"Eva Mendes has spoken about which actresses she looks up to in the industry. The 38-year-old star named Julianne Moore and Annette Bening as the two actresses she admires most when discussing her role as a mother in her latest film Girl in Progress.   Mendes recalled that her role as a mother in Training Day was what put her on the map. &amp;quot;I think that, when you play a mother, whether you play a bad mother or a not so great mother or an amazing mother, being a mother is already so complicated,&amp;quot; she told Collider. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s already three-dimensional, automatically, no matter what the role is, because you&amp;#039;re playing a mother.\u00C2\u00A0 I welcome it.\u00C2\u00A0 The more complicated a role can be and the more flawed a character can be is what I&amp;#039;m looking for.\u00C2\u00A0  &amp;quot;The careers that I admire and actually try to emulate are those of Julianne Moore and Annette Bening.\u00C2\u00A0 Those women, to me, make amazing choices.\u00C2\u00A0They&amp;#039;re sexy, beautiful women, but that doesn&amp;#039;t dictate their choices.&amp;quot; Mendes can also be seen in the PBS documentary Half the Sky and The Place Beyond the Pines, which stars Mendes&amp;#039;s real-life love Ryan Gosling.
