Salma Hayek was part of great films and gave life to unforgettable characters.
Salma Hayek knew that acting was her passion and she fought until she had great opportunities. So it was that the actress not only succeeded on the small screen but she also made it to the movies.
Hayek's first artistic work was in the play Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp. There she was seen by a television producer who offered her a role in the soap opera Nuevo Dawn, and that's how everything started for her. After working on several successful melodramas, Salma Hayek decided to move to the United States and thus launch her international career. A more than correct decision, since the actress achieved great recognition worldwide.
The character who changed Salma Hayek's life
After joining the successful soap opera 'Teresa', Salma Hayek went out in search of luck in Hollywood. Her talent, charisma, and beauty were reasons enough for her to succeed in the film industry.
The actress decided to study acting in Los Angeles, California, and thus prepare for future projects. At first, she got some small roles in not very well-known films. Her first big role came in Desperado ("The Ballad of the Pistolero", in Latin America), a film she made with Antonio Banderas. From that moment on, Hayek began to have more job opportunities.
But in 2002 came the role that would take her to the peak of fame. That year she starred in the film "Frida", based on the life of the famous Mexican painter Frida Kahlo. This film received six Oscar nominations, including Best Actress for the Mexican performer.
Frida Kahlo was the most notable character in Salma Hayek's career. Later, the actress had the opportunity to give life to other memorable characters. Some of them are based on real people and others are fictitious.
We will soon see her in the skin of a real woman, Pina Auriemma, in "House of Gucci", the drama directed by Ridley Scott and featuring a luxury cast led by Lady Gaga and Adam Driver. She can also be seen as a superhero in "Eternals", the upcoming Marvel Studios film, where she will give life to the character of Ajax.
