Salma Hayek - Cream de la cream Latin-America Hollywood Actress


Today's GirlsfrmVenus celebrity is Salma Hayek - the most successful Latin America actress in Hollywood other than her counterparts Penelope Cruz, J-Lo & etc.

"...starred as the Mexican surrealist painter Frida Kahlo in the drama bio pic "Frida" (2002). For years Hayek fought to get the film made, eventually becoming the movie's producer, and the actress powered the the project into production by the sheer force of her desire to bring the life story of her fellow countrywoman to the screen. While reaction to the film--directed by avant garde auteur Julie Taymor--was mixed, Hayek's intense performance was roundly praised. She was able to transcend both her sex symbol status and the limits of her ethnicity when she received an Academy Award nomination as Best Actress for her efforts. "
