The daughter of veteran character actor Paul Sorvino, Mira was born January 28, 1967, in Tenafly, N.J. She earned a degree in East Asian studies from Harvard University and entered the film industry as an assistant director -- not as an actress.But the family bug eventually bit, and after a stint on the television soap "Guiding Light," Sorvino began making film appearances in the early 1990s, starting with Amongst Friends, Barcelona and Quiz Show.
