15 celebs that got their starts in horror movies (With Pictures)

9. Eva Mendes – Children of the Corn V: Fields of Terror

Eva Mendes‘ first ever film role was in the straight to video fifth installment in the Children of the Corn franchise. She plays a teenager who is convinced by the cult of children who follow “He Who Walks Behind the Rows” to sacrifice herself to the God who dwells in the silo. Since it was only her first film role, she was understandably disappointed with her performance and decided to hire an acting coach. She also appeared in Urban Legends: Final Cut before getting her big break with a role inTraining Day.
