Zoë Yanira Zaldaña Nazario (born June
19, 1978), better known as Zoë Saldaña, is a Dominican
American actress.
Early life
Zoë Saldaña was born in New Jersey to immigrants from
the Dominican Republic. Her first languages are Spanish and English.
She was raised in Queens, New York, but when she was nine, her father
died in a car accident, and her mother moved her and her sister
back to the Dominican Republic. While there, she enlisted in a ballet
class and gained experience as a dancer, enlisting in one of the
most prestigious dancing schools of that country, which benefited
her during her later role in Center Stage. Saldaña returned
to the USA after her sophomore year in high school, and enrolled
in the Faces Theater Program, an acting course. She also worked
in Burger King as a cashier in the mid 90s.
