Salma Hayek is a Mexican and American actress and film producer who was born on September 2, 1966, in Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, Mexico.

She moved to Los Angeles in 1991, studied acting with Stella Adler and soon established herself in Hollywood.
Her breakout film was Desperado in 1995, and her portrayal of Frida Kahlo in Frida in 2002, which she also produced, made her the first Mexican actress nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress. She later starred in Grown Ups, The Hitman's Bodyguard, House of Gucci and the Marvel film Eternals in 2021, and lent her voice to Puss in Boots. Time named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2023.

Acting fees are the base. After Desperado in 1995, she took roles in films such as From Dusk till Dawn, Dogma and Wild Wild West, and later in popular comedies like Grown Ups in 2010 and Grown Ups 2 in 2013, which were commercial hits for her.
Producing is a big part of her career. She founded the company Ventanarosa in 1999, produced Frida and the Showtime film In the Time of the Butterflies, and earned Emmy nominations for her work on the ABC series Ugly Betty from 2006 to 2010.
Voice work and franchises add more. She voiced characters in Puss in Boots and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish in 2022, and played Ajak in Eternals, which became her highest-grossing live action film.
