Alice Braga

AGE: 23. PROVENANCE: Sã Paulo, Brazil. YOU MIGHT KNOW HER FROM: City of God, Fernando Meirelles's 2002 him set in the slums of Rio de Janeiro, in which Braga, radiant and raven-maned, stood out from the Scorsese-esque scrum of hoodlums and scuzz. POISED TO MAKE HER HOLLYWOOD FEMALE-LEAD DEBUT IN: I Am Legend, opposite Will Smith, due out Thanksgiving 2007 SO IS SHE RELATED TO SONIA (KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN) BRAGA? Yes. Alica's mother, Ana Maria Braga, an actress turned director is the kid sister of Brazil's most famous actress. Sônia left Brazil to live in the U.S. the year that I was born, 1983, and she iust moved back to Brazil last year," says Alice. "So it's funny, I was always close to her but it was always a very faraway relationship. It was an influence, but distant. My mom was the major, major influence."
