Salma Hayek - Vogue ( Madonna song )

Salma Hayek (born Salma Valgarma Hayek Jiménez; September 2, 1966) is a Mexican and American film actress and producer. Hayek’s breakthrough role came in the 2002 biographical film Frida, a film which she co-produced and starred in as Mexican painter Frida Kahlo. For her performance, she received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress, becoming the first Mexican actress nominated in that category, in addition to nominations for the Golden Globe Award, Screen Actors Guild Award, and British Academy Film Award for Best Actress. The film was widely praised and became a critical and commercial success. Hayek won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Directing in a Children/Youth/Family Special for The Maldonado Miracle in 2004, and received a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series after guest-starring in the ABC television comedy-drama Ugly Betty in 2007. From April 7 to June 18, 2006, the Blue Star Contemporary Art Center in San Antonio, Texas hosted an exhibition called “Solamente Salma“ (Spanish for “Only Salma“), consisting of 16 portrait paintings by muralist George Yepes and filmmaker Robert Rodriguez of Hayek as the Aztec goddess Itzpapalotl. In July 2007, The Hollywood Reporter ranked Hayek fourth in their inaugural Latino Power 50, a list of the most powerful members of the Hollywood Latino community. That same month, a poll found Hayek to be the “sexiest celebrity“ out of a field of 3,000 celebrities (male and female); according to the poll, “65 percent of the U.S. population would use the term ’sexy’ to describe her“. In 2008, she was awarded the Women in Film Lucy Award in recognition of her excellence and innovation in her creative works that have enhanced the perception of women through the medium of television. In December of that year, Entertainment Weekly ranked Hayek number 17 in their list of the “25 Smartest People in TV.“
