Salma Hayek Makes Things Happen

Sexy Salma Hayek has charmed fans ever since her first appearance in Mexican novelas twenty years ago. On screen and in her personal life, the fiery latina has always been a strong character. She is a beautiful woman driven by talent and determination. In addition to being a famous celebrity, she is also one of the most interesting and influential people in the latin world today.

Salma Valgarma Hayek Jiminez was born September 2, 1966, in the port city of Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, Mexico. Both parents had successful careers, so she
was always ambitious. She attended a university in Mexico City but left school
to become an actress.

A starring role in the popular telenovela Teresa made her famous in Mexico. She quickly followed that with a big award-winning performance in the Mexican film
El Callejon de los Milagros. She moved to Los Angeles to try Hollywood but could
not yet speak English.

Robert Rodriguez gave the young latina her first good role starring with Antonio Banderas in the fantastic action movie Desperado. Blessed with a perfect body and great personality, the talented actress impressed everyone.

The next year, Hayek's erotic snake dance as the sensuous vampire Satanico Pandemonium in From Dusk Til Dawn left both George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino totally speechless with amazement. I know that is a scene I will never forget!

After that, she won starring roles in many other popular pictures like Fools Rush In with Matthew Perry and the Wild Wild West with Will Smith. Her work as both producer and
star in Frida won her numerous awards and other nominations.

It was followed by other projects with
Robert Rodriguez like Spy Kids 3-D and
Once Upon A Time in Mexico. Since then, Hayek has done many different things including producing and acting in a new version of the popular novela Ugly Betty.

Hayek now manages her own production companies. She is a producer, a director, an actor and a singer in movies and television. Both Revlon and Avon have employed her to promote their beauty products around the world. She is an impressive woman but also very open and sincere.

Since her daughter Valentina was born, she has worked with UNICEF and others to improve health conditions for mothers around the world. Whether in front of the camera or behind the scenes, Salma is always making good things happen.
