The amazing Salma Hayek was born on September
2, 1966, in the oil boomtown of Coatzacoalcos, Mexico. Hayek has
freely admitted that she and her brother, Sami, were spoiled
rotten by her well-to-do Lebanese-Mexican businessman father and
her Mexican-born opera-singing mother. After having seen Willy
Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) in a local movie theatre,
Salma decided she wanted to become an actress. Her education
included a stint at a New Orleans convent school, where she
pulled pranks on the nuns by setting their clocks back three
hours. She was soon expelled. Only after attending Mexico City's
Universidad Iberoamericana did she feel ready to pursue acting
seriously.
