During her career, the beauty has 72 roles and has received nominations for Oscar, Golden Globe and Emmy.

Salma Hayek began acting in 1988 but did not attract attention until 1995 in the Western film “Desperado”. The actress plays the lover of the main character El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas). The duo had more than a minute of passionate lovemaking, in which the Mexican beauty was naked. On The Sun , she shared that she cried because she was afraid to show her body in front of the camera.

“From Dusk till Dawn” (1996) is the film that established Salma Hayek’s 𝑠e𝑥y image in Hollywood. She plays a vampire queen, disguised as a beautiful stripper. Although the work was not a hit, the beauty’s provocative dance in the bar was remembered by many audiences and continued to be discussed many years later.

The famous female artist Frida Kahlo in “Frida” (2002) is the most successful role in Salma Hayek’s career. She recreates Frida’s life from the age of 18, experiencing many turmoil and inner turmoil until her death at the age of 47. The character has a liberal 𝑠e𝑥 life, loves both men and women, and even had a relationship with her husband’s lover. On IGN , Hayek said that “𝑠e𝑥y” scenes in the film were necessary to properly portray the characters in real life. She received an Oscar nomination for “Best Actress” for this transformation.

In “After the Sunset” (2004), Salma Hayek plays the mistress of a notorious thief (Pierce Brosnan). The beauty shows off her hot looks in tropical outfits and has many intimate scenes with the actor who once played 007.

 

The action-comedy movie “Bandidas” (2006) caused a fever when it brought together two beauties Salma Hayek and Penélope Cruz. Hayek plays a noble lady, while Cruz plays a poor peasant girl. After an attack on their father, the two girls form a gang of robbers to get revenge.

Salma Hayek participated in the production and guest role in the series “Ugly Betty” (2006 – 2010). Her character is the author of a series of feminist books. The star was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for “Outstanding Guest Actress” for this role.

After her wedding with French billionaire – François-Henri Pinault – in 2009, Salma Hayek refrained from acting in roles that showed off her body or were rebellious. She changed her screen image to a powerful character, typically like the boss in “Savages” (2012). The character is cold-blooded, commanding a criminal gang but always loves his daughter.

In 2015, the beauty participated in the fantasy film “Tale of Tales” (2015) directed by Matteo Garrone. The work is based on many fairy tales, combining surreal and symbolic images. She transformed into a queen because she wanted a child so much that she accepted to eat a dragon’s heart.

In 2017, Salma Hayek joined “The Hitman’s Bodyguard” as the wife of Samuel L. Jackson’s character. The husband is a famous assassin, and the wife is also notorious in the criminal world. At the age of 50, the star still maintains her hot look, looking younger than her age. In addition, she also showed off her fighting skills in the movie.
