The then-36-year-old actress looked summery chic in a striped jumpsuit by Madewell — a far cry from her early days on screen.
Eighteen years earlier, she made her feature film debut in Robert Rodriguez’s sci-fi horror classic The Faculty, written by Kevin Williamson and featuring a star-studded cast that included Clea DuVall, Laura Harris, Josh Hartnett, Shawn Hatosy, Famke Janssen, Piper Laurie, Bebe Neuwirth, Robert Patrick, Usher Raymond, Jon Stewart, and Elijah Wood.

Jordana Brewster starred as Delilah Profitt, a popular and vindictive cheerleading captain and editor of the student paper. The Faculty was theatrically released on December 25, 1998, and she had celebrated her 18th birthday earlier that year, on April 26.
Jordana Brewster’s Brazilian Roots: Does She Speak Portuguese?
In “The Faculty,” Jordana Brewster’s character, Delilah, proudly declares, “Yeah, and I’m Portuguese.” In real life, Jordana is the daughter of a former Brazilian swimsuit model and speaks fluent Portuguese. She is committed to teaching her children the language and preserving their Brazilian heritage.
“They were born in the US, but I’m doing everything I can to infuse my Brazilian culture into them,” she told PopSugar in 2016 about her sons, Rowan Brewster-Form and Julian Form-Brewster.
“I’m creating a mini Rio in Los Angeles for my boys. I speak Portuguese to Julian. Every weekend, we have a feijoada, or Brazilian barbecue, with goiabada tarts and brigadeiro. I want them to enjoy the same things I relished growing up.”

“My mom is Brazilian and I lived in Brazil from the age of six to 10. I consider it a huge part of myself, because those were formative years growing up. And as a kid, it was funny, because when I came to New York at the age of 10, I always felt very Brazilian, and then in Brazil, I always felt very American—so I always felt a little bit out of place,” she told HuffPost in 2012.
