妮娜·杜波夫的出現，使得保加利亞人終于可以說他們成功進軍了好萊塢。年僅21歲時，妮娜·杜波夫便已憑借著其在廣受追捧的美劇《吸血鬼日記》中所扮演的埃琳娜·吉爾伯特，獲得了國際上的認可。

妮娜出生于保加利亞首都索非亞，但她在兩歲時便和父母移民到了加拿大。妮娜熱衷于藝術，在安大略省的多倫多，她更是獲得了發展其演藝天賦的機會。

2009年，妮娜憑借《吸血鬼日記》取得了重大突破。她扮演了一名在兩個吸血鬼兄弟間糾纏的年輕女孩。在第二季中，她還扮演了保加利亞籍的凱瑟琳·皮爾斯—一位來自兩兄弟的過去的吸血鬼。

在一共參演了20部美國和加拿大的電影及電視劇后，妮娜已經成為了好萊塢發展最快的明星之一。……
