Salma Hayek Jiménez (born September 2, 1966) is an Academy Award-nominated Mexican actress. Also an Emmy winning director, a film and television producer. As the most successful Latin American actress in Hollywood since Carmen Miranda, Hayek has appeared in more than thirty films, worked as an actress outside of Hollywood in Mexico and Spain.

At the age of 23, Hayek landed the title role in Teresa (1989), a successful telenovela (Mexican soap opera) which earned her star status in her native country. Later, in 1994, Hayek starred in El Callejón de los Milagros ("The Alley of Miracles"), which has won more awards than any other movie in the history of Mexican Cinema. Hayek was nominated to an Ariel Award for her performance.

Despite limited fluency in English, Hayek moved to Los Angeles, California, in 1991 to study acting under Stella Adler with the hopes of starting a career in Hollywood. Robert Rodriguez and his producer wife Elizabeth Avellan soon gave Hayek the break she needed, starring opposite Antonio Banderas in 1995's Desperado.

Frida, co-produced by Hayek, was released in 2002. Starring Hayek as Frida Kahlo, and Alfred Molina as her unfaithful husband, Diego Rivera, the film also had an entourage of stars in supporting roles, including Antonio Banderas, Ashley Judd, Geoffrey Rush, Edward Norton and Valeria Golino and was directed by Julie Taymor. Her outstanding performance won her a Best Actress Academy Award nomination.

Concerning marriage Hayek has said, "Women have been taught that in order to have a place in the world, an identity, they must marry and have children. If that's the life you truly want, great. But for many women, marriage is only about needing the world to know that someone desires them enough to say, 'Here's a contract to prove that I love you and will commit to you for the rest of my life.' For these women, no contract equals no validation - and, thus, no reason for existing."
