Nina Dobrev
Oh, right, you’re thinking to yourself. Teenage mothers are so . . . 2007.
This is 2009, the year of the cult vampire.
If you’re one of the handful of TV viewers whose obsessions run to Degrassi: The Next Generation, you know Nina Dobrev as unapologetic party girl and teenage mom Mia Jones – the transfer student from Lakehurst who dropped out of school to become a model, only to return to her old haunts, and habits.
The Bulgaria-born, Toronto-raised Dobrev was a regular in Degrassi since that program’s sixth season.
Now, she’s about to be thrust into the bright, hot spotlight of U.S. network television in The Vampire Diaries, based on the popular series of young-adult novels by L.J. Smith.
