Salma Hayek turned heads in Hollywood
in the movie Desperado. But this young actress did not just come out of
no where. Salma Hayek was born and raised in her native country of
Mexico some 27 years ago. Salma first role was in the telenovela Nuevo
Amanecer, which led to the starring role in Teresa. For the title role
in Teresa, Salma received various awards such as the "Premio TV y
Novela" and the "Heraldo," Mexico's Emmy. But soap
stardom wasn't enough for Salma. So the actress left everything in
Mexico to start all over again in the US. Starting all over meant,
learning a new language and giving up her cushy lifestyle. Salma's
persistence quickly paid off when she began to land small roles on many
sitcoms.
Early US roles included guest spots on Nurses, SinBand & Dream On.
Soon came a small role in Alison Ander's Mi Vida Loca, nothing memorable
but when the film's poster came out a very predominant photo of Salma is
seen. Salma did not forget her roots when she came to the US. Shortly
afterwards, came a starring role in Road Racers, which was part of
Showtime's Rebel Highway series, and was directed by Robert Rodriguez.
She went back to Mexico to make a cameo appearance in the epic
mini-series El Vuelo Del Aguila, and starred in the film El Callejon de
Los Milagros, which has yet to be released in the US. Then came Salma's
big break, a starring role opposite Spanish actor Antonio Banderas in
director Robert Rodirguez's sequel to El Mariachi, Desperado. Soon Salma
earned roles in numerous films, including Fair Game, Four Rooms, she
stole the show with her vampire antics in the Quentin Tarentino/Robert
Rodriguez film From Dusk 'Til Dawn, & can be seen in the current
film Fled.
Upcoming roles for Salma will include the starring role in Breaking Up
with Russel Crowe. This film has yet to find a distributor, so it may be
awhile until we see it. But in the meantime Salma will be starring in
Fools Rush In with Friends star Matthew Perry, and will play the role of
Esmeralda in TNT's version of Hunchback Of Notre Dame. Salma already had
experience for that role since she did the voice of Esmeralda in
Disney's Spanish version of the film, El Jorabado de Notre Dame.
