Jordana Brewster was born April 26, 1980, in Panama City, Panama. The daughter of Alden Brewster, an investment banker, and Maria Joao, a former Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model (which would explain Jordana's exotic looks), Jordana was relocated several times before finally settling down in Manhattan, New York. The Brewster family moved to London, England, where they lived for 6 years, before moving to Rio de Janiero for 4 years. Jordana's early start in showbiz can be traced back to her days in Brazil, where she danced with other children, on the popular children's show, Xuxa Against Evil. She also became fluent in Portuguese while living in Rio. By the time the Brewster family moved to New York, Jordana knew she was interested in acting, and participated in theater during her school days at Sacred Heart. Wanting to further delve into acting, Jordana moved on to the New York Professional Children's School to perfect her skills. She made her American television debut on the daytime soap opera, All My Children, in a one-time appearance, while still at school. She moved on to a more lucrative role on the soap As The World Turns, as Nikki Munson-Graves. During her three years on the show, she was offered a role in the blockbuster, Independence Day, but had to decline since her soap opera schedule didn't allow her the time.
