Penelope Cruz Sanchez

Penelope Cruz Sanchez was the daughter of Eduardo Cruz (a retailer) and Encarna Sanchez (a hairdresser). When she was a toddler she was an obsessed performer. She would even re-enact TV commercials for the amusement of her family. However, she decided to focus her efforts on dance. After pursuing classical ballet for nine years in Spain's National Conservatory, she continued her education under a variety of famous dancers. At 15, however she discovered her true purpose when she beat more than 300 other girls at an audition for a talent agency. The contract she signed secured her a variety of roles in Spanish television shows as well as music videos, which in turn led to a career on the big screen. Cruz made her film debut in 1993's The Greek Labyrinth (The Greek Labyrinth). She then briefly was in Framed (1992), a Timothy Dalton thriller. The third film she starred in was an Oscar-winning film, Belle Epoque (1992), where she played one of four sisters vying for the affection of a handsome deserter from the army. The film also won many Goyas that are the Spanish equivalent of the Academy Awards. Her film resume continued to expand by 3-4 films per year. Soon Cruz was the leading lady 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). The luck of her life changed dramatically in 1998, when the industry-related film comedy La Nina De Tus Ojos (1998) was awarded the title of award for the Best Actress Goya. Cruz was able to travel to films in English, but All About My Mother (1999) was her first major international hit. She played a unchaste yet well-meaning nun. Cruz was in hot demand throughout the Atlantic as well as the west coast as the film received many awards and praises.
