Penelope Cruz Sanchez

Penelope Cruz Sanchez was born in Madrid to Eduardo Cruz, a retailer and Encarna Sanchez, hairdresser. She was an obsessive performer as a child and would reenact TV commercials to keep the family entertained. However, she chose to focus her attention on dancing. After pursuing classical ballet for 9 years in Spain's National Conservatory, she continued her education under a number of prominent dancers. She discovered her true passion at the age of 15, after she defeated over 300 other girls at an audition at an agency for talents. The resultant contract secured her numerous roles on Spanish TV shows and music videos. This in turn opened the door to an acting career on the big screen. Cruz made her debut film in 1993's The Greek Labyrinth (The Greek Labyrinth). She then briefly was in Framed (1992), a Timothy Dalton thriller. Her next film was the Oscar-winning Belle Epoque (1992), in which she played one of four sisters fighting to win the heart of a handsome deserter from the army. It also won numerous Goyas that are the Spanish equivalent of the Academy Awards. Cruz became a renowned Spanish actress thanks to her average of three to four films per year, which was a growing list. Live Flesh (1997) (Live Flesh) offered her the chance to work with renowned Spanish director Pedro Almodovar (who would later be her ticket to international fame), and the same year she was the lead actress in the thriller/drama/mystery/sci-fi film Open Your Eyes (1997), a huge hit in Spain that earned eight Goyas (though none for Cruz). In 1998, her luck changed when she received the Best Actress Goya for the movie-industry comedy La Nina De Tus Ojos (1998). After a few more tries at film in the English language her first international hit was in Almodovar's All About My Mother (1999) where she portrayed an unchaste but well-meaning nun. Cruz became in high demand in both the Atlantic and the west coast, since the film received numerous awards and awards. The American comedy Woman on Top (2001), which was her next big project, is about a chef who has both amazing culinary skills and extremely motion sickness. While living in the US,
