==Career==

===Hollywood breakthrough (1995–2001)===

[[File:Selma Hayek 1998.jpg|thumb|upright|Hayek in 1998 at the [[White House Correspondents' Association|White House Correspondents]] dinner]]

 

Hayek starred as a photographer and the [[on-and-off relationship|on-and-off girlfriend]] of a New York City architect, opposite [[Matthew Perry]], in the romantic comedy ''[[Fools Rush In (1997 film)|Fools Rush In]]'' (1997). Film critic [[Roger Ebert]] gave the film 3 stars out of a possible 4 and described it as "a sweet, entertaining retread of an ancient formula", elevated by good performances (particularly Hayek) and an insightful "level of observation and human comedy".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/fools-rush-in-1997|title=Fools Rush in movie review & film summary (1997) &#124; Roger Ebert|access-date=January 2, 2022|archive-date=January 2, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220102063105/https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/fools-rush-in-1997|url-status=live}}</ref> ''Fool's Rush In'' was a moderate commercial success and earned Hayek an [[ALMA Award]] nomination for [[ALMA Award|Outstanding Actress in a Feature Film]]. In another romantic comedy, ''[[Breaking Up (1997 film)|Breaking Up]]'' (also 1997), she and [[Russell Crowe]] portrayed a couple whose relationship leads to an out-of-the-blue marriage. Ken Eisner of ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' magazine wrote: "Russell Crowe and Salma Hayek make attractive leads, but they have neither the marquee power nor the requisite chemistry to keep ''Breaking Up'' from getting left at the altar of general distribution."<ref>{{cite web |date=29 June 1997 |last=Eisner |first=Ken |author-link=Ken Eisner |title=Breaking Up |url=https://variety.com/1997/film/reviews/breaking-up-2-1117432616/ |website=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] |access-date=January 2, 2022 |archive-date=January 2, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220102063104/https://variety.com/1997/film/reviews/breaking-up-2-1117432616/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Indeed, the film was distributed for selected markets in the United States only.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl877233665/weekend/| title = Breaking Up – Box Office Mojo| access-date = January 2, 2022| archive-date = January 2, 2022| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20220102063105/https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl877233665/weekend/| url-status = live}}</ref>

 

===Worldwide recognition (2002–2009)===

 

In 2003, Hayek produced and directed ''The Maldonado Miracle'', a Showtime film based on the book of the same name, for which she won the [[Daytime Emmy Award]] for Outstanding Directing in a Children Special,<ref name="daytimeaward">{{cite press release|url=http://www.emmyonline.org/emmy/daytime_31st_creative_b.htm |title=The 31st Annual Creative Craft Daytime Emmy Awards |publisher=National Academy of Television |date=May 14, 2004 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070618150551/http://www.emmyonline.org/emmy/daytime_31st_creative_b.htm |archive-date=June 18, 2007}}</ref> reunited with Robert Rodriguez for ''[[Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over]]'' and ''[[Once Upon a Time in Mexico]]'',<ref>{{cite news|last=Freydkin|first=Donna|title=Once upon a time, there were three unknowns|url=http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2003-09-08-hot-trio_x.htm|access-date=May 17, 2013|newspaper=[[USA Today]]|date=September 8, 2003|archive-date=October 21, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121021081734/http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2003-09-08-hot-trio_x.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> and made an appearance in the documentary ''[[V-Day: Until the Violence Stops]]''.

Hayek appeared alongside her good friend [[Penélope Cruz]] in the 2006 [[Western film|Western]] comedy ''[[Bandidas]]'', portraying two women who become a bank robbing duo in an effort to combat a ruthless enforcer terrorizing their town. Randy Cordova of the ''[[Arizona Republic]]'' said the film "sports" Hayek and her co-star Penélope Cruz as the "lusty dream team" and that they were the "marketing fantasy" for the film.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.azcentral.com/ent/movies/articles/1013bandidas1013.html |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120729131819/http://www.azcentral.com/ent/movies/articles/1013bandidas1013.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=29 July 2012 |title=Bandidas |first=Randy |last=Cordova |work=[[Arizona Republic]] |publisher=AZcentral.com |date=13 October 2006 |access-date=20 April 2010 }}</ref> ''Bandidas'' was followed by ''[[Ask the Dust (film)|Ask the Dust]]'', a period romance set in Los Angeles based on a John Fante novel<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/booksblog/2009/jan/14/john-fante-ask-dust|title=How Ask the Dust nearly missed greatness|first=Rob|last=Woodard|work=The Guardian|date=14 January 2009|location=London|access-date=January 2, 2022|archive-date=August 28, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200828083806/https://www.theguardian.com/books/booksblog/2009/jan/14/john-fante-ask-dust|url-status=live}}</ref> and co-starring [[Colin Farrell]].

===Continued commercial success (2010–2017)===

Hayek served as a producer and provided her voice for the character of Kamila, a widowed mother, in ''[[The Prophet (2014 film)|The Prophet]]'' (2014), adapted from the 1923 book by [[Kahlil Gibran]]. Describing the film as a "love letter to my heritage", Hayek said it helped her explore her relationship with her late grandfather, who was a fan of the book, and remarked: "Between all the connections of our ancestors and the memories of the ones that are no longer with us, I hope they are proud of this film because I did it also for them".<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-lebanon-film-hayek-idUKKBN0NI16W20150427 |title=Salma Hayek pays tribute to Lebanese roots with film of 'The Prophet' |work=Reuters |last=Westall |first=Sylvia |date=April 27, 2015 |access-date=February 16, 2022 |archive-date=February 16, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220216173606/https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-lebanon-film-hayek-idUKKBN0NI16W20150427 |url-status=live }}</ref> In 2014, she made a brief appearance in [[James Bobin]]’s comedy sequel ''[[Muppets Most Wanted]]'', starred as a woman forced into [[sexual slavery]] in [[Joe Lynch (director)|Joe Lynch]]'s action drama ''[[Everly (film)|Everly]]'', and reunited with Pierce Brosnam to play his love interest in [[Tom Vaughan (director)|Tom Vaughan]]'s romantic comedy ''[[Some Kind of Beautiful]]''. ''Everly'' and ''Some Kind of Beautiful '' were both distributed for online markets and poorly received; while critics noted that the former "benefits from Joe Lynch's stylish direction and Salma Hayek's starring work, but it's too thinly written and sleazily violent to fully recommend",<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/everly/ | title=Everly | work=[[Rotten Tomatoes]] | publisher=[[Flixster]] | access-date=February 26, 2015 | archive-date=February 26, 2015 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150226104406/http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/everly | url-status=live }}</ref> [[Rotten Tomatoes]] gave the latter a 6% rating based on 34 reviews.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/some_kind_of_beautiful |title=Some Kind of Beautiful |publisher=Rotten Tomatoes |date= |accessdate=2022-02-13 |archive-date=November 17, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211117044421/https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/some_kind_of_beautiful |url-status=live }}</ref>

Early in her career, Hayek came to be regarded as a [[sex symbol]], and her most of her early films, it has been noted, such as the action-oriented ''Desperado'', ''From Dusk Till Dawn'', and ''Fled'', "predominantly featured her in racy sex symbol type of roles" and ultimately made Hayek a familiar face with mainstream audiences.<ref>{{cite web |author=Spence D. |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2002/10/24/an-interview-with-salma-hayek |title=An Interview with Salma Hayek |publisher=IGN |date= October 24, 2002|accessdate=2022-02-13 |archive-date=January 2, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220102162418/https://www.ign.com/articles/2002/10/24/an-interview-with-salma-hayek |url-status=live }}</ref> Various media publications have cited her as one of Hollywood's most beautiful actresses.
