Salma Hayek

Mexican-American actress Salma Hayek is undoubtedly one of the most recognizable actresses in the past few decades. The actress/producer began her acting journey back in her home country of Mexico through telenovela roles. By 1991, the actress went to Hollywood and started trying out for roles. She eventually landed a big part in the 1995 film Desperado, where she worked alongside Antonio Banderas.

Salma was already a recognized figure in Hollywood by the early 2000s. However, in 2002, the actress rose to a higher degree of success after bringing Frida Kahlo’s character to life in the film Frida. That role later earned her multiple Best Actress nominations from almost every prestigious award-giving body, including the Oscars, BAFTA, and the Golden Globes. After gaining massive success in the industry, Salma has decided to produce and spend some of her investment money creating quality films.
