About Me

Salma Hayek - the sexiest woman on Earth

Salma Hayek Jiménez (born September 2, 1966) is an Academy Award-nominated Mexican actress, Daytime Emmy-winning director, and a film and television producer. Hayek has appeared in more than thirty films and performed as an actress outside of Hollywood in Mexico and Spain. Hayek was born in Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, Mexico to Sami Hayek, a Mexican-Lebanese oil company executive, and Diana Jiménez, an opera singer.[3] Hayek's paternal grandparents were Mexicans of Lebanese Arab descent, while her mother is of Spanish descent.[4] Raised in a wealthy, devoutly Catholic family, she was sent to the Academy of the Sacred Heart, Grand Coteau, Louisiana, at the age of 12. She was also an accomplished gymnast aspiring to compete in the Olympics.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Citing behavioral problems, the religious sisters running the Academy ejected her, so Hayek returned to Mexico. She was later sent to live with her aunt in Houston, Texas, where she stayed until she was 17. She attended college in Mexico City, where she studied International Relations at the Universidad Iberoamericana. To the chagrin of her family, she dropped out to pursue a career as an actress. At the age of 23, Hayek landed the title role in Teresa (1989), a successful Mexican telenovela that made her a star in Mexico. In 1994, Hayek starred in El Callejón de los Milagros (Miracle Alley), which has won more awards than any other movie in the history of Mexican cinema. For her performance Hayek was nominated to an Ariel Award.
