Milena Smit was born on 5 October 1996 in Elche, Spain. She first started working in show business as a model when she was 15 years old. She worked in her home city and later moved to Madrid in search of career opportunities. Her father is Dutch. She trained as an actress at the Cristina Rota acting school and was taught by Bernard Hiller, an acting coach of such actors as Leonardo DiCaprio and Cameron Diaz. Before becoming an actress, she was a waitress, shop assistant, babysitter, and information assistant on the subway. Smit's first film appearances were in various short films such as Diagonales, Innermost, Chimichanga, and Adentro. In 2020, she appeared in her first feature film, Cross the Line, directed by David Victori with Mario Casas. For her work on the film, she was nominated at the Goya Awards for best new actress. The film's casting team discovered the actress via a social network: "After much searching, we found Milena on Instagram. We fell in love with everything she had in common with the character." After her participation in Cross the Line, she was signed by Pedro Almodóvar for his film Parallel Mothers with Penélope Cruz and Aitana Sánchez-Gijón. In the film, Smit and Cruz play women who become pregnant by accident and befriend each other in the maternity ward. Both characters give birth to girls on the same day. On her performance in the film, director Almodóvar said: "she has an emotional intelligence and a sincerity that are not learned in any school"; he also said her role in the 2020 film Cross the Line was "overwhelming". Smit received a Goya Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress for the role.It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like). Read More
