The Greek-American beauty Maria Menounos has been a natural fit for entertainment since she started pursuing pageantry as a teen. Born on June 8, 1978, in Medford, Massachusetts, Maria debuted in beauty pageants at 17 and a year later, she won the Miss Massachusetts Teen USA crown, sending her to Miss Teen USA. Although she didn't win, she later competed for Miss Massachusetts USA in 2000 and finished as the first runner-up. Maria Menounos' parents wanted her to work on something more...
Maria Menounos became a famous face when she established her career as an Entertainment Tonight correspondent. She later moved on to Access Hollywood, but it was her appearances on Scrubs, One Tree Hill and Without A Trace, as well as in the films Fantastic Four and Kickin It Old Skool that solidified this Greek goddess' star power in the industry.
