Hayek’s Hollywood breakthrough came after she moved to LA in 1991 having made a name for herself in Mexico as the star of the telenovela Teresa.
In 1995 Robert Rodriguez cast her opposite Antonio Banderas in desperado and in 1996 gave her a small role in From Dusk Till Dawn with George Clooney, Harvey Keitel and Juliette Lewis.
That led to a leading role opposite Friends star Matthew Perry in the 1997 romantic comedy Fools Rush In and the expensive flop Wild Wild West with Will Smith and Kevin Kline in 1999.
