-growing media interest, Sursara found herself in made-for-television film with offers for big-budget and Box Office roles at her feet by 2007.
Described as an award-winning actress and sex symbol by her sixteenth birthday, Sursara will appear on and off the big screen through 2009, 2010 and 2011 with over a dozen confirmed and in negotiation roles under her belt, all before her 21st birthday.
