People Outraged At Who Beat Salma Hayek to Hottest Woman Award

She began her career in Mexico…

Hayek landed the title role in Teresa (1989), a successful Mexican telenovela that rocketed her to stardom in Mexico.

She then went on to star in the romantic drama El Callejón de los Milagros in 1995, later being nominated for an Ariel Award.

She went on to study acting under Stella Adler — but as a woman with limited English and a diagnosis of dyslexia, this proved to be extremely challenging.

However, she soon established herself in Hollywood.

After a couple of minor roles, the actress landed a small but major role in the 1996 cult classic From Dusk Till Dawn alongside George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino.

This saw Hayek take on the character Santanico Pandemonium…

This was actually a tribute to a Mexican horror movie of the same name from 1975.
