What about an artist like Samantha Matis? How successful was her career? What films did the actress star in? What is known about her personal life? In our publication, I would like to consider the biography of Samantha Matis, as well as the creative path of the actress.
early years
Samantha Matis was born on May 12, 1970 in the city of New York, United States. When the girl was two years old, her parents decided to leave. The upbringing of the daughter was completely and completely assumed by the mother of our heroine - Bibi Besh. The latter, by the way, was a rather successful Hollywood actress. The artist was also the grandmother of the girl - Gusti Huber. Therefore, Samantha Matis did not have to think about the future profession. After all, she had to continue the acting dynasty.
And so it happened. From a young age, the baby began to attend numerous auditions. The first samples as an actress for the young Samantha Matis were shooting in television commercials. The girl was able to get such invaluable experience thanks to her mother's connections in the film industry.
Movie debut
The career of a professional actress began for Samantha Matis in 1990. It was during this period that our heroine was offered the first full-fledged role in the musical film "Cut it to the fullest." Here, the aspiring actress got the image of the central heroine - a poetess named Nora Diniro. The partner of Samantha on the set was the Hollywood handsome Christian Slater. It is noteworthy that the love on the screen over time grew between the actors into a real romantic relationship.
Career development
In the early 90s, Samantha Matis acquired the status of one of the most promising young Hollywood actresses. Contributed to this extraordinary diligence of the artist and the ability to give all of himself to work on the set. During the first six years in the film industry, Samantha Matis managed to star in as many as fifteen films. The most successful works with her participation were such projects as “The Man Who Looks”, “Broken Arrow”, “What is Called Love”, and “Super Mario Brothers”.
Given such an impressive demand for cooperation with the actress, Samantha Matis predicted a great and bright future in Hollywood. However, in a subsequent career, the artist quickly declined. Promising projects with her participation one after another failed at the box office. Hopes for the return of the artist to the peak of fame have somewhat revived after filming in the cult thriller "American Psycho." In the film, which was released on wide screens in 2000, the actress played along with the famous Christian Bale. However, as time has shown, even working in tandem with a real Hollywood star did not allow the artist to count on attention from respected directors.
After filming in the film “American Psycho,” Samantha Matis noted her work in several more successful projects. In particular, she played one of the main characters in the action movie Punisher. She also got episodic images in popular television series, such as Anatomy of Grace, Die Your Enthusiasm, and House Doctor.
Recent work of the actress
In 2007, the already elderly Samantha Matis, whose films were not very popular, seemed to be able to get a prominent role in the promising project "Lost." However, the creators of the series decided to "get rid" of the actress after filming the first episode of the series. Samantha's character was deleted from the script for inexplicable reasons.
The last work in a big movie for the actress was the role of Alice Calvert - the heroine of the mystical series “Under the Dome” based on the eponymous work of the cult writer Stephen King. Subsequently, the artist decided to completely and completely focus on work in the theater, regularly appearing on the stage of various creative venues in the city of New York.
Samantha Matis: personal life
Back in 1993, during the filming in the melodramatic tape "What is called Love," the actress began a whirlwind romance with another leading actor, River Phoenix. Everything went to marriage. However, the fate of the artists was different. Shortly after the film was released on wide screens, the River unexpectedly passed away. This led to an overdose of a mixture of heroin and cocaine during a vacation in the Viper Room club, which was owned by a friend of the famous couple - Johnny Depp. It is noteworthy that after a tragic incident, the ex-boyfriend of the actress Christian Slater replaced Phoenix in the film “Interview with the Vampire”, and donated his fee to a fund organized in memory of Rivera.
It is worth noting that, in addition to acting in films and on the stage, Samantha Matis is fond of floristry. In addition, our heroine runs a design bureau called Succulent LA. A significant part of the company's profits goes to charity. Currently, the actress lives in Los Angeles, where she has developed excellent friendships with another Hollywood star - Sandra Bullock.
