Salma Hayek is a Mexican actress, director and producer, and remains one of the most prominent Mexican figures in Hollywood. Hayek was born in Veracruz, Mexico. She received her debut role in Teresa (1989), a Mexican telenovela. Her first Hollywood starring role was opposite Antonio Banderas in 1995’s Desperado.

The gorgeous Salma Hayek usually steps out on the red carpet wearing a fab glamorous gown, but lately she’s been rocking lots of wide-leg jeans and cute tops.
