Salma Hayek is a Mexican actress who, because of her ethnicity, faced significant typecasting issues in Hollywood. Additionally, her English had a certain accent, which people believed would hinder her progress in mainstream acting. However, with her perseverance and self-belief, she proved all the skepticism wrong. She has since worked in many notable films, including From Dusk Till Dawn, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, and Eternals, and has also made a mark in television with her role in Ugly Betty, which earned her an Emmy.
