Dominique Aryan Swain was born on August 12, 1980 in Malibu, California to electrical engineer David Swain Sr. and Cindy Swain. From her father's first marriage, Dominique has a half-sister and brother, and in a marriage with Cindy, David had three daughters - Alexis (born in 1978), Chelsea (born in 1982) and, in fact, Dominic.
The future actress studied at Malibu High School. During her school years, young Dominique was fond of sports, art and music. Unlike her other eminent colleagues, Swain did not pursue art at the expense of her studies and eventually graduated with honors. Dominique got her first job in Hollywood when she was only 12 years old: in the film The Good Son (1993), she performed the functions of an understudy for the young actress Quinn Culkin, the younger sister of the famous Macaulay Culkin, who played one of the main characters in this film.
In 1995, Dominique Swain took part in the casting for the lead role in the eponymous adaptation of the famous novel by Vladimir Nabokov "Lolita". The 14-year-old girl was chosen by the creators of the tape from 2.5 thousand aspiring actresses, and as a result, her acting in Lolita was highly appreciated by viewers and critics. The picture was released in 1997 - two months later than another film with the participation of Dominique - "Face Off". That is why the first work in Swain's filmography is a drama with elements of science fiction "Face Off", but her debut role in a big movie is "Lolita".
For both of these paintings, which became significant for Dominique, she was nominated for several film awards. Her work in "Face Off" won a Saturn Award for Best Young Actor or Actress, and "Lolita" brought Swain nominations for the Chicago Film Critics Association Award ("Most Promising Actor"), MTV Movie Awards ("Best Kiss"). "- with Jeremy Irons), YoungStar Award ("Best Young Actress in a Miniseries or TV Movie") and Young Artist Awards ("Best Actress in a TV Movie/Series Pilot/Miniseries"). Swain won only the last of the awards listed, but so many nominations for various awards spoke of one thing: a new young star was lit in Hollywood.
The next project of the actress was the drama with elements of the comedy "Fan" (1998), where she played the main role. After Lolita, Dominic was invited exclusively to the roles of titular characters: following the Fangirl, Swain played the main characters in the films Intern (1999), Bad Girls (2000), Summer Fun (2001), College ( 2001), "Death in the Water" (2001) and the short film "Angry Sucks" (2001).
Glory to Dominique, as a movie star who made a breakthrough at a young age, began to fade away a little, because neither the above tapes, nor the next several works in which she played the main roles - "Pumpkin" (2002), "Best Girlfriend (2002), Kill Edgar (2003), All Virgins Break (2003), The Last Contract (2003), Free Swimming (2004), Intimate Deception (2004), Dead Season "(2004), "Military Legal Service" (2005, series, 1 episode), "Soul Eater" (2005) and "Apprentice" (2005).
Then Dominic starred in the drama "Alpha Dog" (2005), which brought together a star cast: Emile Hirsch, Justin Timberlake, Ben Foster, Anton Yelchin, Bruce Willis, Sharon Stone, Amanda Seyfried, Olivia Wilde and others. The character Dominic played in the film is far from the main role, so the picture did not become a new breakthrough for the actress. Sadly, it was Alpha Dog that marked the decline of Dominique Swain's career, because after it she appeared mainly in second-rate films that did not gain popularity and did not bring her fame.
Between 2006 and 2015, Swain's filmography includes Deadly Harvest (2007, starring role and debut as a producer), Prairie Sunset (2008), The Way of the Blade (2008), " Road to Nowhere (2010) and Embers (2015).
On January 15, 2008, actor Brad Renfro died of a heroin overdose - Dominique Swain's partner in the films Summer Fun, College and The Last Contract, with whom she was actively credited with an affair. Officially, the actors have never met, but many journalists have a different opinion on this matter. Be that as it may, the media will not know the whole truth, because Dominique Swain is not a big fan of talking about her personal life.
The public still does not know about any of the actress's novels, and all that her life is famous for besides cinema is social activities. In 2001, 21-year-old Dominique posed nude for the "I'd Rather Go Naked than Wear Fur" campaign initiated by animal rights organization PETA. Swain became the youngest the person who has ever posed nude for a PETA campaign.
Perhaps the nondescript personal life was one of the reasons for the decline in the popularity of Dominique Swain. At some point, filmmakers simply stopped inviting the “unpromoted” actress to the title roles, who could not boast of bright personal and professional events. Swain, like many of her colleagues who had lost popularity, was forced to be content with filming in low-budget films, which eventually received devastating reviews from viewers and critics and low ratings.

Early years, childhood and family Dominique Swain
Dominique Ariane Swain was born on August 12, 1980 in the world-famous city of Malibu (California). Her father was an electrical engineer, and little is known about her mother. In addition to Dominique herself, her family also had three more daughters, one of which is Chelsea Swain, also known as a talented actress.In the south of the United States, everything has always been saturated with the romance of cinema. Perhaps that is why, from an early age, our today's heroine began to dream of the profession of an actress. In 1993, the girl got the role of an understudy for one of the young actresses in the film "The Good Son", but she still did not appear in the frame.
Subsequently, a similar situation happened on the set of the cult film Interview with the Vampire. Dominique was on the list of main contenders for the role of Claudia for a long time, but at the last moment she ceded the right to shoot to another aspiring actress - Kirsten Dunst.
Two offensive failures hit the actress's pride hard, but later the girl still managed to find some inner balance in herself. Soon Dominique Swain played her first roles ... in music videos. While still in her teens, she appeared in several music videos for Nickelback, Shaun Mullins, and several other artists. Some time later, the girl also performed her first television roles - in several episodes of the series "Military Legal Service".
Star Trek actress Dominique Swain, filmography
Dominique Swain got her first bright role in 1997 in the cult action movie Face Off. This project literally divided her career into “Before” and “After”. Working with such giants of American cinema as John Travolta And Nicolas Cage became a great help in the future career of an actress. And therefore, very soon, new roles began to appear in the filmography of the young star.Dominique Swain as Lolita
In the same 1997, our today's heroine took part in the casting of actresses for the famous film adaptation of Vladimir Nabokov's novel "Lolita". The main role was predicted by Natalie Portman, however, despite this, at the last moment, Dominique Swain still managed to bypass her and sign a lucrative contract for shooting in the film. Thus, the seventeen-year-old actress was approved as the main character of Lolita. As a result, collaboration with Melanie Griffith became one of the brightest and most famous paintings in the long filmography of the actress. Two bright roles in the films "Face Off" and "Lolita" instantly made Dominique Swain a real Hollywood star. As a guest celebrity, she took part in the anti-fur campaign. And some time later, she starred in Moby's video "We Are All Made of Stars".
The Girl from The Naked Eye - a film with Dominique Swain
In parallel with this, the cinematic career of the actress was gaining momentum. In the late nineties - early 2000s, the girl starred in a whole series of popular films. The most famous among those were the paintings "Fan", "Summer Fun", "College", "Bad Girls" and some others. In each of these tapes, our today's heroine played a central role.
Bright and sexy screen images very soon made Dominique Swain one of the most coveted actresses in the history of world cinema. In 2001, at the age of twenty-one, the actress posed nude for PETA magazine, thus becoming the youngest erotic model in the history of the publication.
Subsequently, Dominique Swain exploited the image of a sexy teenage girl for a long time with might and main. Her fame was covered with a thin halo of scandalousness, but this only gave a special charm to the on-screen role of a celebrity. By the age of twenty, our today's heroine has become one of the most sought-after actresses of the early 2000s. It was during this period that the pictures “Best Friend”, “Alpha Dog”, as well as some other films that became a worthy continuation of the career of an actress, were released.
Dominique Swain at present
Since the mid-2000s, the actress's career began to slowly decline. Having matured somewhat, the actress lost her teenage charm, and therefore subsequently began to often play in second-rate horror films and other low-budget projects. A striking example of this are the paintings "Eater of Souls", "Bloody Feast", "Poison", "Robbers", "Nazis in the Center of the Earth", etc. The vast majority of the actress's works of this period subsequently received extremely low ratings from critics and ordinary viewers. Some exceptions were only the heartfelt drama "Ocean", as well as the melodrama "Road to Nowhere" (subsequently nominated for the prize of the Venice Film Festival). The two named works allowed the actress to somewhat correct the overall impression of her paintings. 
Recently, Dominique Swain has also been removed very often. One of the last pictures in the filmography of the actress is the failed action movie "The Bodyguard's Mistake", as well as the rather successful drama "Blue Dream".
It is known that in the next couple of years, the American actress will star in ten (!) New films. Her work is again dominated by low-budget projects. Some exceptions are only the rating science fiction film "Hunted" and the British action movie "Leather Trade". In the last of these tapes, Dominique Swain will become a partner Mickey Rourke.
Dominique Swain's personal life
Almost nothing is known about the novels of the actress. For certain, we can only say that the girl is still not married.In everyday life, she pays a lot of attention to protecting the environment and works closely with animal rights companies.
After Tureano Johnson refused to enter the ring against Gennady Golovkin, citing a shoulder injury, IBF quickly found a new contender for the Kazakh puncher. He turned out to be an American Dominic Wade, who performs in the pro-ring with the title of prospect. A few words about the theoretical April rival GGG - in the material.
For 25-year-old boxer Dominic Wade, a potential fight against Gennady Golovkin will turn into either success or failure. Moreover, for success it will not be necessary to defeat GGG at all. Enough to prove himself worthy and at least try to cause problems to Golovkin during the fight. So to speak, to show the character of a fighter and the presence of the makings of a champion. But in the event of a total fiasco, Wade risks ruining his sports career, which today can hardly be called outstanding.
The birthplace of the American Wade is the town of Largo, Maryland. Dominic began his professional career on March 14, 2009. In his debut fight against Chris Davis, he won an early victory by knocking out his opponent in the 28th second of the first round. Since then, Wyed has fought 17 more fights and has not suffered a single defeat. By the way, so far there is not a single serious champion in the boxer's impeccable resume. However, this, as it turned out, did not at all affect the fact that he was in third place in the IBF rating.
The unbeaten Dominic Wade is not a strong puncher. Moreover, in some of his fights, he even acted as the second number, winning either by a separate decision of the judges or by knockouts. On account of his 12 early victories. However, as it was written earlier, he was not a clear leader in all meetings, preferring to fight in a not too spectacular way. And the results of individual meetings still cause controversy among both viewers and experts.
For example, the last fight against 41-year-old Australian Sam Soliman. The ex-world champion, despite being knocked down in the fourth round, threw and landed many more punches throughout the fight, and also set the tone for the fight. As a result, the separate decision of the judges to give the victory to Wade caused an unceasing rumble among the spectators. It is worth noting that the case with Soliman is not the only one in his entire career. You can name about three "battles" when Wade dubiously celebrated the victory.
Based on how Wade behaves in the ring, we can say that the boxer is in search of his own style. This is also evidenced by the words spoken by Dominic himself before one of his fights: “I had a great training camp that lasted three weeks. Good training and sparring. You will see me more boxing than cutting. Although if there are exchanges, then my the jaw is ready for that too. But you will see a smarter Dominic Wade." And so from fight to fight. Be that as it may, the lack of a strong blow and proper pressure will negatively affect the fight against Golovkin. Compared to Wade's previous counterparts, Gennady can disorient Dominic for a long time.
Among other things, the prospect does not have stable activity. For comparison: in 2014, the number of fights with his participation was four, while last year he entered the ring only once. And in 2012, he did not have a single fight at all.
Of course, you can’t call Dominic untalented. He shows promise and has excellent chances to achieve future heights. But most likely not now. By the way, unlike many of his countrymen, at the moment Wade was not a participant in any scandal, and he did not make loud statements either. On the other hand, I know relatively little about Kazakhstan. In 2014, Wade played on the undercard of the Hopkins-Shumenov fight, where he defeated Marcus Upshaw in the second round (Beibut Shumenov lost his fight).
One way or another, Gennady Golovkin will be the undisputed favorite of the theoretical duel Wade - Golovkin. And given the refusals of the champions to hold unification fights with GGG, the chances that the aforementioned fight will take place are quite high. At least the negotiations have begun.
