Maria Elana Bello was born on April 18, 1967 in Norristown, Pennsylvania.
Maria went to Villanova University, where she majored in political science. She
had every intention of becoming a lawyer, but she took an acting class during
her senior year, just for fun. Maria discovered she was very good at acting, and
she was soon cast in small, off-Broadway plays, such as "The Killer Inside Me",
"Small Town Gals With Big Problems" and "Urban Planning". She later
guest-starred on episodes of "The Commish", "Nowhere Man", "Misery Loves
Company" and "Due South".
Maria Bello got her big break when she was cast in the spy show "Mr. & Mrs.
Smith" as Mrs. Smith, but the show was cancelled after just 8 weeks on the air.
Then came a role on "ER" as Dr. Anna Del Amino, making such a good performance
that the producers asked her back as a regular for the series.
