PENELOPE CRUZ | 47

Penelope Cruz is always considered one of the most beautiful actresses in Hollywood and also in her motherland, Spain. Her stunning looks paired with her great acting skills made her a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment landscape. At the young age of 15, she already took on a couple of modeling gigs and, a year later, found a job contract as part of a Spanish romantic-comedy film Jam¨n Jam¨. She worked with her lawyers and slowly made her way toward the international acting scene, which was probably the right move for her at that time.

During the early 2000s, she tried her luck in a couple of American films and found precisely what she was looking for after she starred in Vanilla Sky. During the course of her career, Cruz has set a couple of milestones in Hollywood as the first Spanish actress to be on the receiving end of an Academy Award as well as earning a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
