10. Salma Hayek
Salma has been described as being the perfect example of the perfect hourglass shape, by people who ought to know.
She’s rather petite (only 5’ 2”) but it just proves that good things do come in small packages.
Salma had this to say about her size: “I act tall!” “But look how short I am…I can’t even act to be tall. I’m five-two. I can’t even create the illusion that I am tall!”
Salma Hayek Jiménez was born September 2, 1966 in Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, Mexico.
She is the daughter of Diana Medina, an opera singer and talent scout and her father Sami Hayek Domínguez was an oil company executive.
She began her career in Mexico starring in the hugely popular telenovela Teresa but her big breakthrough in Mexico came with just one movie.
Salma starred in the film El Callejón de los Milagros ( translation – Miracle Alley) for which she was nominated for an Ariel Award.
She caught the attention of the world as Frida Kahlo in the movie Frida for which she was nominated in the category of Best Actress for an Academy Award, BAFTA Award, Screen Actors Guild Award and Golden Globe Award.
