Salma Hayek - Fact Sheet

Profession: Actress / Supermodel

Hayek moved to Los Angeles in 1991, a complete unknown in a city full of aspiring actors. Foreign to the English language, Hayek spent the next 18 months taking English lessons, while perfecting her acting skills with drama teacher Stella Adler. Although Hayek spent four months auditioning for a lead role that finally went to another actress, the film's director, impressed by her determination, cast her in a smaller role in the same film (1993's Mi vida loca, a.k.a My Crazy Life) so that she could become a member of the Screen Actors Guild. Her big break had finally arrived, and it was mostly thanks to her appearance on a Spanish-language cable talk show. Director Robert Rodriguez caught Hayek's appearance, and knew he had to cast her for the sequel to his successful film El Mariachi: 1995's Desperado, opposite Antonio Banderas.
