Being Navajo Just Is

He likes 'The Princess Bride' and fairytale endings.

505 Por Vida!

Caught up with New Mexican actress Aviva and her friend Graciera. Aviva garnered recognition for her role in last summer's teen comedy hit Superbad and her recent work Forgiving the Franklins was featured at the festival. Not bad for somebody who started off in commercials selling fabric softener at the age of six.

And she really is just Supernice. Viva Aviva!
