Dark, petite and sexy, Salma Hayek got her start in Mexican television productions in the late 1980s before moving to Los Angeles to work in the movies. She had small but memorable roles in
Mi Vida Loca (1993) and
From Dusk Till Dawn (1996, with George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino), and she played the love interest opposite Antonio Banderas in
Desperado (1995). Although most of her early films played up her voluptuousness and sex appeal, she also produced and starred in the film
Frida (2002, with Geoffrey Rush), a drama based on the life of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. The film brought her an Oscar nomination for acting and put her squarely in the film production business. The executive producer of the hit TV series
Ugly Betty (starring America Ferrera), Hayek also won a Daytime Emmy for directing the movie
The Maldonado Miracle (2003). Her other films include Robert Rodriguez's
Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003, again with Banderas),
Ask the Dust (2006, with Colin Farrell), and
Lonely Hearts (2007, with Hayek as notorious serial killer Martha Beck).
Hayek is of Lebanese and Spanish descent... She was the voice of Esmerelda in the Spanish-dubbed version of Disney's
The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)... She played Alec Baldwin's fiery girlfriend in several 2009 episodes of the TV comedy
30 Rock (also starring Tina Fey)... In 2009 she married French billionaire Francois-Henry Pinault; they have one child.
