Salma Hayek Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
Salma Hayek Jiménez (born September 2, 1966 - some sources quote her birth date as September 2, 1968) is a Mexican actress. After starring in Mexican television shows, she came to Hollywood and spent a few years in bit parts, then made her name in Robert Rodriguez' Desperado.
Hayek was born in Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, Mexico, the daughter of Sami Hayek Dominguez, a businessman of part-Lebanese descent who once ran for mayor of their city, and Diana Jiménez, an opera singer and talent scout. Salma is a Spanish name from Arabic for "peace" or calm". She speaks English, Spanish, Arabic, and Portuguese.
Hayek completed work on her own film Frida (an account of the life of Frida Kahlo), in which she played the lead character and was also the producer. She was engaged to colleague Edward Norton. In 1994, Hayek confessed at "The Cristina Show", to having had a short romantic relationship with world boxing champion Julio Cesar Chavez.
It has been pointed out, with tongue in cheek, that her roles in From Dusk Till Dawn and Dogma may have made her the only movie actress to play both a stripper from hell and a stripper from heaven.
Hayek made her directorial debut with the telefilm The Maldonado Miracle (2003), starring Peter Fonda, Mare Winningham and Ruben Blades.
