Eva Mendes was inspired by Angelina Jolie to make her directorial debut (2010). She said, 'It's about time we heard more women's voices and points of view in cinema because it's a male-dominated industry."
Mendes tells Britain's Hello! magazine, "I loved the whole experience. I believe we need more women behind the camera. This year, with Kathryn Bigelow winning an Oscar and Angelina Jolie directing a film, it's a great time for women to step behind the camera."
I feel that Eva Mendes is very ambitious lady. She is not just a sexy actress only.
