Penelope Cruz Sanchez

Penelope Cruz Sanchez is the daughter of Eduardo Cruz, a Madrid hairdresser, as well as Encarna Sanchez. She was an obsessive performer when she was a kid, and reenacted TV commercials to amuse the family. However, she decided to focus her attention on dance. After pursuing classical ballet for nine years in Spain's National Conservatory, she continued her studies under a group of prominent dancers. She realized her passion at age 15, when she beat more than 300 contestants in an audition for an agency for talent. The contract she got secured her roles on Spanish television shows , as well as music videos. It opened the doors to a promising career in the world of film. Cruz made her film debut in 1993's The Greek Labyrinth (The Greek Labyrinth). Then she briefly made an appearance in Framed (1992) the Timothy Dalton thriller. Her next film, Belle Epoque (1992), was an Oscar-winning production in which she played one four sisters who were competing to win the love of the handsome deserter soldier. It also won many Goyas which is the Spanish equivalent to the Academy Awards. She continued to add more films to her list of credits, growing by three to four per year. Soon Cruz became the most prominent actress in Spanish cinema. 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). It was a turning point for her in 1998, when the industry-related film comedy La Nina De Tus Ojos (1998) earned her the award for the Best Actress Goya. After a few more tries in English-language films her first international success was the film of Almodovar All About My Mother (1999) where she played a unchaste, but very well-meaning nun. When the film was lavishly adorned with awards and accolades, Cruz became highly sought-after across both sides of the Atlantic. Woman on Top (2000) was her next film. It was an American comedy about a chef with extraordinary cooking skills, as well as the dreadful motion sickness. While in America,
