Washington, October 25 : Mena Suvari, best known for her acclaimed performances in ‘American Beauty’ and ‘American Pie’, has admitted that she loves ‘a good scandal’ in a script.

The 29-year-old, who played her last hair-raising role in ‘American Beauty’ a decade ago, revealed that she couldn’t resist a well-scripted scandal, and was most impressed when she was offered with one in her latest movie ‘Sex Lies And Sin City: The Ted Binion Scandal.’

"Well, the script came to me, I read it and it really appealed to me,” CBS News quoted her as telling them.

“I sat down with our director, Peter Medak. I was really taken by it.

“I have always been interested in criminal psychology and read several books. I love a good scandal," she added.

The actress further said that she went to great length—including chopping off her hair, watching trial footage, and ‘Court TV’ interviews—to get into the skin of her character. (ANI)
