Penélope Cruz is a Spanish actress who performs in both Spanish and English-language films.

Her accolades include an Academy Award, a BAFTA Award, a Grammy Award, three Goya Awards and a David di Donatello.
She has worked in seven films directed by Pedro Almodóvar, including Live Flesh, All About My Mother, Volver, Broken Embraces and Parallel Mothers.

How Penélope Cruz makes her money
Film acting is the base of her income. She has worked for more than thirty years in Europe and Hollywood, and an Oscar-winning actress who can lead both Spanish-language and English-language productions is paid well in each market. Big studio films such as Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides added Hollywood-level pay.
Brand work is a large second stream. She has modeled for Mango, Ralph Lauren and L'Oréal and has been a brand ambassador for Chanel since 2018, a kind of long contract that can pay a top star very well.
She has also produced several films she appeared in, including Ma Ma in 2015 and On the Fringe in 2022, and she designed a clothing line for Mango with her sister Mónica Cruz. On television she was nominated for an Emmy for playing Donatella Versace in 2018.
She is one of Spain's best-known actresses. Working in both Spanish and English lets her take parts in European art films and in Hollywood productions, which widens the range of deals open to her.
