Biography
Born in southeast Mexico, daughter of a Lebanese father and a
Mexican mother, Hayek began her career in Mexican TV soap operas in

Amanecer and Teresa, Hayek left a relatively easy career in Mexican
TV and traveled to Los Angeles, searching for the promised land:
Hollywood. After some minor roles, Hayek began to be noticed as a
good actress in Desperado (1995). She returned to Mexico to film
Callejón de los Milagros, El (1995) and was nominated for an Ariel
(Mexican Academy Award). Hayek is considered to be the first
Mexican actress to become a Hollywood movie star since Dolores Del
Río.
