Born
on September 2, 1966, in Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, Salma is
the daughter of a Spanish descended mother and a Lebanese
descended father. She is considered the first Mexican actress
to become a Hollywood movie star since Delores Del Rio. Salma
was raised in Coatzacoalcos, and at twelve, her parents sent
her to a catholic boarding school in Louisiana.
Salma was suspended
from the private school and sent home after just 2 years. |
Her aptitude for mischief,
usually directed against the nuns who ran the school, played a key
roll in her dismissal. Salma finished high school in Mexico, and
then went to live with her aunt in Houston until she was seventeen.
Salma relocated to Mexico
City to attend college, where she studied international relations.
She had harbored her desire to become an actress for years, and
she finally confronted her parents and told them of her aspiration
to pursue acting. Despite her parents disapproval, Salma quite college
and pursued her acting career. Salma started in plays at neighborhood
theaters, which led to jobs in television commercials, which in
turn yielded a casting in "Nuevo Amanecer", a daytime
TV serial.
Selma was then cast as the
title character in an extraordinarily popular soap opera, "Theresa".
Salma's popularity grew quickly and soon she was the most fervently
adored actress in Mexico. Rather than settle into the stardom she
had, Salma decided to risk it all by moving to Los Angeles in 1991.
She worked hard to get going
and took intensive acting and English lessons. In 1993, she got
her first break. Salma didn't get the large role she wanted in Allison
Anders' "Mi Vida Loca", but it qualified her for membership
in the Screen Actors Guild. Salma's appearance on a Spanish-language
cable access talk show led to her big break. Mexican American director
Robert Rodriguez was so impressed with the sparkling charisma and
dazzling appearance of Salma that he immediately cast her in the
female lead in "Desperado". She received rave reviews
for her exceptional performance and sizzling sexy style.
