Alice Braga was exposed to the world of acting at an early age since her mother Ana Braga is a famous Brazilian actress. Alice Braga's aunt Sonia Braga too is a well-known Brazilian actress. Alice Braga got her break into modeling and acting by her mother's director-friend, who got her a yogurt commercial in 1991.
Alice Braga made her big-screen debut with a Spanish movie "Trampolim" in 1998. She then took a break to pursue her school studies. Alice Braga later came back with a bang in 2002. Her next Spanish movie "Cidade de Deus" {City of God: 2002} became a smash hit and catapulted her to fame. She continued her success streak with films like "Cidade Baixa" {Lower City: 2005}, "Solo Dios sabe" {Only God Knows: 2006} and "Cheiro do Ralo, O" {Drained: 2006}.
