[edit] Early life
Jordanova was born in Helsinki, Finland to Bulgarian musicians. She is fluent in Bulgarian, Finnish and English and speaks some Spanish, French and Russian.[citation needed] Jordanova's parents relocated the family to Finland when Vera was 14.[clarification needed] She studied several languages at a high school that specialized in language instruction before a modeling scout spotted her and helped launch her career as a model.
[edit] Career
On the heels of her discovery, Jordanova appeared on several Finnish magazine covers, which led to more work outside Finland. International campaigns Jordanova appeared in include Felina Lingerie, Bacardi Lime, and Clarins, shot by photographer Gilles Bensimon. Jordanova was featured in the 2006 Maxim calendar and has appeared in FHM and the Czech Republic's June 2007 edition of Esquire.
At this time, Jordanova started acting in Finland, where she appeared in a few Finnish TV series.[vague] Her debut in American cinema was in Eli Roth's horror sequel Hostel II, playing the part of Axelle, a mysterious woman who works for Elite Hunting to lure tourists into the Slovakian "death factory" for worldwide clientele of torture aficionados. She also appeared in Rocco Deluca & the Burden's "Colorful" music video.
