But last night, appropriately under a shroud of darkness, hundreds upon hundreds of people (myself and Latina's entertainment editor Angie Romero included) lined up at theaters across America, coffee or Red Bull in hand, to be one of the first to see this summer's most anticipated movie, The Dark Knight.

Penelope Cruz may be on top of her game these days (red-hot career, gorgeous boyfriend, looks that could kill), but she wasn't always living the life of an A-lister.
