Maria Bello made her acting debut in the 1992 movie Maintenance, in which she played the character Eddie. After that, she played a former film student in a 1995 episode of the television series Misery Loves Company titled “That Book by Nabokov.”
Bello starred in her first television series as a cast regular when she joined the show Mr. and Mrs. Smith. She played the role of Mrs. Smith from 1996 to 1997.

Who is Maria Bello’s fiancée Dominique Crenn?
Dominique Crenn is a chef and owner of Atelier Crenn, Petit Crenn, and Bar Crenn. In 2018, Crenn made history when she became the first woman in the United States to receive three stars from the Michelin Guide for her restaurant Atelier Crenn. This is the highest rating offered. The guide’s description of Crenn’s work and restaurant says it all:
At the hands of accomplished Chef Dominique Crenn, guests have rightly come to expect a thrilling meal at her singular atelier, replete with lustrous combinations, a keen understanding of flavors, and an impeccable sense of grace.
Another exclusive hallmark of dining here is the deeply hospitable and exemplary staff. They appear to virtually float in and out of the kitchen, which in turn prides itself on a sense of poetry expressed figuratively through dishes and quite literally via the actual poem composed by Chef Crenn to her father—it’s even etched into marble and on full display.
