No Mexican actress in the late-20th and early-21st century can boast the career of one Ms Salma Hayek. Equally at home in Robert Rodriguez flicks where she shoots up a storm as in quiet character-driven indies, the Mexican actress has built a career for herself that’s earned her an Oscar nomination, a Daytime Emmy award, and several MTV Movie Awards in the process. That she also managed to use her stardom to advance social and political causes — not without stumbling on issues every once in a while — has made her an enduring presence on screens both big and small.
While you’d be able to spends days and days on end going through her full filmography — which includes collaborations with Antonio Banderas, Demián Bichir, Benicio Del Toro, Penelope Cruz, Will Smith, and Adam Sandler — we’ve singled out five performances that show her full range. Moreover, these are all available to stream from the comfort of your home. So whether you want to see Hayek transform into a Mexican icon or fall in love with a beloved sitcom superstar, check out five of Salma’s best and most well-known roles below.
