Salma Hayek has always believed in her destiny. After becoming a telenovela superstar in her native Mexico, she ditches fame and fortune in her own country, and leaves it behind her for the mere chance of making it in Hollywood. Once she lands in LA, however, it’s clear to her that success in the US will be a challenging, uphill battle. She starts small, and has to navigate the tricky waters of profiling and stereotyping - not to mention a potentially career-derailing experience with Harvey Weinstein. But she endures. And wins. Regardless of what is thrown at this Oscar-nominated actor, one thing is clear - she won’t let anything stand between her and her destiny.
